Gartner Says Worldwide Semiconductor Revenue Grew 5.2 Per Cent in 2013

Worldwide semiconductor revenue totalled $315.4 billion in 2013, a 5.2 per cent increase from 2012 revenue of $299.9 billion, according to preliminary results by Gartner, Inc. The top 25 semiconductor vendors' combined revenue increased 6.2 per cent, a significantly better performance than the rest of the market, whose revenue growth was 2.9 per cent. This was, in part, due to the concentration of memory vendors, which saw significant growth in the top ranking.
