In 2018, Q1 Global Semiconductor Sales Amounted To Us $115 Billion 800 Million, And The Wireless Communication Market Declined Sharply.

In the first quarter of 2018, the global semiconductor industry achieved sales of US $115 billion 800 million. Even if the total revenue of the semiconductor industry fell a bit in the quarter, the NAND market still created the second highest quarterly revenue in history, with the strongest demand from enterprises and the consumer solid state disk (SSD) market.

With the increase in demand for related components in the enterprise and storage market, the growth rate of storage class was 1.7% in the first quarter of 2018, reaching US $39 billion 700 million. In fact, strong demand for Server DRAM will continue to drive the market. However, you can also see a slight decline in NAND gains in the quarter, and Craig Stice, senior director of memory and storage in IHS Marki, said that even if revenue fell in the first quarter, the NAND market still hit a record second high quarterly revenue.

Because of the importance of memory and storage, Samsung Electronics, by its dominant position in the field, won the first quarter of 2018 in the first quarter of the semiconductor industry, taking 16.1%, followed by Intel (Intel) with 13.6%, and SK (SK Hynix) to take 7%. In the quarter, the city was quite stable, and the first three companies had no change, but compared with the same period in 2017, Samsung replaced Intel as the leading semiconductor company.

IHS Markit said that in the first quarter of 2018, the total revenue of the global semiconductor market dropped by 3.4% to 115 billion 800 million dollars. Among them, the decline of wireless communications market revenue is an important reason. In the wireless communications market, enterprises such as Qualcomm (Qualcomm), Skyworks Solutions (Oorvo) and Oorvo account for more than 10% of their revenues. In addition, such as TI (TI), Maxim Integrated (Maxim Integrated), A Morimi semiconductor (ON Semiconductor) and other companies focusing on industry and auto industry, there are more than 10% growth in the first quarter of 2018.
