Due to the impact of the deteriorating memory market, global semiconductor revenue fell sharply last year (2019). Memory accounts for more than 80% of Samsung Electronics' semiconductor business, which also dragged down Samsung Electronics' semiconductor revenue last year, handing over the leading position it had held for two consecutive years (2017-2018) to Intel.
According to reports by Nikkei and Kyodo News, international research and consulting firm Gartner released a survey report on the 14th, pointing out that global semiconductor revenue fell by about 10% year-on-year (down 11.9%) to US$418.3 billion last year, among which memory revenue fell sharply by 31.5% due to the deteriorating market conditions.
In terms of revenue by manufacturer, Samsung Electronics, which had been the revenue leader in 2017-2018, was hit by the deteriorating memory market, which caused its semiconductor business revenue to drop 29.1% to US$52.2 billion. Its revenue was surpassed by Intel and fell to second place.
Intel benefited from the surge in demand for CPUs used in data centers for artificial intelligence (AI) computing in the second half of 2019. Last year, its semiconductor revenue only fell 0.7% to $65.7 billion, making it the leader for the first time in three years.
Intel controls more than 90% of the market share in the data center CPU market.
The manufacturers ranked 3rd to 10th in terms of revenue are SK Hynix, Micron, Broadcom, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics NV, Kioxia (formerly Toshiba Memory) and NXP Semiconductors NV.
The Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA) issued a press release on December 3, 2019, stating that according to the latest forecast report released by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics Association (WSTS), the rapid deterioration of the semiconductor market due to the friction between the United States and China will continue until 2019. Therefore, the global semiconductor market size (sales) in 2019 has been revised down from the previous (June 2019) estimate of US$412.086 billion (a year-on-year decrease of 12.1%) to US$408.988 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 12.8%, which will be the largest decrease since 2001 (a year-on-year decrease of 32.0%) after the collapse of the IT bubble.
WSTS estimates that memory sales will drop 33.0% to US$105.907 billion in 2019, marking the first contraction in three years.
