Semico: $42 billion analog semiconductor market with 90+ players

Semico Research has reported the analog IC market is a $42 billion business, representing 14% of the total semiconductor market. The market is fragmented, with over 90 companies participating, either as IDMs, foundry, or fabless. Revenues from analog are heavily weighted to communications products, but several market growth drivers are identified in our new report, including automotive, energy, mobility, and medical/healthcare, says Semico.

Semico release states the analog market is moving into the 300mm era, and this report explores the players in this area and who will be next to move to the larger wafer size. Finally, analog capacity by technology node is presented. As the analog industry moves to more complex products on smaller technology nodes, there will be an increase in 300mm production.
