In 2023, the global economic situation was dynamic and unpredictable. The continuing Russia–Ukraine war, the rise of Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the escalating Sino-U.S. technology war, interest rate hikes in major economies and recovery of China’s economy below market expectation resulted in sluggish economy in general, leading to weak demand in semiconductor end markets such as personal computers and smartphones. The global semiconductor market has entered an industry downturn. Nevertheless, benefiting from the strong growth of artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), automotive semiconductors and industrial semiconductors, together with the signs of improvement in end market consumption activities, the global semiconductor industry has rebounded after hitting the rock bottom in the second half of the year. According to the research by Gartner and International Data Corporation (IDC), global semiconductor sales amounted to USD533 billion and USD526.5 billion in 2023 respectively, representing a year-on-year decrease of 11.1% and 12% respectively.  According to Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute (MIC) of Taiwan, the output value of Taiwan’s semiconductor industry is estimated to be NTD3.77 trillion in 2023. Looking ahead to 2024, the output value of Taiwan’s semiconductor industry is anticipated to reach NTD4.29 trillion, marking a growth of 13.7%. The Group will closely monitor the changes in the market environment, adopt proactive strategies, and respond to market changes in a prudent and prompt manner to further consolidate its market position.

Mr. Yang Ming-Hsiang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer concluded: “In general, global semiconductor industry players faced a complex operating environment with inventory adjustments and sluggish end market demand, in which various countries strived to establish their own supply chains in 2023. The scale of the global semiconductor industry declined in the first half of the year, while artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), automotive semiconductors and industrial semiconductors showed robust growth, together with signs of improvement in end market consumption activities in the third and fourth quarters, driving the global semiconductor industry to rebound after hitting the rock bottom in the second half of the year. According to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), the global semiconductor market is expected to reach USD588.3 billion in 2024, representing a year-on-year growth of 13.1%. In response to changes in the market environment, the Group will actively seize the development opportunities, and is committed to taking advantage of the research and development of investment products and technological upgrades to enhance the core competitiveness of the Group and create long-term value for shareholders.”
