As an important participant in the global semiconductor industry, Chinese Mainland has made remarkable achievements in the field of semiconductor equIPMent investment in the past year. According to the latest statistical data from industry authoritative organization SEMI, the total sales of global semiconductor manufacturing equipment market slightly declined to $106.3 billion in 2023, a slight decrease of 1.3% compared to the historical high of $107.6 billion in 2022. In this slightly volatile market, the performance of Chinese Mainland is particularly outstanding.

In terms of regional investment, Chinese Mainland's expenditure on semiconductor equipment last year reached US $36.6 billion, up 29% year on year, accounting for more than one third of the global market, with a specific figure of 34.43%. The expansion of this investment scale shows the firm pace and strong confidence of Chinese Mainland in the semiconductor field.

In terms of technological process, Chinese Mainland particularly prefers to apply mature technologies above 28nm. At present, Chinese Mainland has accounted for 29% of the global production capacity in this field. In the face of changes in the international environment, especially the restrictions imposed by the United States on the export of advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment, Chinese Mainland is actively adjusting its strategy to focus more on investment in mature technology manufacturing processes. It is predicted that by 2027, the production capacity of mature technology processes is expected to reach 39%.

In terms of capacity growth, the semiconductor industry in Chinese Mainland also showed a strong momentum of development. In 2023, the production capacity of semiconductor manufacturers increased by 12% year-on-year, with a monthly production of 7.6 million wafers. Looking ahead, it is expected that by 2024, with the launch of 18 new projects, production capacity will further increase by 13%, and monthly wafer production will increase to 8.6 million pieces.

It can be seen that Chinese Mainland is catching up in the investment and capacity expansion of the semiconductor industry, contributing to the progress and innovation of the global semiconductor industry.
