As reported by Taiwan media, it is predicted that Qualcomm chipset will play a more
important role than MTK chipset in smart phone manufacturing in 2015 because
Chinese smart phone vendors are trying to increasing their share in the international
market.
More and more Chinese smart phone manufacturers may choose Qualcomm chipset,
because adopting more advanced chipset can improve the phone’s cost performance,
which will put MTK chipset in a disadvantaged position. In the second half year, Mi
phone transfer its processor from MTK to Qualcomm, which is the signal of MTK losing
its market share to Qualcomm. In fact, the market share of Chinese second and third
class mobile phone vendors has suffered decreasing, which causes the sharp decrease of MTK revenues in the 1Q of 2015. At the same time, most of the vendors continue to
focus on entry level and middle end Android smart phones to increase their market
share, because they can not compete with Apple in the high end market, which is a
opportunity for MTK.
Even though its revenue is lower than predicted in the 1Q, MTK is positive for its
business in 2015. Hsieh Ching-chiang says that 4G MTK chipset sales will double in 2015 and its revenue will increase to
20%.
