According to the latest report from Semicast Research, the global industrial semiconductor market size was US$42.2 billion in 2016, an increase of 3.7% from US$40.7 billion in 2015. The main growth momentum still relies on products such as traditional analog ICs, optoelectronic components, and power components.
Industrial semiconductors generally refer to the various semiconductor products required to supply various equipment, applications and devices in the industrial sector. Therefore, the industrial semiconductor market can be said to be a collection of different markets. According to Semicast's definition, the industrial sector includes traditional industrial fields such as factory automation, motor drives, lighting, building automation, test and measurement, power and energy, as well as areas such as medical electronics and industrial transportation, but does not include aerospace and defense Industrial and other parts.
Due to its complex composition, the market currently does not have a dominant single or a few semiconductor suppliers. In 2016, the combined market share of the top ten players in the global industrial semiconductor market only reached 40.9%.
Among them, the ranking of the top four companies is the same as that of 2015. They are Texas Instruments (TI), accounting for 7.9%, Infineon (6.6%), Intel (Intel) 5.2%, and STMicroelectronics (STMicroelectronics). ) 5.1%. As for Renesas, which ranked fifth in 2015, its ranking fell to tenth in 2016, and its market share dropped from 3.8% in 2015 to 1.8% in 2016. Analysts at
Semicast said that the industry market share rankings demonstrate that the professionalism of each industry's products is an important factor in achieving success in the industrial semiconductor market. For example, Texas Instruments is the market leader in analog ICs, Infineon is the leader in power equipment, Intel is the market leader in microprocessors, and Nichia is the leader in the LED field.
Semicast said that the success of Texas Instruments, Infineon and Nichia in the industrial semiconductor market is not based on Internet of Things (IoT) products, but focusing on the "Real World" market. On demand.
Semicast lists areas such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) as "Machine World" fields. The main functions of products in this field are authentication, control, processing, storage and communication. The product categories corresponding to these functions are logic ICs, memories, microcontrollers, digital signal processing (DSP), and microprocessors.
"Real World" products are primarily capable of measuring, moving, sensing and indicating. The corresponding products are analog ICs, optoelectronic components, power and discrete components, and sensors.
Semicast stated that the "real world" semiconductor market accounted for approximately 2/3 of the overall industrial semiconductor market in 2016. It is estimated that from now to 2021, the "real world" industrial semiconductor market size will grow at an average annual rate of 8% every year. The average annual growth rate of the "Machine World" market is only 5%.
This means that although the development of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence has driven the growth of many industries, the growth of the industrial sector still relies on products such as analog ICs, optoelectronic components, and power components.
Today is the 1297th issue of "Semiconductor Industry Observation" shared with you. Welcome to pay attention.
