NXP (with Freescale) Largest Automotive Chip Vendor

Hmmmmm, do you think NXP would be interested in Poet's Detector? I'm pretty sure Suresh has had a few conversations with some of his former colleagues at Freescale......

MUNICH—According to the latest analysis by market watcher Semicast Research, NXP was the leading vendor of semiconductors to the OE automotive sector in 2015. Infineon passed Renesas Electronics to become the second largest vendor, with STMicroelectronics and Texas Instruments completing the top five. Semicast estimates that revenues for OE automotive semiconductors totaled USD 28.2 billion in 2015.

Colin Barnden, principal analyst at Semicast Research, commented “The combination of NXP and Freescale creates a formidable force, not just in automotive semiconductors but in other areas such as industrial, medical and microcontrollers. It will now almost certainly require the merger of two other leading suppliers to move NXP from the head of the automotive vendor share rankings.”
