2,6% increase for semiconductor revenues

Worldwide semiconductor revenue totalled $343,5-billion in 2016, a 2,6% increase from 2015 revenue of $334,9-billion, according to final results by Gartner.

The top 25 semiconductor vendors’ combined revenue increased 10.5 per cent, a significantly better performance than the overall industry’s growth; however, most of this growth resulted from merger and acquisition (M&A) activity.

“The semiconductor industry rebounded in 2016, with a weak start to the year, characterized by inventory correction, giving way to strengthening demand and an improving pricing environment in the second half,” says James Hines, research director at Gartner. “Worldwide semiconductor revenue growth was supported by increasing production in many electronic equipment segments, improving NAND flash memory pricing and relatively benign currency movements.”

Intel retained its number one position as the largest semiconductor manufacturer and grew its semiconductor revenue 4,6% in 2016. Samsung Electronics continued to maintain the number two spot with 11,7% market share.

Consolidation continued to play a major role in the market share rankings, with several large companies growing through acquisitions. Merger and acquisition activity among the major vendors in 2016 included Avago Technologies’ acquisition of Broadcom, On Semiconductor’s acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor, and Western Digital’s acquisition of SanDisk. The largest mover in the top 25 was Broadcom, which moved up 12 places in the market share ranking.

“The combined revenue of the top 25 semiconductor vendors increased by 10,5% during 2016 and accounted for a 74,9% share, outperforming the rest of the market, which saw a 15,6% revenue decline,” says Hines.

“However, these results are skewed by the large amount of M&A activity during 2015 and 2016. If we adjust for this M&A activity by adding the revenue of each acquired company to the revenue of the acquirer for both 2015 and 2016 where necessary, then the top 25 vendors would have experienced a 1,9% revenue increase, and the rest of the market would have increased by 4,6%.”
