According to IC Insights, in 2021, the top 50 semiconductor suppliers, not including the pure-play foundries, represented 89% of the total USD614.6B worldwide semiconductor market, up eight points from the 81% share the top 50 companies held in 2010. The top 5, top 10, and top 25 companies’ share of the 2021 worldwide semiconductor market increased 8, 9, and 11 percentage points, respectively, as compared to 2010. With additional mergers and acquisitions expected over the next few years, IC Insights believes that the consolidation could raise the shares of the top suppliers to even loftier levels. In 2021, five of the top 10 semiconductor suppliers were fabless companies, two more than in 2019. In 2008 there was only one fabless company in the ranking (i.e., Qualcomm) and in 2000, there were none. All of the top 10 companies had sales of at least USD16.4B in 2021. (CN Beta, IC Insights)
