MediaTek's tenth largest semiconductor plant in the world

Mobile phone chipmaker MediaTek merged Morningstar last year and benefited from the high growth of China's mobile phone market. Its performance jumped to more than US$7 billion, making it among the top 10 semiconductor manufacturers in the world.

According to a survey conducted by research institute IHS, the global semiconductor output value last year was US$ 354.5 billion, an increase of 9.2% year-on-year, which was the highest level of growth since 2011.

Intel (Intel) last year revenue 49.96 billion US dollars, ranking the world's leading semiconductor position; Samsung (Samsung) revenue of 38.06 billion US dollars, ranking second.
