In addition, fabless was third mediatek revenue is expected to shrink 8% this year to $6.504 billion.

Merger and acquisition (m&a) again In 2015, according to research firm Dealogic, until mid-december semiconductor industry mergers and acquisitions scale has reached $120 billion, the highest on record. Transaction amount has reached more than four times last year. Since 1972, the world's top ten semiconductor company's market share has remained within a certain level, but this year the combination between big companies and approximate crazy mergers and acquisitions, broke the law. In 2015, the world's top ten semiconductor company's market share is at its highest level than in the past 42 years increased by 3%. View say, at such a pace, to 2020 global semiconductor companies will "unification", everybody works for a company.

Contract more competitive Overall in 2015 for the generation of the years of industry is a challenge, there may be a moderate growth. Based on the advanced process of OEM customer base to further mergers, and due to yield problems global foundry in nm 16/14 finfet craft could stay longer. From the advanced process technology, most of the OEM manufacturers to enter a new stage, such as, Romania, samsung and TSMC can have from the traditional planar process, 28 nm, or 20 nm transition to 16 nm /
