In Q3 2023, the semiconductor manufacturing equipment industry faced its most substantial global sales decline in four years, marking a consecutive quarter of contraction, reports the Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan (SEAJ) in collaboration with the International Semiconductor Industry Association (SEMI). Global chip equipment sales dropped by 11% to USD 25.6 billion compared to the same period last year. Taiwan’s market saw a sharp decline of nearly 50%, with sales dwindling to USD 3.77 billion, the highest contraction among the top 6 markets.
