SFTBY - Arm lost smartphone and tablet GPU market share in 2020 - Strategy Analytics

SoftBank's ([[SFTBF]],[[SFTBY]]) Arm chip unit led the global smartphone and table GPU market last year with a 39% market share, according to new data from research firm Strategy Analytics. But Arm's market share was down on the prior year in a trend that could continue."Arm's smartphone and table GPU share peaked in 2016 and has declined steadily since then. Trade sanctions on its key GPU licensee HiSilicon and competitive pressure from Apple and Imagination affected Arm’s Mali-branded GPU shipments and market share in 2020. Arm’s other licensee, Samsung LSI, will field AMD GPU-based Exynos chips in 2021, further affecting Arm’s share," says Sravan Kundojjala, Associate Director of Strategy Analytics’ Handset Component Technologies service.Nvidia (NVDA) offered to buy Arm from SoftBank for $40 billion, but the deal recently hit a hurdle when the UK lodged a formal objection citing national security and antitrust concerns.
