Semiconductor sales up 26% in 2021, according to Gartner
According to Gartner’s final tally, global semiconductor revenue reached $595 billion in 2021. This is 26.3% more than in 2020.
“Events related to the current chip shortages continue to affect original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) around the world, but the increase in 5G smartphones and a combination of strong demand and rising logistics and raw material prices have led to an increase in the average selling prices (ASP) of semiconductor products, which contributed to a significant increase in revenue in 2021,” said Andrew Norwood, vice president of research at Gartner.
For the first time since 2018, Samsung Electronics is back in first place among manufacturers, pushing Intel to second. However, the difference in the shares of the two industry giants is small – 12.3% versus 12.2%. More importantly, Samsung Electronics’ revenue increased by 28.0% compared to 2020, while Intel’s revenue decreased by 0.3%.
In third place is SK Hynix. It was able to increase sales by 40.6%, bringing its market share to 6.1%. Followed by Micron Technology, which increased sales by 31.4%. Its share at the end of the quarter is 4.8%. Qualcomm increased sales by 53.4%, which was enough to take 4.6% of the market, which corresponds to the fifth place in the ranking.
Sixth place is occupied by Broadcom. This company increased sales by 19.3% and occupied 3.2% of the market. It is followed by MediaTek. She managed to increase sales by 60.2% and take 3.0% of the market. In seventh place is Texas Instruments, which increased sales by 26.8%. The share of Texas Instruments is 2.9%. The top ten also includes Nvidia and AMD. Nvidia, which increased sales by 58.0%, occupies 2.8% of the market. The greatest growth – 68.6% – was shown by AMD, which occupies 2.7% of the market.
Analysts note that the largest growth was recorded in the segment of semiconductor products for automotive electronics. It is equal to 34.9%. If we single out the largest segment, 27.9% of sales fall on DRAM.

Bosch needs to cut up to 1,500 jobs at its two German plants by 2025 to “adapt workforce levels to changing demand and technology in the automotive sector,” the company said.
The workforce cuts were first reported by weekly trade newspaper Automobilwoche, a sister publication of Automotive News Europe. “Like other companies, we have to adapt,” a Bosch spokesman said in emailed comments. “We see a need to reduce our workforce by 1,500 people in the areas of development, administration and sales at the Feuerbach and Schwieberdingen plants by the end of 2025.”
Bosch said it was trying to achieve this through employee transfers, early retirement or voluntary agreements, adding that the group was in talks with the works council over specific details.
“We are faced with significantly more serious problems than expected at the beginning of the year. Even if we want to maintain employment levels as best as possible with new products and a wide range of training measures, we will have to adapt this to the real situation,” said a Bosch spokesman.
Bosch ranks first on the list of leading global suppliers with annual auto parts sales of $50.46 billion in 2022.

The remains of a “high-speed” comet can cause a new meteor shower: astronomers expect it tomorrow
The remnants of near-Earth comet 46P/Wirtanen (46P/Wirtanen) may enter the Earth’s atmosphere, causing a new meteor shower called the Lambda-Sculptorids on Tuesday, December 12, 2023.
A team of scientists led by an astronomer at the Paris Observatory wanted to answer the question of why the meteor shower previously created by the remnants of this comet was not seen on Earth. They found out that such an event should happen very soon – on Tuesday, December 12, 2023.
Scientists said:
Results show a possible impact forecast for December 12, 2023, between 8:00 and 12:30 UTC [11:00 и 15:30 по Москве]. The level of activity of the shower is highly uncertain due to the lack of data on past starfalls. Overall, the best observations for the forecast day will be in Eastern Australia, New Zealand and Oceania.
The progenitor of the potential new meteor shower is comet 46P/Wirtanen, which was discovered in 1948 and orbits the Sun every 5.4 years, much faster than many other known comets.
