Gartner\u2019s latest figures show that Intel was the biggest semiconductor vendor in the world in 2016.<\/p>\n

The global semiconductor market grew by 2.6% in 2016, totalling\u00a0$343.5 billion, said Gartner.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe top 25 semiconductor vendors\u2019 combined revenue increased 10.5%, a significantly better performance than the overall industry\u2019s growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Worldwide semiconductor revenue growth was supported by increasing production in electronic equipment segments and improving NAND flash memory pricing, it said.<\/p>\n
