Semiconductor Machinery Manufacturing in the US industry analysis

Despite oscillating consumer sentiment, demand conditions for semiconductor machinery manufacturing have remained mainly positive during the current period. Although employee lockdowns across Asia and supply chain inefficiencies have damaged operations during the current period, revenue has ultimately increased at a CAGR of 6.8% due to the unprecedented need for electronics. Record prices for semiconductor components and federal government support to mitigate the global chip shortage have significantly benefited the semiconductor manufacturing industry. Though operators have dealt with numerous supply chain disruptions, they have also benefited from downstream demand for smaller and more powerful chips. After significantly decelerating due to lockdowns in Asia, industry revenue growth has steadily grown during 2023 and is forecast to increase 4.3% during 2024. Overall, aggressive government investment in the sector combined with evolving demand conditions has led to industry revenue rising to $34.8 billion and a profit margin of 6.5%.

Trends and Insights

  • The U.S. is ramping up semiconductor manufacturing. The CHIPS Act aims to re-establish the U.S. as a leader in the semiconductor industry. Arizona is emerging as a major hub with new fabrication plant projects demanding industry products.
  • EUV Lithography is pushing chip technology to new heights. It's exclusively produced by ASML and promises faster, cooler, and more power-efficient chips, except in China where the technology is banned.
  • Silicon Valley remains the tech industry's epicenter. It's packed with technology offices, making it the go-to place for chip production equipment manufacturers who want to be close to their biggest clients and key shipping ports to Asia.
  • Entering the chip manufacturing market is extremely costly. Prospective players need hefty capital before they even sell a machine, as manufacturing tolerances are incredibly precise and demand unique, expensive tools and software.
