Tech News: Top 15 Semiconductor Companies Ranked—Intel Drops to Fourth Place

According to the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), the global semiconductor market reached an impressive $149.9 billion in the second quarter of 2024. This represents a 6.5% increase from the first quarter of 2024 and a substantial 18.3% year-over-year growth compared to the same period last year. WSTS has also revised its forecast for the first quarter of 2024, now predicting a 17.8% increase over the previous year, up from the earlier estimate of 15.3%.

The revenue growth across major semiconductor companies?was notably strong in Q2 2024. Among the top fifteen companies, only two— 联发科技 and 意法半导体 —experienced a decline in revenue during this period. The most significant growth was observed in the memory segment, with SK hynix and KIOXIA Group both seeing increases of over 30%. Samsung Semiconductor followed with a 23% increase, and 美光科技 saw a 17% rise. Overall, the weighted average growth rate for the top fifteen companies in Q2 2024 was 8%, with memory companies rising by 22% and non-memory companies by 3%.

英伟达 continues to lead the semiconductor industry with forecasted revenues of $28 billion for Q2 2024, maintaining its position as the largest semiconductor company. @Samsung holds the second spot with $20.7 billion in revenue. 博通 , which has yet to release its Q2 2024 results, is estimated to report $13 billion in revenue, surpassing Intel's anticipated $12.8 billion. Historically, 英特尔 has been a leader in the semiconductor market, but it has slipped to fourth place this year.

Looking ahead to Q3 2024, the revenue outlook remains positive, with strong growth projections. AMD expects a 15% revenue increase, driven by robust growth in data centers and client computing. Micron anticipates continued momentum in the memory sector with a 12% growth forecast, as demand exceeds supply. Although Samsung Semiconductor and SK Hynix have not provided specific revenue forecasts, both anticipate continued strong demand for server AI applications.

A few companies, including Intel, MediaTek, and STMicroelectronics, project more modest revenue growth of about 1% for Q3 2024. Intel attributes its subdued outlook to inventory surplus. Other companies offering revenue guidance expect growth rates between 4% and 8%. STMicroelectronics and 恩智浦半导体 foresee improvements in the automotive sector, while inventory issues persist in the industrial sector. 德州仪器 expects strong performance in personal electronics. The weighted average revenue growth rate for nine non-memory companies providing guidance is projected to be 5% for Q3 2024.

The substantial growth observed in the first half of 2024, up 18% compared to the first half of 2023, sets a strong foundation for continued robust growth throughout the remainder of the year.
