The smartphone world has been developing rapidly in recent years. With the development of technology, the processor industry is also developing rapidly. As such, the importance of semiconductor production for the processors of smartphones is increasing. The leader in this field is hardly surprising.
TSMC holds 70 percent of semiconductor production
Counterpoint Technology Market Research investigated the market situation in semiconductor manufacturing for smartphone devices. According to the research conducted for the first quarter of the year, TSMC provides 70 percent of the AP/SoC and baseband chips for smartphones.
The report states that semiconductor shipments are in a decline of 5 percent during this period. However, although the number of shipments decreased, the material size of the sector increased. So much so that the sector witnessed an annual growth of 23 percent.
The coronavirus and the accompanying quarantine process caused the semiconductor supply crisis to emerge. While this situation caused disruptions in production, it also caused price increases in the products produced. However, in this period, TSMC, one of the first names that comes to mind when it comes to chip manufacturing, has grown rapidly.
The company, which finished 2021, which was under the influence of the coronavirus, with a leadership in income level, experienced a growth of 35 percent in the first quarter of 2022. Competitor companies are making great efforts to end this leadership. Intel and Samsung are joint ventures in chip manufacturing.
