IBISWorld Platform
Answer any industry question in minutes with our entire database at your fingertips.
Global semiconductor manufacturers are experiencing a rising demand from downstream consumer electronics, automotive, computer and industrial machinery companies, as digital platform adoption and AI development have increased. Competition is rising globally, as the United States and Europe have made significant investments to catch up to Asian nations that lead in developing advanced 5nm and 3nm nodes. Despite the continuous increase in the need for chips, trade conflicts between the West and China, combined with economic disruptions, have led to supply chain inefficiencies, causing revenue to shrink at an expected CAGR of 1.2% to $1.8 trillion through the current period. A significant 24.7% drop in 2023 was attributed to economic slowdowns in regions such as the UK. In 2025, revenue returned to growth, increasing by 2.6%. Profit will total 5.4% of revenue in 2025.
