Since the global financial crisis in 2009, the packaging and testing industries are going to enter the “nature-changing” stages of operation with low liability, accelerating consignment from Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDM), global market transferred to Mainland China, etc. Along with gradual recovery in global economy in 2010, packaging and testing service providers are equipped with the advantage of changing natures; therefore, the growth of business will exceed the overall semiconductor and wafer foundry industries. Semiconductor packaging and testing industries belong to mature industries. With the changes in the external environment, such as decreasing average selling prices affected by foreign exchange rate, gold price, and drop of final product selling prices, the profit of enterprises becomes lower year by year. As a result, packaging and testing service providers put all the effort into enlarging market shares to gain more profits. The competition among world-leading packaging and testing companies are getting intense. In addition, facing the rapidly growing market of packaging and testing in Mainland China, if those services providers could not operate business efficiently to keep competitive edges, their market shares will be affected and even go downward. The purpose of the research is to compare and analyze operation performances of world top three assembly and testing service providers by selecting eleven key indicators related to financial and operating performances to conduct such comparison and analysis as the reference for operation in assembly and testing industries. The research results demonstrate that there are obvious different outcomes for those aforementioned indicators. Afterwards, the rankings are complied based on those indicators. The research also provide operational strategic suggestions, which are regarded as focus of future improvement after identifying weak points in order to enhance self-competitiveness and achieve high operating performance.
