Samsung snatched the crown from Intel in global semiconductor market in 2021
According to the latest report by Counterpoint Research, the semiconductor industry underwent significant structural changes in 2021 after the announcement of unit lists by both China and the US. The overall 2021 semiconductor revenue ranking is also different than the previous year.
As per the report, Samsung ranked first over Intel due to its solid growth momentum in both the Logic IC and memory areas. Memory vendors led the industry, followed by SK Hynix and Micron in third and fourth place, followed by IC design vendors including Qualcomm and NVIDIA.
In 2021, many top semiconductor companies have reiterated the material changes taking place in the industry, such as semi-material growth, higher inventory levels global component shortages as well as longer chip lead times due to logistical issues. Achieved 19% year-over-year revenue growth with the largest contributions from the memory and IC design sectors.
At the expense of Intel’s relatively flat results, Samsung led the way with strong DRAM and NAND flash market performance in 2021. Leading smartphone sellers SoC and GPU also saw strong growth with 50% revenue growth for the year.
In addition, we saw revenue growth of 27% per year in the top 15 sellers, surpassing global semiconductor revenue growth and another year of centralized semiconductor industry growth. In general, the supply limits may exceed the second half of 2022, although our research suggests that some components are easing shortages.
Looking forward, casters will add new capabilities in 2023 and although supply and demand will normalize in the near future, most of them are optimistic about their share and consumption rates. High-performance computing continues to be a major semi-content growth driver for the metaverse (AR/VR/XR), 5G and automotive industries.

Apart from this, Xiaomi matched last year’s share only by “recovering” from a terrible first half of 2023. At the same time, OPPO has fallen steadily over the past two years, while fellow BBK brand vivo lost the top-5 slot it’s owned for years.
Overall, the global smartphone market underwent a slight drop of 1% in Q3 2023. Bolstered by regional recoveries and new product upgrade demand, the smartphone market recorded a double-digit sequential growth in Q3, ahead of the sales seasons.
Recently, research agency Counterpoint Research published their latest analysis. The report reveals that Samsung continued its leadership in the third quarter of 2023, while Apple remained in the second spot. However, both OEMs faced a decline of 1 percent year over year.

The newly released iPhone 15 series will help Apple score a lead over Samsung in the fourth quarter of the year. The results will arrive by early next year, and it’s expected that the US phone maker could surpass Samsung. Major camera upgrades and USB-C helped Apple register strong sales.
