TOKYO<\/span>, Dec. 13, 2022<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Global sales of total semiconductor manufacturing equipment by original equipment manufacturers are forecast to reach a new high of $108.5 billion<\/span> in 2022, rising 5.9% from the previous industry record of $102.5 billion<\/span> in 2021, SEMI announced today in its Year-End Total Semiconductor Equipment Forecast \u2013 OEM Perspective<\/i> at SEMICON Japan 2022<\/a>. The record high caps three consecutive years of record revenue. The global total semiconductor manufacturing equipment market is expected to contract to $91.2 billion<\/span> next year before rebounding in 2024 driven by both the front-end and back-end segments.<\/p>\n

“Record fab constructions have driven total semiconductor manufacturing equipment sales to cross the $100 billion<\/span> mark for a second straight year,” said Ajit Manocha<\/span>, SEMI president and CEO. “Emerging applications in multiple markets have set expectations for significant semiconductor industry growth this decade, which will necessitate further investments to expand production capacity.”<\/p>\n

Semiconductor Equipment Sales by Segment     <\/b><\/p>\n

The wafer fab equipment segment, which includes wafer processing, fab facilities, and mask\/reticle equipment, is projected to expand 8.3% to a new industry record of $94.8 billion<\/span> in 2022, followed by a 16.8% contraction to $78.8<\/span> in 2023 billion before rebounding 17.2% to $92.4 billion<\/span> in 2024.<\/p>\n

Equipment sales in the foundry and logic segment, accounting for more than half of total wafer fab equipment receipts, are expected to rise 16% year-over-year to $53.0 billion<\/span> in 2022 as demand for both leading-edge and mature nodes remains strong. Foundry and logic investments are projected to decrease in 2023, leading to an expected 9% drop in sales across the segment.<\/p>\n

As enterprise and consumer demand for memory and storage weakens, DRAM equipment sales are expected to fall 10% to $14.3 billion<\/span> in 2022 and 25% to $10.8 billion<\/span> in 2023, while NAND equipment sales  are projected to drop 4% to $19.0 billion<\/span> in 2022 and 36% to $12.2 billion<\/span> in 2023.<\/p>\n

Challenging macroeconomic and semiconductor industry conditions are expected to spark a decline in back-end equipment segment sales. After registering robust 30% growth in 2021, semiconductor test equipment market sales are forecast to slip 2.6% to $7.6 billion<\/span> in 2022 and 7.3% to $7.1 billion<\/span> in 2023. Following an 87% surge in 2021, assembly and packaging equipment sales are projected to drop by 14.9% to $6.1 billion<\/span> in 2022 and 13.3% to $5.3 billion<\/span> in 2023. Back-end equipment expenditures are expected to improve in 2024 with growth of 15.8% and 24.1%, respectively, in the test equipment and assembly and packaging equipment segments.<\/p>\n

Semiconductor Equipment Sales by Region<\/b><\/p>\n

Mainland China<\/span>, Taiwan<\/span> and Korea are projected to remain the top three destinations for equipment spending in 2022. Mainland China<\/span> is projected to maintain the top position next year after claiming it for the first time in 2020, while Taiwan<\/span> is expected to regain the lead in 2024. Equipment spending for all regions tracked, except Korea, are expected to grow in 2022, though most will see a decrease in 2023 before returning to growth in 2024.<\/p>\n
