International research and consultancy firm Gartner final statistics show that in 2014 the total amount of global semiconductor revenue of $ 3,403 million, compared with 3,154 one hundred million US dollars in 2013 increased by 7.9%. Top 25 largest semiconductor manufacturers in total revenue growth of 11.7%, higher than the industry's overall growth rate. Top 25 largest semiconductor factory revenue accounted for 72.4% of the overall market, also higher than the 69.9% in 2013. Andrew Norwood, vice president of Gartner Research, said: "2014 various types of components were highly positive growth, unlike in 2013, the Application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), discrete components (discrete) and micro-components (microcomponent) showed a decline of memory. the market for the second consecutive year to become the best performing sector, an increase of 16.6%, showing the rest of the field to grow only 4.9%. Overall, the best performance with DRAM makers, mainly attributable to the DRAM market boom is excellent, revenue rose 32 % to $ 46.1 billion, and even beyond in 1995 hit a record high $ 41.8 billion. " After two consecutive years of revenue decline, Intel (Intel) and finally because of personal computer (PC) production recovery and re-see the growth, the annual increase in revenue of 7.7%; the company's market share was 15.4%, the first 23 years of the world's first reelection However, a slight decline over the previous year. 2014 M & A activity among major semiconductor manufacturers are more warm than the previous year, acquisitions have been part of the public will have to wait until 2015 to complete the transaction. The most notable acquisitions include Avago Technologies (Avago) bought LSI Logic (LSI), the first time among the world's 25 largest semiconductor manufacturers. Morningstar Semiconductor (MStar Semiconductor) and finally after a long run-incorporated MediaTek (MediaTek), ON (ON Semicondcutor) then buy Aptina Imaging. According to this wave has been finalized after the merger tide adjusted data, the world's 25 largest semiconductor factories annual revenue growth of 9.1%.
