IC Insights has released its 2015 top IC foundries (pure-play and IDM) ranking. TSMC, by far, was the leader with US$26.4 billion in sales last year. TSMC's foundry sales increased by US$1.464 billion in 2015 while its sales to Apple jumped by US$1.99 billion, representing more than 100% of TSMC's total foundry sales increase during the year. As a result, without Apple, TSMC's foundry sales would have declined by 2% in 2015, eight points less than the 6% increase it logged when including Apple, IC Insights indicated. TSMC's 2015 sales were over five times that of second-ranked Globalfoundries and almost 12 times the sales of the fifth-ranked China-based foundry SMIC, IC Insights said.
