La previsione di crescita dei ricavi dei semiconduttori prevede un calo entro 3.6% in 2023

According to data from Gartner, the semiconductor market is expected to decline by up to 3.6 percent in 2023, from a growth of 4 percent this year and 26.3 percent in 2021. This might not be surprising to those that have followed recent developments in the semiconductor market, but it also looks like revenue for 2023 will be closer to that of 2021. This might in part be related to higher costs of manufacturing, but consumer demand is expected to be down in 2023, largely due to less disposable income, related to the current situation with rising inflation and increasing costs elsewhere.

Gartner claims that the enterprise market has been relatively stable and the consulting firm isn’t expecting the enterprise market to decline as much as the consumer market when it comes to semiconductor demand. Detto, Gartner is expecting the memory market to decline by up to 16.2 percent in 2023, as there’s already an oversupply in the market. Likewise, it expects that the NAND flash market will see a decline by up to 13.7 percent in 2023. What isn’t clear is how this weaker demand will affect retail prices, but as we’ve already seen, the DRAM and NAND flash manufacturers have already hit the brakes, to try and prevent a price crash.
