According to the latest report released by the U.S. market research firm ,HSiSuppli, at least from the current Qualcomm's semiconductor business in 2012, maintained a strong growth momentum, and will continue in the future. In this year's top 20 vendors，Qualcomm ranked in the first with 27.2%. Qualcomm's strong performance shocked the industry when other manufacturers are trying to get rid of the dilemma, Dell Ford, IHSiSuppli senior director, even likened to dry desert oasis. Panasonic is only to rank within top 20 in 2011,but out in 2012, a year-on-year decline of 13%. Sony, NXP, NVIDIA enterprises achieved a certain amount of growth, but not enough to hide the reality of the entire semiconductor industry tends to be weak. IHSiSuppli report also mentioned that many manufacturers in 2012 have double-digit revenue decline, including Texas Instruments, Toshiba and AMD. Market share, Intel and Samsung are still far ahead of other manufacturers, the top two market share are 15.7% and 10.1%, respectively. Qualcomm achieved substantial growth, but the market share is still only 4.3%. In short, in addition to Intel, Samsung and Qualcomm, the 2012 is really not a good year. A number of chip manufacturers are involved in a "war". IHSisuppli ever released in early 2012, the report predicts that the semiconductor market will grow by 3.3% this year. However, with the economic downturn continued, IHSisuppli also will be gradually lowered expectations. It seems the global semiconductor market in 2012 is destined to spend in a cold.
