The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) announced global semiconductor
industry sales totaled $526.8 billion in 2023, a decrease of 8.2% compared to the 2022
total of $574.1 billion, which was the industry's highest-ever annual total. Sales picked
up during the second half of 2023. In fact, fourth-quarter sales of $146.0 billion were
11.6% more than the total from the fourth quarter of 2022 and 8.4% higher than the
total from third quarter of 2023. And global sales for the month of December 2023
were $48.6 billion, an increase of 1.5% compared to November 2023 total. Monthly
sales are compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization
and represent a three-month moving average. SIA represents 99% of the U.S.
semiconductor industry by revenue and nearly two-thirds of non-U.S. chip firms.
On a regional basis, Europe was the only regional market that experienced
annual growth in 2023, with sales there increasing 4.0%. Annual sales into all other
regional markets decreased in 2023: Japan (-3.1%), the Americas (-5.2%), Asia-
Pacific/All Other (-10.1%), and China (-14.0%). Sales for the month of December 2023
increased compared to November 2023 in China (4.7%), the Americas (1.8%), and Asia
Pacific/All Other (0.3%), but decreased in Japan (-2.4%) and Europe (-3.9%).
Several semiconductor product segments stood out in 2023. Sales of logic
products totaled $178.5 billion in 2023, making it the largest product category by sales.
Memory products were second in terms of sales, totaling $92.3 billion. Microcontroller
units (MCUs) grew by 11.4% to a total of $27.9 billion. And sales of automotive ICs
grew by 23.7% year-over-year to a record total of $42.2 billion.
Global economic slowdowns and capes overspend were catalysts for producing
an oversupply of semiconductors and an equipment meltdown in 2023. A significant
capacity expansion is underway as current fabs expand and new fabs are planned.
A push by the Biden administration to invest $50 billion on domestic
manufacturing facilities to improve US self-sufficiency and reduce reliance on Asia has
initiated a course that will likely result in oversupply and capacity expansion:
