AMD Threat of New Entrants Global Semiconductor Industry – Highly Competitive Influencing by Tech Giants : It is estimated that in 2023, industry of semiconductor will reach to US $ 599.8 billion. Also in 2023, the largest segment in the market is Integrated Circuits with an estimated value of US $ 488.8 billion. By 2027, revenue is expected to grow annually at the rate of 8.09%, which will result in volume of US$818.6 billion. The Industry is leading by Samsung with a market share of 10.9% while Intel is having a market share of 9.7%.The other following companies are SK Hynix with 6%,Qualcomm with 5.8%,Micron Technologies with 4.6%,Broadcom with 4% and AMD with 3.9% market share as of Year2022. In such situation entry from new entrant is tough especially when it is highly penetrated by tech giants. Investment in Research & Development- Product Innovation Leading Challenge: The product research and development is very important especially AMD is facing tough competition from Intel and NVIDIA in product innovation and design mentioned by AMD in their Annual Report. The Research and Development cost is US$ 2.84 billion in FY 2021 and US$ 1.98 in FY2020 an increase of US$ approx. US$ 0.8 billion which is 43% respectively. The R&D expenses targeted to product development and high skilled employee incentive. In such situation even any new start up need a launching pick up which only these giants can provide only. AMD Bargaining Power of Suppliers Supplier Industry Influence:There are a significant number of suppliers in the industry. Moreover, AMD is large in size, due to Which AMD is a significant customer to the suppliers, resulting in low bargaining power of suppliers within the industry. Suppliers Collaboration: The Company has suppliers collaboration with entities all around the world. Approximately 26% of the company’s spend is with approximately 33suppliers, providing direct materials to the company, 61% of the company’s spend is with global companies producing semiconductors and approximately 26% of the company’s spend is with approximately 2700 companies, providing indirect materials. AMD Bargaining Power of Buyers Customer Satisfaction and Customer Base - After Sales Services Wide RangeConsistency in the retention of market share is possible through continuous innovation and satisfying customers by meeting their needs. Therefore; the company should continue to innovate and make products as per the demands of its customers. There is a wide range of support and after sales services providing by AMD including Downloading of Drivers and Software, Warranty Support, Product Specifications, Community Support, AMD Software Help Center, AMD Rewards Help Center, AMD Product Security, AMD Xilin Product Support and AMD Pensado Product Support. Even for x86 computer processor test customer share of AMD has been increased from 33.6% to 35.2% from Q3 2022 to Q4 2022.While Intel is still leading in this category by acquiring the market share from 63.7% to 62.8% from Q3 to Q4 2022. High Switching Cost: Most of the hardware and software of computer depend on chips of computers. Therefore; switching to adifferent product will resultantly require changes and will also be costly. Hence bargaining power of consumers is low due to high switching cost. Threat of Substitute Products or Services Low availability of substitutes: As a result of low availability and accessibility of substitutes, there is low threat of the same. Therefore; even if the consumes want to use other similar products, they cannot, because of difficulty in finding the same. Brand Loyalty: As AMD, is one of the leaders of market and also has huge share of market, therefore; the risk of substitute is quiet low because of high investment by the company in research and development. Therefore; only high quality products are offered by the company, so any replacement in the form of substitute can only happen at the cost of loyalty of brand. AMD also succeeds in competing Intel CPU market in Benelux during 201 and 2019 as AMD’s market share of Ryzen increased from 10% to 43% in 2019 reported as March 31, 2023.
