According to the financial report released by Samsung Electronics, in the past 2021, the revenue of Samsung Electronics’ memory chip business reached 60.37 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 31%.
It is worth noting that Samsung Electronics’ main source of profit is the semiconductor business unit where the memory chip business is located. For the whole year 2021, Samsung Electronics’ operating profit will be 51.63 trillion won, and the profit of the semiconductor business unit will reach 29.2 trillion won, accounting for more than half.
It is worth noting that Samsung Electronics’ annual revenue in 2021 will be 279.6 trillion won, and the memory chip business will be 72.6 trillion yuan, which means that the memory business will generate more than half of its profits with a 26% revenue share.
Last year, although the global market suffered from frequent fluctuations in chip prices due to the epidemic and other factors, the overall trend was declining, but this did not affect the market’s demand for memory chips. Even the overall performance of another Korean manufacturer, SK Hynix, was very good.
