Analog Devices (Symbol: ADI) - Major Customers

Analog Devices (ADI) primarily sells its high-performance analog, mixed-signal, and digital signal processing integrated circuits (ICs) to other companies (B2B) rather than directly to individuals. Their products are essential components integrated into a vast array of electronic systems.

ADI serves a highly diversified global customer base across numerous industries. The company consistently states that no single customer accounts for more than 10% of its net revenue, which means there are no "major customers" in the sense of a dominant, single buyer. Instead, ADI's components are designed into products by thousands of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and original design manufacturers (ODMs) across its key end markets.

While ADI does not disclose specific major customers due to the breadth and confidentiality of its customer relationships, its products are widely adopted by leading companies within the following key sectors. The companies listed below are prominent public examples within ADI's target markets that commonly utilize high-performance analog and mixed-signal components for their products and systems:
