Relevant industry dynamics are discussed and highlighted. IDC also provides its opinion on ARM including the company's outlook and influence in the overall embedded landscape. This Vendor Profile is part of the Small Vendor Profile (SVP) Series, a special IDC initiative from IDC's storage hardware, storage software, semiconductor, and compliance infrastructure groups. The goal of the SVP Series is to profile smaller but influential suppliers within these IDC services. Every client of at least one IDC service within one of the IDC groups listed will receive each vendor profile, regardless of which analyst authors the profile. The SVP Series runs from October 2008 through September 2009.

On October 20, 2008, Texas Instruments announced its 3Q08 financial results, which revealed rapidly deteriorating semiconductor demand overall and significant changes and restructuring for its wireless chipset business over the upcoming quarters. TI acted on its cautious outlook by reducing its foundry utilization by 10% during the quarter to draw down channel inventory levels in anticipation of continued slow demand. TI expects that the fourth quarter will see a 10% decline in revenue on a quarter-on-quarter basis, including its calculator business. Most surprisingly, TI announced that with its restructuring plans, it will seek to sell its merchant baseband processor business and focus on applications processors in the smartphone and feature phone segments, and thereby improve margins and focus longer term on the analog and embedded processing businesses, which offer higher potential top-line growth and stronger overall margins.

This means that more trade activities and more SMEs will come out in the near future. As the number of new paying customers is increasing, more value-added services (VASs) are provided. SMEs will gradually play a noticeable role in the development of the B2B market.
