AMD had a particularly rough 1Q16 and saw its sales drop 19% year-over-year to $832 million, which was about half the $1,589 million in sales the company logged just over two years ago in 4Q13. This list of companies and startups in Europe in the semiconductor space provides data on their funding history, investment activities, and acquisition trends. As shown in the listing, the foundries and fabless companies are identified. Texas Instruments started as an oil and gas company in 1930, then focused on defense systems electronics in the 1940s. The company was created by the combination of Advanced Semiconductor Engineering Inc. and Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd.Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is one of the world's largest dedicated independent pure-play semiconductor foundries. The company serves customers through its network of facilities in Asia, Europe, and North America.
Charts can be found on various organization profiles and on Hubs pages, based on data availability.Organizations in this hub have their headquarters located in European Union (EU), Europe; notable events and people located in European Union (EU) are also included.This list of companies and startups in European Union (EU) in the semiconductor space provides data on their funding history, investment activities, and acquisition trends. The top semiconductor companies in the world are Intel, Samsung, TSMC, SK Hynix, and Micron. Apple’s custom processors—such as the 64-bit A9 used in iPhone 6s and 6s Plus handsets introduced in September 2015 and the new iPhone 6SE launched in March 2016—are made by pure-play foundry TSMC and IDM foundry Samsung.Intel remained firmly in control of the number one spot in 1Q16. Stay up-to-date with the global environmental industry. Its products are used in computers, consumer electronics, automobiles, communications, and servers.
In 1993, Intel was the number 1 ranked supplier with a 9.2% share of the worldwide semiconductor market (Figure 1, which does not include the pure-play foundries). Samsung’s big increase in sales this year has been primarily driven by an amazing rise in DRAM and NAND flash average selling prices.Memory giants SK Hynix and Micron are expected to make the biggest moves in the top-10 ranking in 2017 as compared to the 2016 ranking. The same method was used to calculate the 1Q15 sales for Broadcom Ltd. (Avago/Broadcom), NXP (NXP/Freescale), and GlobalFoundries (GlobalFoundries/IBM).In total, the top-20 semiconductor companies’ sales declined by 6% in 1Q16/1Q15, one point less than the total worldwide semiconductor industry decline of 7%. Although AMD did not have a good 1Q16, Japan-based Sharp, the only company that fell from the top-20 ranking, faired even worse with its 1Q16/1Q15 sales plunging by 30%!Excluding foundries, there is expected to be one new entrant into the top-10 ranking in 2017—U.S.-headquartered Nvidia, which is forecast to register a 44% increase in sales this year. Insights about top trending companies, startups, investments and M&A activities, notable investors of these companies, their management team, and recent news are also included. In fact, it increased its lead over Samsung’s semiconductor sales from 29% in 1Q15 to 40% in 1Q16.
