The United States captures the global IC market share with 54 percent in 2021. While the US holds the majority of shares, the rest of the share is split into south Asian countries consisting of South Korea having the second-highest 22 percent share followed by Taiwan, Japan and China. Except for the US and South-East Asian dominance, the European countries have a 6 percent share.

In comparison to the US holding lion's share, China has only 4 percent of the global semiconductor market share, as per IC Insights. Here’s what the list looks like-
