As of June 2, 2025, Nvidia ranked as the leading semiconductor company in terms of market capitalization at just under 3.3 trillion U.S. dollars, followed by the likes of Broadcom, TSMC, ASML, and Samsung. Many of the leading semiconductor stocks suffered as a result of trade tariff announcements in 2025. Nonetheless, the mix of companies featured on the list reflects the broad and complex nature of the semiconductor industry, with firms coming from across all parts of the chip ecosystem. Regional highlights The global semiconductor industry is dominated by companies from North America and the Asia-Pacific region. As a result, China, South Korea, and Taiwan rank as some of the biggest regional markets for semiconductor equipment spending. One of the world’s leading chip-making machine manufacturers, and a global leader in producing extreme ultraviolet lithography, or EUV, machines, is ASML based in Europe. ASML supplies its machines to the likes of TSMC, who are then contracted to manufacture chips for Nvidia. A dynamic industry In 2025, the semiconductor industry is expected to grow strongly, with forecasts suggesting the market could rise to just below 700 billion U.S. dollars. Nonetheless, companies across the whole supply chain must continue to navigate a challenging and changing world. Geopolitical tensions, such as the ongoing tech competition between the United States and China, as well as the growth of the AI chip market, will have a profound influence on the semiconductor industry moving forward.

In 2024, Samsung retook the market leader position within the global semiconductor industry with a market share of **** percent. Intel ranked second among vendors, occupying a market share of *** percent, closely followed by the AI giant Nvidia with a share of *** percent in 2024. Semiconductor companies in the United States Among the biggest semiconductor companies, a large proportion are based in the United States. In addition to Intel, notable U.S. semiconductor vendors include Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Broadcom. As a whole, U.S. semiconductor companies account for around ** percent of the global market, ahead of several Asia-Pacific regions such as South Korea, Japan, China, and Taiwan. Semiconductor applications The global semiconductor industry develops components for use across a range of applications, including for smartphones, PCs, and data centers. In addition to these products, demand for automotive semiconductors is set to grow as cars become smarter and more connected, with a growing desire also being observed for chips that are capable of supporting artificial intelligence applications.

The semiconductor industry in the United States is poised for significant growth, with Nvidia leading the pack as the largest semiconductor company by market capitalization. As of March 7, 2025, Nvidia's market cap reached an impressive *** trillion U.S. dollars, dwarfing second-placed Broadcom, which stood at *** million U.S. dollars. This dominance reflects the increasing importance of semiconductors in various technological advancements and the strong position of U.S. companies in the global market. Revenue growth and market expansion The U.S. semiconductor market is expected to experience substantial growth in the coming years. Forecasts indicate that revenue in the U.S. semiconductor market will reach **** billion U.S. dollars in 2025, a ** percent increase from the previous year. This growth is particularly evident in the integrated circuits segment, projected to surpass the ** billion mark in 2025. Sales performance and outlook The data shows strong performance in semiconductor sales within the Americas region. In December 2024, sales reached just over ** billion U.S. dollars, a notable increase from ***** billion U.S. dollars in the same month of the previous year. While the market is expected to continue growing, forecasts suggest a gradual slowdown in the rate of revenue change. However, most segments are still expected to maintain positive growth trends, indicating ongoing opportunities in the semiconductor industry.

In 2025, the global semiconductor industry is expected to grow by over ** percent, reaching ***** billion U.S. dollars. Strong growth in the logic and memory segments of the market is expected to contribute to this growth. Intel semiconductors Intel has regularly ranked among the leading global semiconductor companies in terms of sales revenue. In 2023, Intel’s semiconductor market share stood at *** percent. The company, based in Santa Clara, California, is joined by a number of other U.S. semiconductor companies in the top rankings. U.S. semiconductor companies Other notable semiconductor companies based in the U.S. include Qualcomm, Broadcom, and Nvidia. Developing a range of semiconductor products for the automotive and smartphone markets, to name but a few, Qualcomm’s semiconductor revenue amounted to ** billion U.S. dollars in 2023.
