Over the five years through 2025, revenue for the Semiconductor Manufacturing industry is expected to grow at an annualized 3.4% per year, to $108.4 billion. This includes anticipated growth of 5.0% in the current year. Industry growth slowed down in 2020 and 2022 affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. In 2021, with the prevention and control of the epidemic and economic recovery, industry revenue has rebounded in 2021, up by 21.1% from 2020. In 2023, industry revenue decreased by 13.4% due to weakened downstream demand and sluggish global markets.Semiconductor devices are widely used in fields of consumer electronics, automotive electronics, communication, computer, and others. Industry growth mainly comes from the downstream demand and technological innovation. With the rapid development of fields like 5G communication, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and new energy vehicles, the performance requirements for semiconductor devices continue to increase, promoting technological progress and product updates within the industry. Meanwhile, national support from the Government has provided a favorable development environment and opportunities for the industry.International trade is very important to the Semiconductor Manufacturing industry in China. In 2025, exports will account for 40.2% of industry revenue, to total $43.6 billion. Competing imports are expected to total an estimated $27.2 billion in 2025 and account for 29.6% of domestic demand. The industry is promoting domestic replacement of imports to reduce its reliance on foreign products. Imports as a share of domestic demand has decreased over the past five years.A large proportion of companies involved in the industry are small or medium in and the majority of semiconductors manufactured by Chinese enterprises are mid- to low-end products with lower technology. To better satisfy domestic demand, leading domestic manufacturers have enhanced their research and development (R&D) capabilities and expand output of high-end products.ACMR-IBISWorld forecasts that in the next five years, industry revenue will increase 4.0% annually to $131.9 billion in 2030. The main drivers of industry growth will be gradual growth in demand from downstream domestic industries and increasing demand for the industry's exports. In addition to traditional fields such as consumer electronics and network communication, emerging fields like new energy vehicles, smart grids, and industrial control will also become important markets for the industry’s products.
