A new report released today by the market research firm Gartner, in 2012, Samsung and Apple occupy a dominant position in the global semiconductor market, but Samsung has leapfrogged Apple to become the world's largest semiconductor customer in 2012. The report said in 2012 Samsung and Apple's semiconductor consumption expenditures reached $ 45.3 billion, an increase of $ 7.9 billion over the previous year, accounting for 15% of the total consumption of the global semiconductor market. Samsung Semiconductor, spending $ 23.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 28.9% from $ 18.6 billion in the previous year; Apple's semiconductor spending last year was $ 21.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of 13.6% from $ 18.8 billion in the previous year. The Gartner report also showed that the global semiconductor market as a whole fell by 3% in 2012. Gartner analyst ,Masatsune Yamaji said: "Although Samsung and Apple become more and more powerful, but performance of other leading electronics manufacturers is not so good: in 2012, 10 companies, six semiconductor demand reduction In addition with the downturn in the macroeconomic situation, the consumer demand rapid reduction also contributed to the decline in 2012 semiconductor demand factors. " The analyst also said that the PC market is still the largest area of chip demand, but sales of desktop and mobile PC are not good, because the consumer's interest shifted to smartphones and tablet PCs and other mobile computing devices. As smart phones and tablet PCs are much smaller than the PC semiconductor demand, thus this shift led to a sharp drop in demand for semiconductors in 2012.
