In 2021, about 1.15 trillion semiconductor units were shipped all over the world - another year where shipments exceeded one trillion.
Semiconductors are a crucial element of modern electronic devices. In 2021, the global semiconductor industry registered a year-on-year revenue growth rate of26.2 percent, substantial growth following the sharp decline in 2019. Growth is expected again in 2022, with forecasts suggesting a figure of around 10.4 percent.
Samsung, the world’s largest semiconductor chip maker as of 2021, had 12.3 percent of the total semiconductor market share. The company's bihggest competitor in the market is Intel who occupied 12.2 percent of the market in 2021. Intel’s main business lies in the design and manufacturing of semiconductor chips, accounting for a significant portion of Intel's net revenue.
