Over the year, Intel held on to its top spot as the leader in annual revenues.
According to this analysis of the worldwide semiconductor market, Omdia found that the market surpassed annual revenue of half-a-trillion dollars for the first time ever in 2021, capping a what was described as a 'remarkable year' for the industry. In addition, nearly 60% of companies in the sector grew by more than 20% in revenues.
Samsung maintained the top spot as the largest semiconductor company by revenue in the last quarter of last year bringing in revenue of $19.99bn compared to Intel's $19.97bn. Samsung was also the largest semiconductor firm by revenue in 3Q21, taking over after Intel was the largest in 1Q21 and 2Q21.
On an annual basis, however, Intel completed 2021 as the number one semiconductor company by revenue in 2021, with revenue at $76.6bn, which represented 13% of all semiconductor revenue for the year. Notably, Intel's 2021 revenue growth was nearly flat from 2020, which contrasted with the following top nine semiconductor firms, which all experienced year-over-year (YoY) revenue growth above 15%.
Intel's main revenue source, MPUs, experienced weaker 2021 growth compared to other components. MPUs overall grew at 11% YoY last year, much lower than the total semiconductor growth level of 24%.
