Chinese Mainland will become the second largest semiconductor equipment market in the world
The survey report released by the International Semiconductor Industry Association (semi) estimates that the global market size will reach US $49.4 billion this year, a year-on-year increase of 19.7%, which is another record. At the same time, it estimates that Chinese Mainland will overtake Taiwan, China as the world's second largest market next year, which will provide a development foundation for China's creation.
In the past few years, Taiwan, China of China has become the largest semiconductor equipment market in the world, and it has maintained this position with the help of TSMC, the world's largest semiconductor OEM enterprise, MediaTek, the world's second largest mobile phone chip enterprise, and Sunmoon, the global leader in IC packaging and testing. However, in recent years, it has faced many challenges brought by the rapid development of South Korea and Chinese Mainland.
SEMI said that the fastest growth this year will be South Korea, which has the world's top two DRA M chip companies Samsung and SK Hynix. These two companies are also the world's largest and fourth largest NAND flash companies. Driven by the continuous rise in the prices of DRAM and NAND flash, the semiconductor sales in this country will surge 68.7% year on year, reaching US $12.97 billion, It will be the first time in five years that it has overtaken Taiwan, China to become the largest semiconductor equipment market in the world.
