In 2023,the global semiconductor industry is facing a complicated operating environment affected by weak end market demand and continuous inventory adjustment. It denotes the start of a downward industrial cycle for the semiconductor market. According to the latest forecast report released by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS),due to the weak demand from smartphones and personal computers,the two major semiconductor downstream sectors,the global semiconductor sales forecast for 2023 is significantly revised downwards to USD515.095 billion,representing a decrease of 10.3% as compared to 2022,which is the first contraction since 2019. However,WSTS also points out that the demand in artificial intelligence (AI),industry,automotive electronics and other fields remains strong,which can make up for the weak demand for semiconductors in the consumer field. WSTS forecasts that global semiconductor sales will increase by 11.8% year-on-year to USD575.997 billion in 2024 and hitting a record high.According to the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI),it is estimated that global sales of SME by OEMs in 2023 will decrease to USD87.4 billion,representing a decrease of 18.6%. A strong rebound to USD100 billion is expected in 2024.
On the other hand,artificial intelligence (AI) will be a key area of the High-tech industry. The development and coopetition of the global semiconductor industry will remain in a state of change and complexity. The Group will pay close attention to the changes in the market environment,respond to market changes in a prudent and prompt manner to seize development opportunities,and actively explore market development opportunities.
Mr. Yang Ming-Hsiang,Chairman and Chief Executive Officer concluded: "In general,there is a differentiation in the consumer and industry,automotive electronics fields of the global semiconductor market. The growth in sectors including telecommunications,consumer electronics and data centers will slow down in the coming years due to the weak demand in the consumer sector caused by inflation and rising interest rates. Benefiting from the booming emerging industries such as new energy vehicles,autonomous vehicles (ADAS) industry,high performance computing (HPC),cloud infrastructure investment,industrial automation,artificial intelligence (AI),Internet of Things ("IoT"),metaverse and wearable devices,there will be a strong demand,driving a strong growth in automotive semiconductors and industrial semiconductors. The Group will increase its efforts in talent exploration,strengthen its innovation and R & D capabilities,and improve the core competitiveness of the Group to further expand market share and create long-term value for shareholders.
