2021 global semiconductor industry capital expenditure will be nearly 150 billion U.S. dollars

The American Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) stated in its latest report that in 2021, the capital expenditure of the global semiconductor industry is expected to reach nearly 150 billion U.S. dollars, and it will exceed 150 billion U.S. dollars in 2022.

 

On the 29th, the American Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) stated in its latest report that in 2021, the capital expenditure of the global semiconductor industry is expected to reach nearly 150 billion U.S. dollars, and it will exceed 150 billion U.S. dollars in 2022.

 

It is reported that before 2021, the annual capital expenditure of the global semiconductor industry has never exceeded US$115 billion. SIA said that the global semiconductor industry is planning to meet the expected market growth in the next few years through record manufacturing and R&D investments.

 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more people work and study at home, leading to increased market demand for various semiconductor products such as chips used in smartphones and computers.

In addition, semiconductors have become an indispensable part of modern cars. They play an active role in engine management, temperature control, in-car entertainment, and collision safety. However, global supply shortages are causing auto brands to cut production.

 

In May of this year, the market research organization IDC stated that, driven by the continued strong growth of consumption, computing, 5G and automotive semiconductors, global semiconductor revenues are expected to surge 12.5% ​​in 2021 to reach US$522 billion.

 

In addition to global semiconductor revenues expected to grow in 2021, the scale of the global semiconductor materials market will also grow. In April this year, the International Semiconductor Industry Association (SEMI) stated that in 2021, the global semiconductor materials market will grow by 6% to reach 58.7 billion U.S. dollars.
