✅ Global Semiconductor Sales in 2023 -8.8% YoY When will Samsung Electronics be able to properly keep up?
1️⃣ Global semiconductor industry’s sales decline 📉
In 2023, sales in the global semiconductor industry fell 8.8% due to a slowdown in corporate and consumer spending. As a result, the overall semiconductor sales ranking for 2023 has also undergone a major shift. Samsung’s declining memory sector and sluggish smartphone business have caused changes, with Intel reclaiming the top spot from Samsung.
2️⃣ Positive impact of AI 👍
AI delivered positive news to the semiconductor industry. Especially in the second half of the year, it emerged as a key content and revenue generator. NVIDIA was the biggest beneficiary, and AMD also plans to grow its AI-related business.
3️⃣ Semiconductor market trends in 2023 🔍
2023 was a year when semiconductor companies adjusted their strategies and outlooks and managed inventory adjustments in preparation for the AI boom. Only six of the world’s top 20 semiconductor suppliers saw year-on-year sales growth, especially in the memory sector, which suffered strong headwinds. In addition, the top 20 global semiconductor suppliers accounted for 71% of the market.
4️⃣ Decline in sales of major companies 📉
Intel regained the top spot in the 2023 semiconductor sales rankings, but sales fell 16% due to lower shipments in the PC and server sectors. Samsung was also heavily affected by DRAM and NAND sectors, which led to a 38% drop in sales. SK Hynix and Micron also reported significant sales declines of 33% and 36%, respectively.
5️⃣ AI adoption and market outlook 🚀
In 2023, Nvidia was in the spotlight for accelerating the adoption of AI. Along with its growth in the general-purpose GPU market, Nvidia ranked third in terms of revenue. In addition, the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to continue in 2024, and will also be a market driver due to content growth in the automotive sector.
