IC Insights and Omdia both publish some free snippets and press releases that give you rough share numbers — worth Googling before each earnings season. I also cross-reference quarterly earnings calls from TI, STMicro, NXP, and Renesas since they often drop revenue breakdowns by segment that let you piece together share estimates yourself. It's a bit manual but honestly gets you 80% of the way there for MCU.
