According to the latest forecast of the market research firm IC Insights , SK Hynix (Hynix) and MediaTek (MediaTek) year 2013 is expected to become the most dazzling performance of the global chip market vendors , the annual revenue growth rate can reach 44% and , respectively, 34% , ranking in the top five on the market and in the top twenty , respectively .
"Despite its China plant fire and discontinued accident , SK Hynix DRAM revenue this year to benefit from the market is still thriving , ranked three are expected to go forward ." IC Insights noted that MediaTek''s market position is expected from the 2012 ''s twenty-second advance to the sixteenth , its growth momentum in the smartphone applications processor shipments reached nearly 200 million , compared with 108 million last year doubled .
IC Insights said: " Due to the low-level smartphone boom China and other Asia- Pacific markets in the ascendant , components MediaTek is also being felt strong demand ." But the Taiwanese IC design industry is still far behind the first mobile phone chip maker Qualcomm ( Qualcomm) at a distance Qualcomm previously estimated that the company this year shipments reached 716 million , growth of 21% over the previous year , while revenue for the year came to $ 24.87 billion , representing growth of 30 , then the net revenue growth of 22% reached $ 7.91 billion .

But despite the rosy earnings results , Qualcomm conservative views on the prospects , expect the new fiscal year revenue growth in excess of 11% led his troops but in the long term , the company''s chief executive Paul Jacobs is expected : "Our revenues in the next five years the average price will be presented with a compound annual growth rate of two digits . "
In other manufacturers part , IC Insights expected Broadcom (Broadcom) will for the first time joined this global top ten chip supplier , with annual sales growth rate of 4% Micron (Micron) market is expected to rank ahead two came first eight , mainly because the company completed the merger Elpida (Elpida).

The IC Insights also pointed out that the Japanese semiconductor industry Fujitsu (Fujitsu), Renesas (Renesas) and Sony (Sony), is perhaps the worst performance of the year 2013 vendors which Fujitsu will sell analog and microcontroller business in April of this year after to Spansion, the market is expected to regress ranked five places , out of the top 20 global outside .
Renesas is also expected to be backward ranked seventh to eleventh in the world , with annual revenues decline by 16% , is the world''s top 25 chip vendors regressed the most. Besides Sony''s annual revenue is expected to decline by 14%. IC Insights said the impact of the depreciation of the yen brings all the Japanese semiconductor industry : " to calculate the terms of the yen -dollar exchange rate for the year 2012 , Sony, Fujitsu and Renesas 2013 annual revenue growth but also their 4%, 3 %, and 2 % .
