MediaTek has overtaken Qualcomm and become the market leader in mobile chips

Experts concluded that MediaTek’s share represents 43% of the processor market, while in the previous quarter this figure was at the level of 37%.

Counterpoint Research Analysts Study Market Mobile chipset in the second quarter of this year and came to the conclusion that Media Tech She firmly established herself as a leader. And this result turned out to be a record for a Taiwanese chip manufacturer. For the first time in its history, it controls more than 40% of the mobile phone chip market.

Experts concluded that the participation Media Tech It represents 43% of the processor market, while the previous quarter for this figure was at the level of 37%. And if we compare the same period last year, then the success of the Taiwanese company looks even more impressive, because last year its share was 26%.

Second place in the second quarter of this year went to Qualcomm, which represents 28% of the mobile phone chip market and is down 4% year-on-year. On the third line was An applewhose share was 14%. That’s a similar result to last year, but it’s also 7% lower than last year’s fourth quarter. There is every reason to say that according to the results of the third and fourth quarters of this year, An apple It will strengthen its position and grow its participation in the course of beginning sales iPhone 13.

In fourth place was UNISOC with 9% market share, up 5% from the second quarter of 2020. Samsung It managed to enter the top five, whose chips account for only 7% of the market, while in the second quarter of 2020, this figure was 12%. Predictably, the HiSilicon (Huawei) became an outsider, its share decreased to 3%, and a year ago it was fivefold – 16%.

If we talk about the chip chip 5G, so it was the undisputed leading chipmaker in the second quarter Qualcomm. It controls 55% of the market share compared to 29% a year ago.

Director of Research Dale Jay said: “A Media Tech It dominated the smartphone SoC market with the highest share ever of 43%, driven by a competitive 5G portfolio in the mid- and low-end segment and without major supply constraints. The Media Tech They benefited from fewer supply restrictions in the first half of 2021, including with RFICs (Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits), power management ICs (PMICs) and stable production revenues from TSMC. Sending 4G SoC helped more Media Tech to strengthen its leadership position.

Commenting on the growth of 5G smartphone baseband, Research Analyst Parv Sharma said; “The Qualcomm It dominated the 5G baseband market with a 55% share. Elea wins the series 5G baseband modem chipset An apple iPhone 12; And the huge demand for full 5G chips, from the flagship 8 series to the cheaper 4 series. However, the Qualcomm It would have shipped more chips if the San Diego supplier had not been affected by supply-side constraints and productivity issues during the first half of 2021. Qualcomm Various additional capacity guaranteed from TSMC and other multi-component foundries by the end of the second quarter of 2021. This should help the supplier simplify the supply of its components and recover the missing part of Media Tech Us next quarters.”
