Beijing time on May 4 news ,, ICInsights updated version will be released later in 2015 IC industry trend analysis report McCleanReport, content in addition to 2014's top ten global top five semiconductor and IC manufacturers sales charts, including all types of IC products The sales ranking; According to the report, in 2014 the world's top 10 semiconductor suppliers, only two are Japanese companies, including Toshiba (Toshiba) and Renesas (Renesas), but with NXP and Freescale will merge later this year , Toshiba will out outside the top ten. Market research institutions forecast ICInsights, NXP Semiconductors (NXP) and Freescale Semiconductor (Freescale) after the merger the new company will be squeezed into the 2015 world's top ten semiconductor suppliers (depending on sales) charts; in this ranking I'm afraid the only one left standings Japanese manufacturers. For those long-term observation of the semiconductor industry, this means a significant change ── Japan had to dominate the global IC market, now the situation has deteriorated. As it can be seen from the table, in the 1990s, the Japanese semiconductor manufacturers had occupied six seats in the world's top 10 list, so that other countries catch up; but by 1995, the number of Japanese semiconductor manufacturers in the rankings to become four, followed by three in 2006 into 2000, until 2014 only two.
