• TechInsights: Semiconductor and electronics IP research firm offering teardowns, technology analysis, and subscription reports. Highly comparable in the semiconductor reverse-engineering and advanced packaging research space.
• Canalys (now part of Omdia): Technology market research firm covering smartphones, PCs, cloud, and channels with subscription research. Comparable B2B audience and recurring research delivery, particularly for ICT and device shipment analysis.
• Counterpoint Research: Technology market research firm specializing in smartphones, components, semiconductors, and emerging tech. Comparable subscription-driven research model and focus on supply chain and component-level intelligence.
• The Information: Subscription-based technology news outlet focused on tech industry reporting with a paywall model. Comparable as a subscription-driven tech news platform targeting professional readers, though with a US-centric editorial focus.

Emerging players

• SemiAnalysis: Subscription-based independent research publication focused on semiconductors, AI infrastructure, and compute. Comparable as a paid, expert-authored research outlet increasingly capturing AI infrastructure mindshare from traditional research firms.
