Korean Media Claimed: Samsung Share is about to Approach Intel and Expected to Dominate the Semiconductor

Samsung Electronics has gained great achievement in semiconductor, which is expected to surpass the industry leader—Intel. Some data from IHS showed that the market share of Samsung has just fallen behind from Intel by 3%. Korea media alleged that Samsung may become the dominator in the field of semiconductor to replace Intel if it takes measures to add more investment or sets about mergers and acquisitions.

Korean media Business Korea has reported that IHS claimed that the market share of Intel is 14.2%, ranking first in the semiconductor industry. And Samsung electronics is second by means of 10.9% market share. Samsung electronics glares at the overlordship position like a tiger eyeing its prey. Now the gap between them is just 3.3%.

Korea experts hold the view that Samsung electronics can reach its goal if it can act boldly to devote its energy to investment, merger and acquisition in non-memory area in the next four or five years. That is to say, it will really replace Intel and become the vanguard in the field of semiconductor.

The reason why the market share of Samsung electronics has progressed much is that it performed well in memory. Early in 2013 Samsung has pioneered to develop the technology of 3D V-NAND. Afterwards Samsung again stepped into the manufacturing process of 20-nanoometer DRAM in the first place. Industry has estimated that the profit of Samsung semiconductor department in the first quarter is expected to reach 3 million millions KRW. (About 2.7 billion dollars)
