Smart devices inevitably require processors. The processors and various chips that make up the devices we consume today have made the semiconductor manufacturing market a pretty juicy business.
According to the latest data, the Cupertino company has become the largest semiconductor investor of all 2017, making it clear that it is far from falling in sales in any of the divisions where it participates. Apple is more alive than ever, and the way it orders its products to be manufactured attests to that, we cannot deny it.
Between Apple and Samsung (the second company that has invested the most in this type of item), have invested more than 80.000 million dollars, which would represent an increase of 20.000 million, or 20% compared to last year 2016, all according to the data that DigiTimes has shared.
Samsung and Apple have not only maintained their positions as leader and second in the acquisition of this type of products, but they have significantly increased investment in semiconductors throughout 2017.
These two companies have held their positions since 2011 and continue to significantly influence the technology and prices of these products. - Masatsune Yamaji (Gartner)
Obviously in the "Top 10" of the companies that invest the most in processors We inevitably find other renowned companies such as LG, a position that it lost last year, The reality is that its mobile division has been rejuvenated, although rapidly overshadowed by other companies that offer precise similar to more attractive features. Thus, the ten companies that invest the most in semiconductors reach 40% of all world production, and everything will continue to grow as more products are invented and more consumer electronics we acquire.
