MILPITAS, Calif. – August 15, 2023 – With sequential IC sales declines beginning to moderate, the global semiconductor industry appears to be nearing the end of a downcycle and is expected to begin to recover in 2024, SEMI, in partnership with TechInsights, reported in the Semiconductor Manufacturing Monitor. In Q3 2023, electronics sales are projected to post healthy quarter-on-quarter growth of 10%, while memory IC sales are expected to log double-digit growth for the first time since the downturn started in Q3 2022. Logic IC sales are predicted to remain stable and improve as demand gradually recovers.

Headwinds will continue for the semiconductor manufacturing sector in the second half of the year, SEMI and TechInsights reported. Drawdowns of high inventory at integrated device manufacturer (IDM) and fabless companies will continue to suppress fab utilization rates to much lower levels than those in the first half of 2023. The weakness is projected to extend declines in capital equipment billings and silicon shipments for the rest of the year despite stable results in the first half of 2023.

Market indicators point to a semiconductor industry bottoming at the end of the first half of 2023, and the industry has since started a recovery, setting the stage for continued growth in 2024. All segments are projected to log year-over-year increases in 2024, with electronics sales surpassing its 2022 peak.

“The slower-than-expected demand recovery will delay the normalization of inventory until the end of 2023, later than we previously anticipated, leading to additional reductions in fab utilization rates in the short term,” said Clark Tseng, Senior Director of Market Intelligence at SEMI. “However, recent trends suggest that the worst is over for ICs. We anticipate semiconductor manufacturing will bottom in Q1 2024.”

“While semiconductor markets have seen a sharp downturn the last four quarters, equipment sales and fab construction have been performing much better than expected,” said Boris Metodiev, Director of Market Analysis at TechInsights. “Government incentives have been driving new fab projects and strong backlogs have helped equipment sales.”

The Semiconductor Manufacturing Monitor (SMM) report provides end-to-end data on the worldwide semiconductor manufacturing industry. The report highlights key trends based on industry indicators including capital equipment, fab capacity, and semiconductor and electronics sales, and includes a capital equipment market forecast. The SMM report also contains two years of quarterly data and a one-quarter outlook for the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain including leading IDM, fabless, foundry, and OSAT companies. An SMM subscription includes quarterly reports.

India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) Provides Key Endorsement of Event

AHMEDABAD, India and MILPITAS, Calif. – July 29, 2023 – SEMI today announced its intent to support the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) in creating a vibrant semiconductor manufacturing and design ecosystem in India. The collaboration would build on the successful execution of ISM’s two editions of SemiconIndia and continue SEMI’s tradition of bringing together stakeholders in the global end-to-end semiconductor ecosystem. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is under development.

SEMI is in discussions with Electronic Industries Association of India (ELCINA) and Messe München India (MMI) as key partners to stage its flagship event.

The ISM has noted that SEMICON India would be highly complementary to efforts by the government of India to advance the domestic semiconductor ecosystem and connect to the global industry.

“For more than 50 years, the SEMICON platform has connected companies from across the global semiconductor industry to uncover new business opportunities, gain insights into market and technology trends, and collaborate to drive innovation and address top electronics industry challenges,” said Ajit Manocha, SEMI President and CEO. “With SEMI recognized worldwide as a key enabler of industry growth, the establishment of SEMICON India marks a significant step forward for the region.”

The partnership will give Indian semiconductor and electronics companies access to more than 2,500 SEMI member companies across the global semiconductor and electronics manufacturing and design supply chain. Additionally, SEMICON India will provide a platform for stakeholder participation in critical SEMI initiatives across areas including Workforce Development, Sustainability and Supply Chain Management to advance industry growth.

“India is all set as the next destination on the global map for semiconductor manufacturing,” said Bhupinder Singh, CEO of Messe München India. “We applaud initiatives by the India Semiconductor Mission to establish semiconductor design, manufacturing, packaging, capacity building as well as R&D in the region. Messe München India looks forward to work with SEMI to organize SEMICON India in collaboration with ELCINA, a partnership that is a natural extension of the longstanding work between Messe München and SEMI to stage events in Europe and China. Staying true to our purpose of enabling meaningful handshakes and unlocking business opportunities. This platform will integrate upstream and downstream value chains for wafer fabs and OSATs and help the India semiconductor and electronics industry become more self-reliant.”

"The semiconductor industry has taken centre stage in the electronic systems design and manufacturing ecosystem,” said Sanjay Agarwal, President of ELCINA and Managing Director at Globe Capacitors Ltd. “The industry is a strategic, vital enabler of economic growth in India. Coming together with SEMI as our partner is of great value as together we can strengthen the semiconductor industry in India and become a trusted partner to chip companies worldwide. We look forward to working with SEMI and leveraging our existing partnership with Messe München to make SEMICON India a grand success.”

MILPITAS, Calif. — July 25, 2023 — Worldwide silicon wafer shipments increased 2.0% quarter-over-quarter to 3,331 million square inches in the second quarter of 2023, down 10.1% from the 3,704 million square inches recorded during the same quarter last year, the SEMI Silicon Manufacturers Group (SMG) reported in its quarterly analysis of the silicon wafer industry.

“The semiconductor industry continues to work through excess inventory in various market segments, necessitating that fabs operate below full capacity,” said Anna-Riikka Vuorikari-Antikainen, Chairman of SEMI SMG and Chief Commercial Officer at Okmetic. “As a result, silicon wafer shipments are lagging their 2022 peak. Second-quarter wafer shipments held steady quarter-on-quarter with 300mm showing quarterly growth among all wafer sizes.”

Silicon Area Shipment Trends – Semiconductor Applications Only

Silicon wafers are the fundamental building material for the majority of semiconductors, which are vital components of all electronic devices. The highly engineered thin disks are produced in diameters of up to 12 inches and serve as the substrate material on which most semiconductors are fabricated.

The SMG is a sub-committee of the SEMI Electronic Materials Group (EMG) and is open to SEMI members involved in manufacturing polycrystalline silicon, monocrystalline silicon or silicon wafers (e.g., as cut, polished, epi). The SMG facilitates collective efforts on issues related to the silicon industry including the development of market information and statistics about the silicon industry and the semiconductor market.
