Strong growth for global semiconductor manufacturing industry in Q3-2024

Full Article

The global semiconductor manufacturing industry experienced significant growth in Q3 2024, with all key indicators showing positive quarter-on-quarter increases for the first time in two years. This growth is primarily driven by seasonal factors and robust demand stemming from investments in AI data centers. Despite this momentum, the consumer, automotive, and industrial segments are recovering at a slower pace.

Electronic sales rebounded with an 8% increase in Q3 2024, and a projected 20% rise is expected in Q4 2024. Integrated circuit (IC) sales also saw a 12% increase in Q3, with forecasts suggesting a further 10% growth in Q4. The semiconductor capital expenditures are turning positive, indicating a strong recovery trajectory for the industry.

• AI investments significantly boost semiconductor manufacturing growth.

• Memory products drive over 20% increase in IC sales for 2024.
