The top ten suppliers had collective revenue of  $12.19bn representing 40.4% of the $30.15bn industrial IC market.

Only two companies in the top ten grew sales last year – Nichia and Panasonic.

Nichia went from No.16 in 2011 to No.9 last year thanks to its involvement in light-emitting diodes (LED) for general lighting. Nichia’s revenue reached $822 million, up 24.4%.

Panasonic grew 9.8% to $821m.
Among those that fell out of the Top 10 last year were NXP – down from No. 9 in 2011; and Xilinx.
