$109 billion in 2022 and 2023

According to a fresh report, big chip manufacturers are increasing spending on new fab equipment, reaching a record $109 billion in 2022, a 20 percent increase compared to the previous year.

According to the latest World Fab Forecast report from SEMI, a semiconductor industry group, manufacturers of chips and countries are significantly increasing spending on equipment for fabs, reaching $109 billion in 2022. According to a rather neat graph made by SEMI, this is almost a 2x increase compared to the $55 billion spent in 2019 and the trend should continue as the forecast for 2023 is also set at $109B.

TSMC, Samsung, and Globalfoundries are some of the biggest chip manufacturers, and hold about 53 percent of fab equipment manufacturing in 2022 and 2023, while memory chip manufacturers, like Micron and SK Hynix, hold about 33-34 percent.
