Market research firm ,ICInsights announced at first quarter of 2013 global semiconductor supplier rankings, several Japanese semiconductor manufacturers ranking backward than the same period last year; Toshiba regress a fifth, Renesas is out of top ten resulting from the declined sale of 20%, Sony regress three to become the sixteenth ,Quarterly sales fell 31% compared with the same period last year, Fujitsu (Fujitsu) by the first quarter of last year, the fifteenth regress Twenty-name, quarter sales fell 26%. But ICInsights pointed out, the sales figures are exchanged into US dollars by Japanese yen; in the first quarter of 2012, the U.S. dollar against the yen exchange rate of 1 U.S. dollar to 79.26 yen, but the exchange rate of the first quarter of 2013 to become $ 1 exchange 92.19 yen, and therefore the impact to the amount of sales of Japanese manufacturers. Nevertheless, Sony and Fujitsu's sales in the first quarter of 2013, if not converted into U.S. dollars, compared with the year-on-year decline is still double-digit; Toshiba's first quarter sales have year-on-year growth of 5 % in terms of yen calculated.In the first quarter of 2013, the world's top 20 semiconductor manufacturers (including IC, discrete components, optical components and sensors suppliers), 9 headquartered in the United States, four, headquartered in Japan, three Headquartered in Europe, Taiwan and South Korea two each; previous twenty vendors, including three pure-play foundries and four fabless chip industry.Usually in such chart single foundry industry there will be some controversy, because some of the sales of double counting ─ ─ chips sold to the foundry industry fabless chip industry, and then fab wafer industry then chip sales to customers ─ ─, but ICInsights, the agency published its ranking is the amount of sales rank in each industry, and market share ranking, and therefore will not affect. Total first quarter of 2013 the world's top 20 semiconductor manufacturers sales increased by 2% compared to the same period last year.In the the ranking of ICInsights, Intel (Intel) still retains its position as the leading position, but the company sales in the first quarter of 2013, slightly recession; memory supplier Samsung (Samsung) and SK Hynix (Hynix) of 2013 quarter, sales were up 13% and 20%; addition, the foundry industry, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) fabless customers with Qualcomm (Qualcomm), also a record quarter revenue growth of 26% compared with the same period last year and 28% of good results.
