China, South Korea, Taiwan to spend most on chip equipment 2025-2027, industry body says
AMSTERDAM, Sept 26 (Reuters) -Semiconductor manufacturers will spend a record $400 billion on computer chip-making equipment in 2025-2027, global industry association SEMI said in estimates published on Thursday, with China, South Korea and Taiwan leading the way.
Key drivers include extra demand for excess capacity in geographical regions amid U.S.-China trade tensions, and demand for AI chips and related memory chips.
In a report, the association estimated that spending on equipment will grow by 24% to $123 billion in 2025.
Key equipment vendors include ASML ASML.AS of the Netherlands, Applied Materials AMAT.O, KLA Corp KLAC.O and Lam Research of the U.S., and Tokyo Electron 8035.T of Japan.
"China is projected to maintain its position as the top spending region ... investing over US$100 billion in the next three years driven by its national self-sufficiency policies," SEMI said, adding that Chinese spending is declining from record levels this year.
South Korea, home to memory chip makers Samsung 005930.KS and SK Hynix 000660.KS, was seen spending $81 billion in the same period. That compares with $75 billion in Taiwan, home to top contract chipmaker TSMC 2330.TW -- which is also building plants in the U.S., Japan and Europe.
Estimated spending in other regions was $63 billion in the Americas, $32 billion in Japan and $27 billion in Europe.
"Notably, these regions are anticipated to more than double their equipment investment in 2027 compared to 2024 due to policy incentives earmarked to alleviate concerns on the supply of crucial semiconductors," SEMI said.
