It will be necessary to monitor the sectors of activity targeted by the products developed by this company, including electric vehicles, computers, telephony and new technologies in general.

The strategy implemented by the group to expand its presence in certain strategic markets and internationally will also be interesting to use.

It also needs to keep an eye on its raw material supply in order to respond effectively to the growing market demand for semiconductors.

Competition is also growing and getting stronger in this industry and you need to assess the impact of major announcements and events from these big players on the industry and on NXP.

It will also be important to monitor the strategic partnerships that the company has established with other groups in order to improve its growth.

Finally, the financial results published by the Group should be reviewed annually and quarterly, comparing them with previous results, analysts' expectations and targets.

The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is the largest independent semiconductor foundry. It produces, among other things, graphics cards from NVidia and systems on a Snapdragon chip from Qualcomm or chips from Apple.

NVidia Corporation 

This American company is also specialized in the design of graphics processors, graphics cards and graphics chips. But its particularity is that it subcontracts the production of its chips to other companies.

AMD 

Advanced Micro Devices is another major American manufacturer of semiconductors, microprocessors and graphics cards.

Amazon Web Services

First and foremost and in 2020, the group has signed a partnership agreement with Amazon Web Services with the aim of connecting cars to the cloud. In fact and as part of this agreement, the NXP Semiconductors group will develop and produce a new chip that will guarantee the transfer of data from the automotive system to the Amazon center through the Internet for more efficient operation.

Kalray

Earlier, in 2019, NXP signed a strategic partnership with the French group Kalray. This company is indeed a pioneer in processors related to new intelligent systems. Through this partnership, the two companies intend to combine NXP's advanced and secure driver assistance solutions with Kalray's MPPA processors. The two partners will develop a central computing platform based on safety. NXP will contribute its S32 processors for the most sensitive operations that meet ASIL-D and ASIL-B safety standards and target trajectory planning functions. Kalray will contribute the performance of its MPPA processors to safely manage critical functions such as artificial intelligence processing and perception of the vehicle environment.
