In 2013 there $237.2 Billion USD Spend for Semiconductors. While concentrated based on Buyer, Country and End Use there are still opportunities for Buyers outside to leverage spend based on understanding of their segment. Overall US is still top Buyer, Korea very strong, China growing but Japan still remains more relevant than most may think.

Top Semiconductor Buyers 2013
In 2013 there $237.2 Billion USD Spend for Semiconductors. While concentrated based on Buyer, Country and End Use there are still opportunities for Buyers outside to leverage spend based on understanding of their segment.

End Use SpendWireless 31%
Computer Platforms 22%
Consumer 16%Industrial, automotive, wired communications and computer peripherals.
31%
• Handsets were top category for OEM chip spending in the wireless segment.
• Top Buyers in wireless segment were Apple, Samsung, Huawei, ZTE and LG

Still a very large spend outside of Apple and Samsung

Some Possible Implications
• Clearly spend is concentrated by Buyer, Country and End Use– For equipment producers to semiconductor makers growth and
spending mostly driven by top Buyer and End Use– Top Semiconductor Buyers drive Supply Chain Decisions for
their suppliers. (Location of: Factories, Support, Cost Focus etc)
• However …. Significant spend still exists outside of the leaders– Segments on the “outside” while not offering same growth
maybe more stable and profitable for semiconductor device producers and OEMS (Industrial Analog Applications)

Buyers Approach
• If you are a Buyer in a concentrated segment wield your leverage to fullest.– Remember there was a time when Nokia and Motorola were
near the top of the list. Things will change.
• If you are a Buyer the other space you still have opportunities to leverage the space you are in.– Do not try to emulate big spenders practices– Leverage your stability or opportunity for suppliers to diversify – It is NOT a given that pricing and support to can not be the
same or similar to that that Apple and Samsung get.
