TI tops industrial semiconductor market and ST jumps to 2nd position
IHS says the Top 10 vendors of semiconductor devices for industrial market accounted for revenue amounting to $12.19 billion, or 40.4 percent of the overall industrial electronics semiconductor space valued at $30.15 billion. IHS ranks Texas Instruments at the top, which managed to stay on top despite deteriorated revenue. The revenue also fell for the remaining top 8. Only two entities within the circle enjoyed revenue increases, as the markets they supplied were growth areas within the broader industry, according to IHS.
“The industrial electronics semiconductor industry as a whole contracted 5.4 percent in 2012 following a slowdown in worldwide markets where the chips are used, such as in security, test and measurement, motor drives, metering, medical electronics and renewable energies,” said Jacobo Carrasco-Heres, analyst for industrial electronics at IHS. “The anemic performance of these segments, in turn, dragged down the suppliers making the chips, resulting in 2012 revenue losses among the Top 8 that ranged from 0.7 percent to 20.4 percent.” Further details of analysis shared by IHS: Texas Instruments remained at the pinnacle with $2.09 billion in revenue, even though it was down 6.6 percent for the year. TI did well in medical electronics and ...
