Business Big changes in top 20

Business Big changes in top 20

2013/08/05

Hynix, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and TSMC each registered >20% year-over-year growth in the first half of the year, says IC Insights.

Hynix moved up three places in the top 20 ranking and into the top 5; Broadcom, edged into the top 10; Elpida, which was officially purchased by Micron on July 31, 2013, shot up seven places to 17th place; and MediaTek, jumped up four positions to make it into the top 20 (now ranked 18th).

In contrast, Fujitsu dropped five places and fell out of the top 20 ranking, going from being ranked 17th in 2012 to 22nd in 1H13.

Nvidia fell out of the top 20 ranking going from being ranked 18th in 2012 to 21st in 1H13, even though the company posted a 2% increase in year-over-year sales.

Sony fell to 16th place in 1H13 from the 12th position in 2012.

Micron’s acquisition of Elpida was completed on July 31, 2013.  It is interesting to note that if Micron and Elpida’s 1H13 sales were combined, the “new” company would have had $6,699 million in total sales in 1H13 and would have been ranked as the fifth-largest semiconductor supplier worldwide.

In total, the top 20 semiconductor companies’ sales increased by 4% in 1H13 as compared to 1H12, one point better than the total 1H13/1H12 worldwide semiconductor market increase of 3%.  It took semiconductor sales of just over $1.9 billion in 1H13 to make the top-20 ranking.

There was a 64-percentage-point range of growth rates among the worldwide top 20 semiconductor suppliers in 1H13 (from +38% for Hynix to -26% for Sony).

The continued success of the fabless/foundry business model is evident when examining the top 20 semiconductor suppliers ranked by growth rate.  As shown, the top 10 performers included three fabless companies (Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Broadcom) and three pure-play foundries (TSMC, GlobalFoundries, and UMC).

Two of the three top-20 ranked companies that registered a double-digit sales decline in 1H13 were headquartered in Japan (Renesas and Sony).

Japan-based Fujitsu also registered a double-digit decline (-19%) in 1H13 to drop out of the top 20 ranking.

However, it should be noted that the conversion of Japanese company semiconductor sales from yen to U.S. dollars, at 95.47 yen per dollar in 1H13 versus 79.70 yen per dollar in 1H12, had a significant impact on the sales figures for the Japanese companies.  Still, Sony would have logged a double-digit (12%) semiconductor sales decline even if its sales results were not converted to U.S. dollars while Renesas would have posted a 2% increase in semiconductor sales if the numbers were expressed in yen.

Unfortunately for AMD, it cannot attribute its extremely poor 1H13 sales performance (-25%) to currency conversion issues.  However, the company’s 3Q13/2Q13 guidance is for a 22% surge in sales, a significant rebound but one that still may not prevent the company from posting another full-year decline in sales in 2013 (AMD registered a steep 17% sales decline in 2012).
