MILPITAS, Calif.<\/span><\/span>, April 10, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Worldwide sales of semiconductor manufacturing equipment increased 10% to $117.1 billion<\/span> in 2024 from $106.3 billion<\/span> in 2023, SEMI, the industry association representing the global electronics design and manufacturing supply chain, reported today. The data is now available in the Worldwide Semiconductor Equipment Market Statistics (WWSEMS)<\/a> report.<\/p>\n

In 2024, the global front-end semiconductor equipment market experienced notable growth, with sales of wafer processing equipment increasing by 9% and other front-end segments rising by 5%. This growth was largely fueled by heightened investments in expanding capacity for both leading-edge and mature logic, advanced packaging, and high-bandwidth memory (HBM), alongside a significant rise in investments from China<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The back-end equipment segment, after two consecutive years of decline, saw a robust recovery in 2024, driven by the increasing complexity and demands of AI and HBM manufacturing. Assembly and packaging equipment sales increased by 25%, while test equipment billings rose by 20% year-over-year, reflecting the industry’s push toward supporting advanced technologies.<\/p>\n

“The global semiconductor equipment market surged by 10% in 2024, rebounding from a slight dip in 2023 to reach an all-time high of $117 billion<\/span> in annual sales,” said Ajit Manocha<\/span>, SEMI President and CEO. “Industry spending on chipmaking equipment in 2024 reflects a dynamic landscape shaped by regional investment trends, technological advancements in logic and memory, and the rising demand for chips related to AI-driven applications.”<\/p>\n

Regionally, Mainland China<\/span>, Korea, and Taiwan<\/span><\/span> remained the top three markets for semiconductor equipment spending, collectively accounting for 74% of the global market. China<\/span> solidified its position as the largest semiconductor equipment market, with investments surging 35% year-over-year to $49.6 billion<\/span>, driven by aggressive capacity expansion and government-backed initiatives aimed at bolstering domestic chip production. Korea, the second-largest market, saw a modest 3% increase in equipment spending, reaching $20.5 billion<\/span>, as memory markets stabilized and demand for high-bandwidth memory soared. In contrast, Taiwan<\/span> experienced a 16% decline in equipment sales, falling to $16.6 billion<\/span>, reflecting a slowdown in demand for new capacity.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, North America<\/span> recorded a 14% rise in semiconductor equipment investments, reaching $13.7 billion<\/span>, driven by increased focus on domestic manufacturing and advanced technology nodes. The Rest of the World saw a 15% increase, with billings at $4.2 billion<\/span>, supported by emerging markets ramping up chip production. However, Europe<\/span> faced a significant 25% decline in equipment spending, falling to $4.9 billion<\/span>, due to weakened demand in the automotive and industrial sectors amid economic challenges. Japan<\/span> also saw a slight 1% dip, with sales at $7.8 billion<\/span>, as the region grappled with slower growth in key end markets.<\/p>\n

Compiled from data submitted by members of SEMI and the Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan<\/span> (SEAJ), the WWSEMS report is a summary of the monthly billings figures for the global semiconductor equipment industry.<\/p>\n
