Global wafers with large size and special wafers are still in full-load production, and production is planned to be expanded.
On December 8, according to foreign media reports, due to lower-than-expected shipments of consumer electronics and servers, sales of semiconductor products such as memory chips fell significantly in the third quarter, from $157.957 billion in the previous quarter to $146.949 billion, down 7% from the previous quarter. The full-year market is expected to fall to $580 billion, down 4.4% from a year earlier; it will continue to decline next year and is expected to fall to $557 billion.
The decline in the size of the semiconductor market is bound to affect the market size of this key component of the wafer, the demand for some products will decline, and the capacity utilization of the relevant manufacturers will also be reduced.
However, from the relevant media reports, as an important global wafer supplier, the current production capacity has not declined significantly.
According to relevant media reports, at the board meeting on Tuesday, Global Wafer stressed that in addition to the slight loosening of the supply of small-size wafers, large-size and special wafers are in full capacity production and plan for further expansion.
Global wafer sizes and special wafers are in full-load production, which means that their customers still have strong demand for both types of wafers, and their performance is expected to remain strong.
