TSMC Captures Biggest Share In Global Smartphone Chip Market In Q1: Counterpoint Research

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Firm (TSMC) captured practically 70 per cent share of the worldwide smartphone chipset market in Q1, adopted by Samsung Foundry at 30 per cent market share, a brand new report has stated. TSMC captured the market from the entire System-on-Chip (SoC) to discrete Software Processors (AP) and mobile modems, studies Counterpoint Analysis.

International smartphone chipset cargo declined 5 per cent (on-year) in Q1 on account of seasonality, weaker demand in China amid lockdowns and over transport from some chipset distributors in This fall 2021. Nonetheless, this decline was offset by robust development within the chipset revenues which grew a wholesome 23 per cent YoY in Q1 2022, because the chipset combine shifted in the direction of costlier 5G smartphones.

“TSMC and Samsung Foundry collectively management the whole smartphone chipset market and TSMC is greater than double Samsung by way of manufacturing scale and market share,” stated senior analysis analyst Parv Sharma.

Of the overall smartphone chipsets on superior nodes (4nm, 5nm, 6nm and 7nm), TSMC captured 65 per cent market share.

“Samsung Foundry captured round 30 per cent share of the worldwide smartphone chipset shipments because of Qualcomm and Samsung Semiconductor’s inside Exynos chipset division,” stated senior analyst Jene Park.

Samsung has now begun mass manufacturing of 3-nanometer semiconductors, stepping up its sport in probably the most superior chipmaking course of node, beating its rival TSMC. The following-generation 3nm chips are constructed on Gate-All-Round (GAA) know-how, which Samsung stated will finally permit space discount of as much as 35 per cent whereas offering 30 per cent greater efficiency and 50 per cent decrease energy consumption, in contrast with the prevailing FinFET course of.

Samsung stated its first technology of the 3nm course of node achieves a 16 p.c space discount, 23 p.c greater efficiency and a forty five p.c decrease energy consumption.
