In the first half of 2024, the rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology has provided significant growth impetus for demand on chips and memory. However, the uncertainties of the global economic environment, along with the slowdown in the growth of the industrial and automotive sectors, leading to a slower-than-expected pace of recovery for the entire semiconductor industry. According to the data recently released by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), the monthly sales of the global semiconductor industry have achieved year-on-year growth since 2024. In May, sales reached USD49.1 billion, with an annual growth rate of 19.3% and a monthly growth rate of 4.1%. Such annual growth rate was the highest since April 2022, showcasing the vigorous development trend of generative AI applications, which brought a strong growth momentum to the semiconductor industry.

Mr. Yang Ming-Hsiang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer concluded: “With the rapid development of AI technology, the market is entering a new era fully empowered by AI. This transformation not only deeply reconstructs industry ecosystems but also opens unprecedented golden opportunities for the semiconductor industry. The robust demand for AI and high-performance computing data centers is driving chip manufacturers to establish closer collaborations with memory, packaging and testing companies, working together to build a strong ecosystem, thus enhancing the overall competitiveness of the entire industry chain. However, the complex geopolitical landscape continues to have profound effects on the global semiconductor industry, especially in AI, which is a core area of Sino-US competition. The Group will adopt a cautious strategy, flexibly adapting to market changes and seizing development opportunities. At the same time, the Group will also strive to achieve breakthroughs in key technologies to solidify our market position in intense competition, aiming to create long-term and sustainable value returns for the shareholders.”
