The Fight for Dominance in the Tech Industry

The desire to be the best in what you do or to be better than the others, the goal to reach at the top and to dominate the world are some of the considerably basic characteristics of human beings. But this is not applicable to individuals only, organizations, companies, countries always trying to better than their competitors or rivals.  The goal here is to be the undisputed leader in whatever field you are indulged in and to drive your competitors out of the market. In today’s world where the world is considered as a global village is still full of such aspiring nations and companies which wants to dominate the world. 

There is no single country which dominates each and every industry, but there are some of them which dominates the majority of the industry and sectors. The growth and development in an industry attracts countries to monetize the benefit of such industry which is expanding exponentially. One such industry is Tech Industry, for which several countries and companies are competing for becoming the undisputed leader.

In tech industry too there are several segmentations such as the software industry, electronics industry, semiconductor industry companies, hardware industry and many more. In smartphone industry, Samsung and Apple are considered to be the arch-rivals and market leaders of the said industry. Apple is an American company while Samsung is a Japanese company. Asian countries are gradually making their presence felt by giving tough competition to their American competitors. 

In recent years, companies like Huawei & Xiaomi from China has been hurting the American companies severely. The growing tension between the two countries has also resulted in the cut-throat competition and the motive to dominate the other one is at its peak. In semiconductor industry too, the competition to become the market leader is mostly polarized around USA and Asian countries. Companies like TSMC is giving tough competition to American semiconductor manufacturers such as Intel and AMD. In the recent years of semiconductor industry, Japan dominated the DRAM market. But due to the series of bad decisions and failed strategies they lost the top position to Korea and USA. In recent years, China is also planning to become self-dependent by increasing domestic production several folds. They are planning to achieve this feat in next 5-10 years. The American companies are dominating the semiconductor market today but due to increasing competition they must change their strategies, otherwise they will lose their top position to their competitors just like Japan.

The desire to be at the top is what drives these companies and nations towards advancements and innovations. Healthy competition is a key element in the leap of innovation and evolution but when the competition turns into a pit fight then the headache begins. As of now, USA is dominating most of the segments of tech industry, but it won’t be a surprise to see some Asian countries and semiconductor companies dominating several segments of tech industry. In other industries too, the competition is fierce and only time will reveal that who will have the last laugh.

The Rise of Big 4 in the Semiconductor Industry

Introduction: Since the time semiconductors were invented they have changed the course of technological advancement in the world. For years after its invention the semiconductor market trend was in favor of the US. Even today the USA contributes to 47% of total revenue in the semiconductor industry. But in the last 20 years, the semiconductor industry transformed into a battlefield among the US and the 4 rising countries of East Asia. These countries were South Korea, Japan, China, and Taiwan. As these countries used modern methods to manufacture semiconductors, the cost per chip reduced and the American companies bleeded. It is to be understood that the US still holds the major share in both revenue and market size in the semiconductor industry. But it is facing tough competition from these 4 countries. How these 4 countries have changed the dynamics of the semiconductor industry is discussed below. South Korea: The Boss Among the Four South Korea is the leading country among ...

Introduction to DRAM

Image
Introduction to DRAM Semiconductors are one of the key components used in almost every electronic device and equipment. Without semiconductor, our phone, laptop, kitchen appliances, security systems are useless. Semiconductors are mostly made up of silicon material hence they are also known as silicon chips or silicon chip wafer . Semiconductor memory is a vital electronics component needed for any computer-based PCB assembly. Memory cards such as potable flash memory card is used for storing data and information, sharing files etc. While semiconductor memory is used in electronic gadgets such as cameras, phones, and computers/laptops. With the need to store huge amount of data, and the growing advancements in the world, the demand for semiconductor memory is at its peak. Today, different semiconductor memory types are available in the market and they are used with the device they are compatible or suited with. Various kinds of semiconductors memory are ROM, RAM, EPROM, EEPROM, Flash ...
