Samsung heading to become no. 1 chip vendor amid investing hugely in giga semiconductor and OLED fabs
Samsung has started volume production and shipping of 64 layer 3-D V-NAND with storage capacity of 256 Gb from its US$ 13.5 billion Giga-fab at Pyeongtaek, South Korea. Groundbreaking for this fab was done in May 2015.
On long term basis, Samsung is growing faster and more consistently than the other top-10 leading semiconductor vendors in the world, now ranked two just behind Intel. But lot of forecasts suggests Samsung will soon overtake Intel to become world's top-ranked semiconductor chip vendor. Samsung sells chips, consumes chips and also provides foundry services. Most of the time its competitors in smart phone and other product areas such as Apple are its foundry and chip customers. In 2016 and 2017, Samsung also benefitted from increased sales of memory chips such as the DRAM and NAND Flash memory. Samsung share in the mobile DRAM market exceeds 60%, far above its competitors. And in the NAND Flash memory market, Samsung share is around 30 to 40% and it's revenues is growing in double-digit. Samsung having stellar performance in the display market too, where its revenues are increasing in double-digit rate y-o-y. Samsung's share in the mobile phone display market is estimated around 27% Targeting the emerging market opportunities in t...
