As you know, Samsung is the world's largest manufacturer of memory chips, but when it comes to smartphone chips, it is significantly lower in the ranking. Specifically, he finished in fifth place last year.
According to a new report from Strategy Analytics, Samsung's market share was 9%. MediaTek and HiSilicon (a subsidiary of Huawei) were ahead of him with a share of 18%, Apple with a share of 23% and the market leader was Qualcomm with a share of 31%.
The smartphone chip market grew by 25% year-on-year to $25 billion (just under 550 billion crowns), thanks to solid demand for chipsets with built-in 5G connectivity. There was also high demand for 5nm and 7nm chips, benefiting Samsung's foundry division and TSMC.
5nm and 7nm chips accounted for 40% of all smartphone chipsets last year. Over 900 million chips with integrated artificial intelligence have also been sold. When it comes to tablet chips, Samsung also ranked fifth – its market share was 7%. He was number one Apple with a share of 48%. It was closely followed by Intel (16%), Qualcomm (14%) and MediaTek (8%).
Samsung's share of the smartphone chipset market depends heavily on smartphone sales Galaxy, however, it is trying to expand its business by supplying chips to other brands, such as Vivo. Strategy Analytics expects the Korean tech giant's share of this market to increase this year.
