siliconindia | | April 20176EditorialSagaya ChristurajManaging Editoreditor@siliconindia.comThe number of semiconductor components used in daily lives is constantly expanding. Chips form the core of many cutting-edge devices--from smartphones and tablets to television sets, sophisticated cars, and medical devices. This is powering the growth of the market, with worldwide semiconductor revenue forecasted to touch $364.1 billion in 2017, according to Gartner. The positive outlook for 2017 will be driven by inventory replenishment and increasing average selling prices (ASPs) in select markets, particularly commodity memory and application-specific standard products.This year as systems companies like Google, Facebook and Amazon get into IC design the sales of chips are moving towards acceleration and development. The automotive sector and various slices of the Internet of Things, from edge-node sensors to server chips for cloud-based datacenters, are just beginning to show up in the market, as well. And, the experts reveal that the continuing consolidation in the semiconductor sector is creating both concerns and opportunities this year. Concerns are coming from customers who feel their chip supplier is getting bigger, less flexible and more competitive in their end markets. Meanwhile, the same trend is generating a hole in the market for companies that are flexible and focused on the chip market vs. end user markets. To meet the demands, semiconductor majors will need to ramp up the global production capacity in the coming days. In this scenario, the Indian semiconductor companies based in the U.S. possess an added advantage. Several reasons account for this. First, U.S. is one of the best, IP-secure environments in the world. In addition, the U.S. has one of the world's most talented mixed crowd workforces to fulfill the challenging manufacturing jobs.That being said, there is no dearth of successful Indian semiconductor companies in the U.S. In this edition, we present to you the elite in the industry--a list of the top twenty semiconductor companies in the U.S. The list was compiled by a panel of industry experts in collaboration with siliconindia's editorial team.Let us know your thoughts.The Change has Begun Editor-in-Chief Harvi Sachar Managing Editor Christo Jacob Editorial Staff Anamika Sahu Dylan D'Souza Mewanshwa Kharshiing Rachita Sharma Sandeep Sen Sagaya Christuraj Sudhakar Singh Vignesh Anantharaj Sr.Visualiser Ashok kumar Circulation Manager Magendran Perumal Mailing AddressSiliconIndia Inc44790 S.
