Market analyst Gartner Inc. has produced the ranking of the top 25 semiconductor manufacturers in the world and in mainland China by 2022 revenues.
This shows that global semiconductor revenue was US$599.1 billion in 2022, an increase of just 0.2 percent compared with 2021. This numbers differ from those given out by Gartner in January 2021 (see Global chip market flat in 2022, Intel slumped).
The total revenue of the top 25 semiconductor manufacturers increased by 1.9 percent on an annual basis while the total revenue of the remainder decreased by 5.1 percent. The top 25 vendors accounted for 77.2 percent of revenues. Memory, which accounted for 23.9 percent of the chip market, declined 13.7 percent, while non-memory revenue increased 5.6 percent.
The US has 14 companies in the top 25, South Korea two, Taiwan, Europe and Japan three each. There is no manufacturer from mainland China. The list includes Apple, although its fabless chip sales revenue is captive but does not include foundry TSMC, which manufactures for Apple, Qualcomm and many others. This is to exclude double counting of chip sales.
Gartner has also charted the revenue growth and contraction of the top 25. Analog Devices and AMD.
The decline in the memory market in 2022 brought down the sales of SK Hynix, Micron, Western Digital and Samsung.
The top five Chinese chip companies are: OmniVision, Wingtech Technology, Yangtze Memory Technologies, UniSoC Technologies and GigaDevice Semiconductor. Gartner’s China ranking does not include Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC) for the same reason TSMC has been excluded in the global ranking.
In China the total revenue of semiconductor companies in 2022 fell 0.5 percent from the previous year to reach US$45.8 billion. The global market share will fall from 7.7 percent in 2021 to 7.6 percent in 2022.
