Capital spending in the semiconductor industry worldwide 2000-2023
In 2022, global semiconductor capital spending amounted to 181.7 billion U.S. dollars, a jump of 19 percent compared to the previous year. Forecasts project that this is likely to fall by 19 percent in 2023, down to 146.6 billion U.S. dollars. Analysts suggest this is the result of the United States imposing export restrictions on China, as well as a weaker memory semiconductor market.
