“The global semiconductor industry is maturing, with annual growth dropping from more than 10 percent a year to the current 4 to 5 percent per year, driving the industry to maintain a positive M & A trend.” NXP Semiconductors President and Chief Executive Officer Richard De Kelaiming recently in an exclusive interview.
In 2015, the global semiconductor industry mergers and acquisitions more than 120 billion US dollars. Into 2016, and have burst the news of the semiconductor giant mergers and acquisitions, including generous, including Japan’s Softbank spend about 32 billion US dollars acquisition of British semiconductor and software design firm ARM, the United States to 3.56 billion US dollars of micro-technology cash and stock acquisition competition Rival Atmel, Japan’s Renesas to 3.229 billion US dollars acquisition of the United States and Intel. erj3ekf2743v
In the division of thunder, the global semiconductor industry into maturity, the increasingly fierce market competition, the industry will seek to further enhance the integration of mergers and acquisitions, the future there will be an amazing amount of the transaction M & A offer. According to his judgment, the global semiconductor industry will become increasingly centralized trend, the development trajectory may follow the Western military industry, from the initial hundreds of thousands, through constant survival of the fittest, mergers and acquisitions, eventually evolved into a specific area only Supported by several giants.
“In this trend, NXP can not stay out,” Kelaiming said, NXP hopes through mergers and acquisitions, will be more advantages of combining technology to provide customers with comprehensive solutions. For example, NXP completed the end of the acquisition of Freescale, to bring more market opportunities. Data show that the acquisition of Freescale’s new NXP market valuation of more than 40 billion US dollars, annual revenues of more than 10 billion US dollars, became the world’s largest supplier of automotive electronic components. 422lp9r
Transnational semiconductor giants in the active participation in mergers and acquisitions market at the same time, with particular emphasis on deep plowing prospects are generally optimistic about the Chinese market. According to professional research institutions statistics, in 2015 the size of the Chinese market reached 1102.4 billion yuan, becoming the world’s largest consumer of semiconductor products.
Klein once said that NXP in the Chinese market has been the implementation of sound expansion policy, and Datang, millet, the United States and many other Chinese enterprises around the unmanned, mobile payment, intelligent life and other content cooperation. Not long ago, NXP also Changan Automobile, Neusoft Group set up “China Automotive Information Security common interest group” to jointly promote the hardware-based automotive safety industry standard set up and application. This is the NXP in the global market, the first joint local automotive industry, software companies launched automotive safety organizations. Section Lei Ming told reporters that the establishment of this car information security team is critical to NXP. “In the field of unmanned vehicles, the opportunities in the Chinese market are much greater than in other regions, so we have to find the right partner in China to complete the business.” Klein said NXP will provide the Chinese market with Unmanned solution with core technology.
According to reports, NXP is headquartered in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, Philips in 2006 stripped of its own chip and semiconductor business was founded. As the world’s leading semiconductor manufacturer, NXP provides solutions for interconnected automotive, network security, portable and wearable devices and the Internet of Things. With more than 60 years of expertise and experience, NXP has operations in more than 35 countries, with annual revenues of $ 6.1 billion in 2015.
