Intel in 2011 increased its market share in the $300 billion semiconductor chip market to 15.6 percent, up 2.5 percentage points from 13.1 percent in 2010. This represents the highest market share for Intel since 2001, when it reached 14.9 percent. Over the last five years, Intel’s share of the market ranged from 11.9 to 13.9 percent.
“Intel in 2011 captured the headlines with its major surge in growth,” said Dale Ford, head of electronics and semiconductor research for IHS. “The company’s rise was spurred by soaring demand for its PC-oriented microprocessors, and for its NAND flash memory used in consumer and wireless products.”
15.6% of a 300 billion dollar annual and growing market ain't half-bad; it looks like they will hit fifty billion this year
