IC Insights released its August Update to the 2019 McClean Report earlier this month. This Update included Part 1 of an in-depth analysis of the foundry industry, an updated forecast for semiconductor capital spending this year, and a ranking of the top-25 1H19 semiconductor suppliers and their 3Q19 sales outlook. The top-15 1H19 semiconductor suppliers are covered in this research bulletin.
The top-15 worldwide semiconductor (IC and O-S-D—optoelectronic, sensor, and discrete) sales ranking for 1H19 is shown in Figure 1. It includes six suppliers headquartered in the U.S., three in Europe, and two each in Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan.
