IC Insights has announced that the world's top half of the semiconductor industry in the first half of the ranking, China Taiwan wafer foundry leader TSMC ranked third, 23 IC Insights re-announced 2016 pure wafer foundry sales estimates, TSMC is still estimated Sit tight and rush to throw opponents.

       IC Insights announced today that Gartner, the world's semiconductor trade statistics organization (WSTS) and other institutions have lowered the 2016 semiconductor output forecast, from growth to single-digit decline, IC insights Still optimistic about this year's pure wafer foundry sales can grow 9%, higher than last year's 6%, also better than the agency this year, the overall IC market decline expected 2% performance.

       The top ten manufacturers to occupy the entire pure wafer foundry market 95% of the revenue, IC Insights is estimated that this year's TSMC, Golfer Fidelity, UMC, SMIC and other four manufacturers will include pure wafer foundry market 84% of the profits, of which 58% is estimated by the TSMC package, accounting for slightly less than 1% in 2015, but the revenue is expected from 2015 to 1.5 billion US dollars, 2016 and then grow to 21 billion US dollars.

       The other three major manufacturers Ge Luofang, UMC, SMIC total revenue accounted for about 26%, unchanged from last year. But also see the gap, the SMIC 2015 revenue growth of 14%, 2016 annual revenue growth will reach 27%, Grosvenor nearly two years found that there are double-chip foundry revenue Growth, UGC brother status is not only replaced by Ge Luo Fang De, in recent years, revenue were low single-digit growth performance unsatisfactory.

        However, the strongest growth is probably Israel TowerJazz (formerly Tower Semiconductor) IC Insights estimated its revenue this year will be able to grow 30% to $ 1.245 billion beyond China Taiwan wafer foundry power crystal, among the world's fifth largest The

        Even if China's mainland manufacturers to add up to 8.2%, but, IC Insights analysis, the next five years in the Chinese government and large funds strong pouring in 2020, China's foundry manufacturers revenue will be developed.

        Intel has recently announced an agreement with ARM to win over LG, Spreadtrum and other customers to produce ARM architecture smart phone chip, is considered to increase the intensity of the foundry market. And Samsung has also recently come out to change the strategy, do not take the mass production model, change the small batch of orders "open wafer foundry model" to win the potential of small customers, and more in line with the future trend of things networking.
