The latest research report from overseas consultancy ICInsights pointed out that in 2017, the sales volume of the world’s eight largest wafer vendors totaled USD 55.103 billion, which was a year-on-year increase of 9%, which was slower than the 15% growth rate in 2016. The eight vendors’ market share in 2017 reached 88%, which is the same as 2016.
Specifically, the top eight global wafer manufacturers are: TSMC, Global Wafer, UMC, Samsung, SMIC, Powerchip, Hua Hong Group, and Towerjazz.
The first TSMC in 2017 achieved sales of 32.163 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 9% year-on-year, and a gap of 26.1 billion U.S. dollars from the second U.S. global manufacturer. Among the top eight companies, Samsung is the only IDM vendor (integrated component manufacturer). In 2017, wafer manufacturing business sales reached US$4.6 billion, ranking fourth.
Chinese domestic manufacturers also achieved good results in the wafer market last year. Two companies, SMIC and Hua Hong Group, were on the list. SMIC’s sales in 2017 were US$3.101 billion, ranking fifth in the ranking; Hua Hong Group’s sales in 2017 were US$1.395 billion (including Hua Hong Semiconductor and Shanghai Huali), ranking seventh. Although the year-on-year growth of Hua Hong Group's sales in 2017 fell from 22% to 18%, the growth rate among the eight vendors is still the highest.
SMIC stated that the industrial market environment has changed and the growth of smart phones has slowed down. The main driving force for growth has shifted to high-performance computing products based on advanced manufacturing processes. The competition in mature manufacturing processes has become increasingly fierce, and the price pressure is far greater than expected. In addition, in 2018, TSMC will enter the 7-nanometer era; SMIC will accelerate its catch-up.
At present, the major IDM companies and foundry companies have successfully mass-produced more than 60 nanometers of mature process, only 45 companies in the 45/40 nanometer process successfully mass production. The advanced processes below 20nm are only available for volume production from Samsung, Intel, TSMC, UMC, Greenfield, and SMIC. Advanced process technology below 10nm is only controlled by Intel, Samsung, and TSMC.
