ASE led the ranking with revenue of $18.54 billion with nearly a 45% share. Amkor wasc second with $6.32 billion in revenue (-2.8% YoY). JCET took third place with $5 billion in revenue (+19.3% YoY). Fourth-ranked Tongfu Microelectronics recorded $3.32 billion in revenue (+5.6% YoY). Powertech Technology came in fifth with $2.28 billion revenue (+1% YoY). Growth was limited by the absence of a significant rebound in memory packaging/testing and the ongoing transition phase in advanced packaging.
