The total market value of the world's 30 semiconductor giants increased by 49.22%

In 2020, even as much of the world grappled with soaring unemployment and plummeting economic growth, the market capitalization of the world's top semiconductor companies grew significantly.

The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index of U.S. stocks increased from 1887.91 points at the beginning of the year to 2795.50 points at the end of the year, an increase of 945.87 points, or 51.14%.

The total market value of the 30 constituent stocks increased from US$1,658.926 billion to US$2,475.374 billion, an increase of US$816.447 billion, or 49.22%.

Among them, there are four companies whose stock prices have increased by more than 100%, namely, Cree Technology, Nvidia, Core Source Systems and AMD. Among the 30 companies, only Intel's market value has fallen, with a drop of 20.48%. It is understood that Intel's 7nm chip manufacturing technology has repeatedly suffered setbacks in product research and development, so its stock price has also plummeted.

The top five companies by market capitalization are TSMC, Nvidia, ASML, Intel, and Broadcom. At the beginning of the year, the top five were TSMC, Intel, Nvidia, Broadcom, and ASML. (Proofread by Nuo Li)
