The latest ranking of semiconductor manufacturers, Intel back to the top
Time of Release:
2022-07-25
The quarterly performance review confirmed that Samsung remained the top semiconductor company in terms of revenue in the fourth quarter of last year, bringing in $19.995 billion of revenue, while Intel's revenue was $199.76B. Samsung is also a semiconductor company with large revenue in the third quarter of the 21st year, after Intel became a semiconductor company in the first and second quarters of the 21st year.
However, on an annual basis, Intel completed its revenue to semiconductor companies in 2021, which is 76.6 billion US dollars, accounting for 13% of all semiconductor revenue in that year. It is worth noting that the revenue growth of Intel in 2021 is almost the same as that in 2020, which is in sharp contrast with the following nine semiconductor companies, whose revenue growth is more than 15% year on year (YoY).
Intel's main revenue source, MPU, is not a semiconductor component that has experienced the same strong growth as other components in 2021. The overall year-on-year growth of MPU was 11% last year, which was far lower than the total growth of semiconductor of 24%.
Samsung will only lag behind Intel in 2021, with semiconductor revenue of US $75.2 billion, accounting for 12.8% of the industry's total revenue. Due to the strong growth of DRAM market (42% growth in 2021) and NAND market (23% growth in 2021), Samsung significantly narrowed the annual income gap with Intel. Samsung is a big company of these two components.
Samsung's 32.1% growth rate last year shows that not all components grew in a similar way last year. In 2020, Samsung's semiconductor revenue lagged behind Intel by $19.3B, but in 2021, it was only $1.4B behind.
In 2021, the total revenue of the semiconductor industry will be $586.8 billion, $100 billion higher than that of 2018, the next year since records began, when the industry brought $484.7 billion. Revenue in 2021 increased by 24.2% year on year, a record high since Omdia began tracking this indicator in 2002.
