Despite heavy embargoes imposed by the USA, on the contrary, China continues to grow in the chip industry. The country, which almost plundered the second most products not included in the embargo, increases its production capacity.
China’s leader in chip spending
According to the market research conducted by SEMI, China spent $29.62 billion in chips last year and became the leader with an increase of 58 percent. A significant portion of these expenditures consists of second-hand casting equipment.
giant chip move from China
South Korea, where chip giants such as Samsung and SK Hynix spent a total of 24.98 billion dollars and showed an increase of 55 percent. Taiwan, on the other hand, increased its spending by 45 percent with $24.94 billion. The booming spending of the 3 countries that already have the largest capacity in the industry is not surprising.
Then there is a big difference in the list. Japan, the major chip equipment manufacturers, spent a total of $7.8 billion. The North American region spent $7.61 billion, while Europe spent $3.25 billion. The overall market, on the other hand, increased by 44 percent with an expenditure of 102 billion dollars.
The figures are expected to increase further this year as investments intensified during this period and many new facilities are expected to be laid or commissioned. However, it would not be wrong to say that the dominance will still be in the first 3 countries.
