Continuing the second quarter of 2009, the semiconductor industry boomed from the bottom, including the top 4 foundries of TSMC, UMC, Chartered and SMIC. The total revenue in the third quarter of 2009 reached US$4.33 billion. The quarter grew by 22.1%, but compared with the same period in 2008, there was still a 5.7% decline.
Among them, UMC's third quarter revenue was US$850 million, up 22.3% from the previous quarter's US$690 million, which was the best among the four major foundries. Compared with the US$770 million in the same period in 2008, it also grew 11.1%. It is also the only company in the four largest wafer foundries that recovered to the same level in 2008.
Revenue growth was greater than that of its peers, and UMC revenue accounted for more than 20% of the total revenue of the top four wafer foundries from 17% in the third quarter of 2008. The increase in capacity utilization rate and product mix improvement made UMC's single-quarter gross profit margin rebound to 27%, which was also better than 17.6% in the same period of 2008.
TSMC's revenue for the third quarter of 2009 was US$2.74 billion, up 22.3% from the previous quarter's US$2.24 billion. It outperformed its peers, but it still lost 8.1% compared with US$2.98 billion in the same period in 2008. SMIC's third quarter revenue was 320 million US dollars, up 21% from the previous quarter's 270 million US dollars. Compared with the same period of 2008, 460 million US dollars, it was down 15%. The revenue growth rate was slightly lower than the peer level, but it was shipped. Driven by the increase and increase in capacity utilization, the gross profit margin in the single quarter turned from negative to positive.
As for the third quarter of 2009, the revenue of the license was 420 million US dollars, which was 18.9% higher than the previous quarter's 350 million US dollars. The growth performance of the two consecutive quarters was among the top four foundries, with a total of 460 million US dollars in the same period of 2008. In comparison, the decline is 10.5%, and the annual growth performance is only superior to SMIC.
The performance of the four-generation foundry's single-quarter revenue has grown by a two-digit percentage for the second consecutive quarter. Compared with the same period in 2008, there was only a small decline of 5.7%, indicating that the overall wafer foundry industry has been booming. The tsunami shadows came out and returned to the track of steady growth.
Looking forward to 2010, the inventory levels of major global chip manufacturers are still low, and the demand for replenishing inventory is conducive to the recovery of the semiconductor industry. From the demand side, it also benefits from the continued boom in the global economy in 2010. The three major application markets, including computers, communications, and consumer electronics, will also grow. According to the pre-plan, the global wafer foundry industry will be booming in 2010. There will be an opportunity to launch a new wave of prosperity. (Editor: Xiao Zhou)
