Do you have any idea about the market share of ARM based microcontroller?

Hi,

I'm curious about the market share of ARM based microcontroller(Texas,NXP,ST,Atmel.....). Because I believe that it could be very good to choose the
best option for developers' plan.

Could you propose any information or graphs?

Thanks.

arm.com tells

Today ARM technology is used in more than 95% of the world’s mobile handsets and over one-quarter of all electronic devices.

As I understand, this answer is not obvious.Maybe vendors know the market share.

I suspect the answer depends heavily on the final application. All the various ARM families have the features and price point which make it a viable solution for a particular application. Although, I would imagine the various ARM lines used in cell/smart phones, by the sheer number of phones produced, hold a large share of the market.

And it should also be noted the actual ARM architecture is owned and licensed by ARM, Ltd. All the vendors you mentioned are licensees of the ARM architecture.
