TriQuint and Win Semiconductors Tighten Grip on GaAs Foundry Market


Market Leaders Increase Market Collective Market Share to 77%

Boston, MA - May 11, 2009 –  The latest Strategy Analytics report, “Squeezing Out the Competition; TriQuint Semiconductor and Win Semiconductors Extend GaAs Foundry Leadership,” reports that TriQuint Semiconductor and Win Semiconductors continue to squeeze out the competition, increasing  their collective share of the GaAs (gallium arsenide) foundry market from 67% in 2007 to 77% in 2008.

TriQuint held onto the top spot in 2008, benefiting from commercial opportunities as well as engagements in the US defense and aerospace industries. Win Semiconductors is by far the largest pure-play GaAs foundry, pushing TriQuint hard for the number one spot in 2008, with only one percentage point separating the two companies in overall market share.

“Strategy Analytics estimates that the total market for GaAs foundry grew 27% year-on-year in 2008 and was worth $311 million,” noted Asif Anwar at Strategy Analytics. “The market for GaAs foundry services will continue to grow as dual-sourcing and fabless strategies become more prominent in the GaAs industry.”

 “Start-up companies and research institutes targeting niche and emerging markets may be finding that the tapeout costs of “cheap silicon” are too expensive in the current downturn,” observed Stephen Entwistle, VP of the Strategic Technologies Practice. “This offers an additional opportunity for GaAs foundries to leverage the lower costs and higher performance capabilities offered by GaAs processes.”
