Global chip equipment sales reach record US$135 billion as AI drives investment surge
What happened
Global semiconductor manufacturing equipment sales reached a record $135.1 billion in 2025, a 15% year-on-year increase, according to SEMI. The surge is driven by investments in advanced logic, memory, and AI-related capacity expansion. Watch: Sustained high equipment capex signals strong future supply-side investment but does not indicate an immediate component shortage or price change.
