The Topology Research Institute under the Jibang Technology Co., Ltd. recently released the list of global TOP10 wafer foundries in the Q2 quarter of 2019. Due to the overall market decline, the revenues of the top 10 vendors in Q2 quarter are almost all falling. The receipt was only $15.36 billion, down 8% year-on-year.

2019Q2 global wafer foundry ranking: TSMC sits firmly in the first place, SMIC ranks fifth

In terms of specific rankings, TSMC ranked first with a revenue of 7.553 billion US dollars, and its market share reached 49.2%. This advantage is not surpassed by manufacturers in a short period of time.

Samsung ranked second with 2.777 billion US dollars in revenue, down 9% year-on-year, with a market share of 18%.

Gexin ranked third, with revenue of 1.336 billion US dollars in the quarter, down 12% year-on-year and market share of 8.7%.

UMC ranked fourth with $1.16 billion in revenue, but also fell 13% with a market share of 7.5%.

SMIC's revenue for the quarter was 790 million US dollars, down 11% year-on-year, with a market share of 5.1%.

Among the TOP10 manufacturers, there are two Chinese manufacturers, one is SMIC and the other is Huahong Semiconductor, but the share of these two companies does not exceed 10%. The global influence is limited, the current volume of the two companies. The most advanced technology is 28nm, both have a 14nm process mass production plan, SMIC is mass production in the second half of this year, Huahong is mass production in 2020, but the process technology is at least two generations behind TSMC and other companies the above.

Looking forward to 2019, the uncertainty of the global situation will bring about a major impact. The Topology Research Institute estimates that the global foundry industry will experience the first negative growth in 1019 in 2019, and the total output value is nearly 3 %years lower than that in 2018.
