MediaTek was about 42% of Taiwan integrated-circuit design revenue; top three were about 59%.
Taiwan’s semiconductor story is often told through manufacturing, but integrated-circuit (IC) design is also large and concentrated. MediaTek’s scale gives the sector a clear flagship firm, while Realtek and Novatek add meaningful breadth. The concentration statistic separates Taiwan’s design ecosystem from its foundry ecosystem and shows where corporate scale sits inside the fabless layer.

Company revenue recognition and sector classification may differ. Novatek value is source-labelled through annual-report source path plus market data; verify exact annual-report table before final production.
Company revenue uses 2024 annual reports or company reporting. Sector revenue uses Taiwan Semiconductor Industry Association / Industrial Technology Research Institute 2024 integrated-circuit design revenue. Top-three share equals MediaTek plus Realtek plus Novatek revenue divided by total sector revenue.
Company revenues and the sector total come from separate sources. Shares are therefore source-labelled even though the source quality is strong.
