Taiwan's top ten IC design companies Crystal Hao, Yan Chuang into a new face

The Taiwanese IC design industry experienced generally poor operating performance in the first quarter of 2015. Market demand for terminal 3C products was consistently lower than expected. Markets in the mainland and emerging countries also saw no growth momentum. The largest decibels in the second quarter also dragged down Taiwanese IC designers' revenue outlook in the second quarter to increase slightly or decline slightly.

Now can only hope that in the second quarter off-season is very light situation, after the middle of the third quarter, there will be a decent traditional peak season effect for the company's performance counterattack, otherwise the revenue growth trend in 2015 fear.

In fact, since the first half of 2015, domestic and foreign wafer foundry production capacity utilization of the high point of reversal phenomenon itself for Taiwan-based IC design company, there will be chip average unit price decline and gross profit margin bearish growth pressure.

More and since the first quarter of 2015, we have seen a trend of significant declines in the prices of mobile phone chips, LCD driver ICs, memory ICs, USB chips, touch ICs, and analog ICs, as reflected in various Taiwanese IC design companies. In the second quarter of the operating outlook, most of the gross profit rate in the second quarter will slip by 1 to 3 percentage points. In the second quarter, when the revenue was at most lukewarm, with the second quarter, there were always some employee dividend expenses that needed to be amortized. In the second quarter, the Taiwanese IC design company’s profit performance actually had a headwind trend.

Looking at the ranking of Taiwan's top ten IC design companies in the first quarter of 2015, the top five MediaTek, Lianyi, Ruiqi and Qijing still remain the same, but it is the first quarter of the year when the revenue growth contradicts the trend. Five titles, quite return to glory.

As for the top ten newly added Jing Hao Ke and Chuang Chuang, the long-tail effect of economic recovery has been made by the standard memory products in 2014 under the global memory industry and the market order returned to normal. Rendering to the niche-type memory market, it also enabled Crystal Haoke and Yuchuang to be promoted to Taiwan's top ten IC design companies again after many years.

Since Jing Hao Ke and Hao Chuang will have mass production of many new products in 2015, the two storage IC design companies are full of stamina and may hold the list for the whole year.

In the first quarter of 2015, the ranking of top ten profitable IC design companies still followed the usual practice. Hui Rong, Pu Rui, and Li Lijie, who were relatively light, thin, short, and small, were in the same situation as their oldest brothers, MediaTek and United. The top five profitable IC design company rankings.

Among the top ten list of profitable IC design companies, the top 10 in revenue are also MediaTek, Alliance, Wonder, Huirong, and Licensing, which shows that economies of scale still contribute significantly to the decline in chip costs.

As for the analogy IC suppliers such as Li Ye, An Bang, Li Lijie, Zhixin, etc., they won four seats in the top ten profitable IC design companies at a glance, but it is a reversal for Taiwan’s analog IC design industry that has been seen for a long time. The opportunity also shows that the results of the Taiwan-based analog IC design product's nicheization have begun to show.
