IHS：全球存储芯片制造商率先复苏 2013年收入增5%

元器件交易网讯4月24日消息，据外媒报道，研究公司IHSiSuppli报告称，全球半导体行业存储芯片制造商收入率先复苏，2013年增长5%。

IHSiSuppli公司昨日发布了销量排名前25的全球半导体供应商年度收入报告，题为“2013年无线DRAM和NAND推动全球半导体增长”。

IHS称，存储芯片IC制造商美光和SK海力士去年经历蓬勃发展。然而，专注于为移动设备提供芯片的公司高通、联发科和其它半导体公司销量见长。

整体上，全球半导体行业去年的收入为3181亿美元，比2012年的3031亿美元增长了5%。

IHS技术副总裁戴尔福特称，“2013年内存IC的增长是半导体行业主要推动力。“在主要内存部门中DRAM显示最强的增长力，收入飙升32.5%。因为供应商能够实现供需平衡，价格有利可图。NAND闪存也以24.2%的速度强劲增长，这是由于智能手机和平板电脑的内存需求继续上升。”

英特尔以474亿美元的销售额再次成为世界上第一大半导体公司，尽管其x86下跌近1%。英特尔2013年以14.8%的份额的领先于半导体市场，紧随其后的是三星10.8%，半导体业务销售额为338亿美元，较2012年增长8.2%。

排名前九的半导体公司去年的市场份额仅占50%以上。

正如英特尔和三星举行自己的2012个职位在市场份额方面,高通也保持在第三点在全球半导体公司。移动设备和其他设备的应用程序处理器和通信芯片的供应商收入从2012年的132亿美元增长30.6%达到172亿美元。

联发科增长比例更大。从2012年的排名18位调至14位。2013年收入同比增加36.1%到45.7亿美元。福特指出，令人印象最深刻的是由内存供应商带动的增长。

美光，去年一跃成为全球第四大半导体公司，收入从2012年的68亿美元增至141亿美元，增涨了108.5%，部分原因是它收购了尔必达。

SK海力士仅此于美光，排名第五。其收入从2012年的90亿美元增长至128亿美元，增幅达42.8%。

另有一些著名的半导体公司2013年有所下降。AMD仍保持12位，但收入降2.8%，索尼半导体收入降了27%。

Makers of memory chips spearheaded a resurgence in worldwide semiconductor revenue, which rose 5 percent year-over-year in 2013, according to IHS.

The research firm, formerly IHS iSuppli, on Wednesday released its annual semiconductor revenue report tracking sales for the top 25 global semiconductor suppliers, titled "DRAM and NAND in Wireless Propel Global Semiconductor Growth in 2013."

Makers of memory integrated circuits (ICs) like Micron and SK Hynix enjoyed booming years in 2013, according to IHS, while Qualcomm, MediaTek, and other semiconductor firms focused on supplying chips for mobile devices also saw impressive sales growth.

As a whole, the global semiconductor industry had revenues of $318.1 billion last year, up 5 percent from $303.1 billion in 2012.

"Memory ICs were the key drivers of growth in the semiconductor industry in 2013," Dale Ford, vice president at IHS Technology, said in a statement. "Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) showed the strongest expansion among major memory segments, with revenue surging by 32.5 percent as suppliers were able to achieve a balance between supply and demand that yielded lucrative pricing for parts. NAND flash also posted a strong year—at 24.2 percent growth—as demand for the memory from smartphones and tablets continued to rise."

Intel again came in as the No. 1 semiconductor company in the world with $47.4 billion in sales for 2013, though that was down nearly 1 percent from the $47.4 billion the x86 giant reported the previous year. Intel's leading share of the 2013 semiconductor market was 14.8 percent, followed by Samsung's 10.8 percent after its semiconductor businesses posted sales of $33.8 billion, up 8.2 percent from 2012.

Together, the top nine semiconductor firms in the world accounted for just more than 50 percent of the total market last year, , according to IHS.

Just as Intel and Samsung held on to their 2012 positions in terms of market share, so did Qualcomm remain in the third spot among global semiconductor companies. The supplier of application processors and communications chips for mobile devices and other equipment grew its revenue to $17.2 billion, up a healthy 30.6 percent from $13.2 billion in 2012.

MediaTek, another supplier of mobile chipsets, enjoyed an even bigger sales bump in terms of percentage growth. The Taiwanese firm went from being the 18th largest semiconductor firm in 2012 to 14th in the world, on the strength of increasing its revenue 36.1 percent year-over-year to $4.57 billion in 2013.

As Ford noted, some of the most impressive gains in 2013 were made by memory suppliers.

Micron, for example, became the 4th largest semiconductor company last year after finishing 10th in 2012. Part of Micron's big year-over-year revenue increase—up from 2012's $6.8 billion to $14.1 billion—was the result of the company's acquisition of Elpida Memory, but a 108.5 percent revenue rise was impressive no matter how it was achieved.[!--empirenews.page--]

SK Hynix finished the year just behind Micron in the No. 5 spot after watching its own sales grow 42.8 percent from $9.0 billion in 2012 to $12.8 billion last year, IHS reported.

Some other notable names in the semiconductor industry took a tumble in 2013. Advanced Micro Devices retained its 12th-place spot in the market but saw sales decrease 2.8 percent compared with 2012, while Sony's semiconductor revenue fell 27.0 percent after the Japanese consumer electronics giant.
