英特爾(Intel)即將成為市值500億美元的公司,在2011年漲幅高達(dá)23%,在市場分析公司IHS的20大芯片廠商排名中,IHS初步預(yù)測英特爾在全球芯片產(chǎn)業(yè)的市場份額將由2010年的13.2%增長至2011年的15.9%。
考慮到過去幾年里,英特爾的市場一直在被三星侵蝕,此次的成就格外引人注目。IHS估計整個市場從2010年的3070億美元增長至今年的3128億美元,漲幅1.9%。除英特爾外,只有高通和安森美半導(dǎo)體的增長幅度超過此數(shù)。
不過2011年排名也受到收購的影響。英特爾的排名有自己收購英飛凌、高通收購Atheros、安森美從松下手中收購三洋半導(dǎo)體。
Dale Ford在一份聲明中表示:“在年景不佳的半導(dǎo)體市場,英特爾全線取得成功,擴(kuò)張自己的核心微處理器和存儲業(yè)務(wù)的同時完成一項大型收購。這使得英特爾增幅超過市場、拉開與競爭對手的距離、不為經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢和日泰兩國天災(zāi)所動搖。”

經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢疲軟影響芯片產(chǎn)業(yè)
英特爾正從微處理器和NAND閃存中收益。IHS認(rèn)為這兩塊是2011年當(dāng)紅的領(lǐng)域,正帶來兩位數(shù)的增長。
三星也在從NAND閃存銷售中獲利。除NAND閃存以外,三星目前也在應(yīng)用處理器、CMOS圖像傳感器、顯示驅(qū)動電路占據(jù)領(lǐng)先地位。但三星正被DRAM業(yè)務(wù)所拖累。IHS預(yù)計DRAM市場將在2011年縮水27%。
根據(jù)IHS的數(shù)據(jù),除NAND閃存以外,整個存儲市場2011年表現(xiàn)不佳。EEPROM、SRAM和NOR閃存的銷售額今年下滑幅度都將達(dá)到兩位數(shù)。因此存儲供應(yīng)商將遭到重大損失,比如海力士(Hynix)、美光(Micron)、Elpida的營收分別下降14.2%、17.3%和40.2%。
根據(jù)2011年初步市場份額數(shù)據(jù),IHS預(yù)測全球半導(dǎo)體市場將增長1.9%,高于此前1.2%的預(yù)測。
IHS預(yù)測“極端疲軟”的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況將使得2012年芯片市場繼續(xù)保持較低的個位數(shù)增長,營收增長的反彈將等到2013年以后。

Intel bounces back in 2011 chip company ranking
Peter Clarke
Intel is set to be a nearly $50 billion company and have enjoyed 23 percent growth in 2011 as it increases its lead of the top 20 chip company ranking produced by market research firm IHS.
This takes Intel's market share of the global chip industry to 15.9 percent in 2011, up from 13.2 percent in 2010, in the preliminary market share estimate from IHS.
Intel's achievement is the more remarkable given that it has been losing market share to Samsung over several years and that IHS has 2011 as a 1.9 percent growth year achieving $312.8 billion total up from $307 billion in 2010. Only Qualcomm and On Semiconductor will show higher percentage growth in 2011, according to IHS.
However, this then reveals that acquisitions were a key driver of progress in the 2011 ranking. Intel put on weight thanks to the acquisition of Infineon's wireless business unit, Qualcomm acquired Atheros Communications and On Semiconductor took over Sanyo Semiconductor from Panasonic.
"In a challenging year for the semiconductor market, Intel achieved success on all fronts, expanding its core microprocessor and memory businesses, while also capitalizing on a major acquisition," said Dale Ford, in a statement. "This allowed the company to outgrow the market and expand its lead over its closest competitors, defying the impact of weak economic conditions and catastrophic natural disasters in Japan and Thailand."
Weak economy to drag on chips
Intel is benefiting from its presence in microprocessors and NAND flash, two product areas that IHS considers "hot" in 2011 and set to generate double-digit revenue growth.
Samsung is also benefiting from NAND flash sales, in which it is the world's leading supplier as well as progress in applications processors, CMOS image sensors and display driver ICs, but this is offset by its exposure to the DRAM market. IHS expects the DRAM market to decline by 27 percent in 2011.
Memory in general, and with the exception of NAND flash, was a poor market to be in during 2011, said IHS. Global revenue for EEPROM, SRAM and NOR flash memory all will decline by double-digit percentages this year. Consequently, some of the biggest decreases will be suffered by memory suppliers, such as Hynix Semiconductor Inc., Micron Technology Inc. and Elpida Memory Inc. whose revenue will fall by 14.2 percent, 17.3 percent and 40.2 percent, respectively.
Based on its preliminary 2011 market share research IHS has raised its forecast for global semiconductor market growth to 1.9 percent, up from the previous outlook of a 1.2 percent increase.
IHS is predicting that the "extremely weak" economic conditions will keep 2012 chip market growth at a low single-digit percentage and any rebound in revenue growth will be delayed until 2013.
