Industry position
Arm designs and licenses CPU architecture and IP rather than manufacturing chips, serving semiconductor companies, OEMs, and cloud service providers as a neutral platform that supplies competing customers including AWS, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm. As of March 2025, cumulative Arm-based chips shipped exceeded 310 billion, and its architecture has long held over 99% of the smartphone application processor market, which contributed about 46% of total royalty revenue in fiscal 2025. Its main competing architectures are x86 and RISC-V.
