SEMI: Global semiconductor equipment sales are expected to reach $87 billion in 2023

July 14, 2023 /SemiMedia/ — In keeping with SEMI, world gross sales of whole Semiconductor manufacturing gear by authentic gear producers subsequent 12 months are forecast to bounce again from a projected contraction of 18.6% to $87.4 billion in 2023 following the trade report of $107.4 billion in 2022. The anticipated $100 billion restoration in 2024 might be pushed by each front-end and back-end segments.

“Regardless of present headwinds, the semiconductor gear market is ready to see a powerful rebound in 2024 after an adjustment in 2023 following a historic multi-year run,” stated Ajit Manocha, SEMI president and CEO. “Projections for strong long-term development pushed by high-performance computing and ubiquitous connectivity stay intact.”

Semiconductor Tools Gross sales by Phase

Gross sales of wafer fab gear, which incorporates wafer processing, fab services and masks/reticle gear, are projected to lower 18.8% to $76.4 billion in 2023 – greater than the 16.8% decline predicted by SEMI within the 2022 year-end forecast. The wafer fab gear section is projected to account for the majority of the restoration to $100 billion in 2024, producing $87.8 billion in gross sales, a 14.8% enhance.

The 2022 decline in back-end gear section gross sales is predicted to proceed in 2023 resulting from difficult macroeconomic circumstances and softening semiconductor demand. Semiconductor check gear market gross sales are projected to contract by 15% to $6.4 billion in 2023, whereas meeting and packaging gear gross sales are anticipated to drop by 20.5% to $4.6 billion in the identical 12 months. Nonetheless, the check gear and meeting and packaging gear segments are anticipated to develop by 7.9% and 16.4%, respectively, in 2024.

Semiconductor Tools Gross sales by Utility

Tools gross sales for foundry and logic purposes, accounting for greater than half of whole wafer fab gear receipts, are anticipated to drop 6% year-over-year to $50.1 billion in 2023, reflecting softer end-market circumstances. Demand for modern foundry and logic in 2023 is predicted to stay steady, with a slight softening balanced out by an increase in spending on mature nodes. Foundry and logic investments are projected to extend 3% in 2024.

DRAM gear gross sales are anticipated to fall 28% to $8.8 billion in 2023 resulting from persevering with weak client and enterprise demand for reminiscence and storage however rebound 31% to $11.6 billion in 2024. NAND gear gross sales are projected to lower 51% to $8.4 billion in 2023 and surge 59% to $13.3 billion in 2024.
