2017: Changes in top three there is IHS Markit
The proceeding merger wave and absorption in the semiconductor industry led to changes in top three in the market of industrial chips in 2017, analysts of IHS Markit report.
The Analog Devices company, in the 2016th closing the five of the largest chipmakers for industrial equipment, in 2017 behind small did not double turnover and rose by the second line. Progress was promoted by last year's result of Linear Technology company as a result of which joint revenue of chipmakers in the market of industrial semiconductors achieved $2.8 billion, as allowed Analog Devices (ADI) to improve positions.
However Texas Instruments (TI) remained the leader of the industry according to the results of last year. The company earned from chips of industrial function more than $5 billion against slightly less than $4.5 billion the previous year.

The steady economy of the USA and high demand in the People's Republic of China provided a considerable part of last year's growth in the field of industrial the equipment. Besides, recovery of activity in Europe also promoted improvement of dynamics in the semiconductor sector — Robbie Galoso, the associate director and the leading analyst of IHS Markit in the field of industrial chips characterized a situation in the industry. |
According to the forecast of IHS, the market will continue to move on ascending up to 2022 and will increase on average in volumes by 7.1%.
Characterizing dynamics at vendors, analysts noted that all ten largest suppliers of chips for industrial equipment in 2017 showed growth. In top-10, in addition to already mentioned by TI and ADI, Intel, Infineon, STMicroelectronics, Micron Technology, Toshiba, Microchip, ON Semiconductor and NXP Semiconductors entered.[1]
