release time:2023-09-14Author source:SlkorBrowse:6622

Tairuida dropped out of the Top 10 ranking, and Disco took its place.


According to CINNO Research statistics, the combined revenue of the Top 10 global semiconductor equipment manufacturers reached $52.2 billion in 1H'23, with a year-on-year growth of 8% but a sequential decrease of 6%.

In comparison to the Top 10 equipment manufacturers of 2022, Teradyne dropped out of the rankings, and Disco replaced it, taking the tenth spot.

Dutch company ASML secured the top position in the 1H'23 market with revenue surpassing $14.8 billion, surpassing the US company Applied Materials (AMAT), which ranked second with revenue of approximately $12.4 billion. Tokyo Electron (TEL) from Japan took the third spot, overtaking Lam Research, an American company. Lam Research and KLA Corporation ranked fourth and fifth, respectively.

In terms of revenue, the combined revenue of the top five equipment manufacturers in 1H'23 has already exceeded $45.7 billion, accounting for 87% of the total revenue of the Top 10.

Top 1 ASML - Netherlands

ASML, the largest semiconductor lithography equipment supplier in the world, is also the only company capable of providing EUV lithography machines for advanced processes of 7nm and below. On July 19th, ASML released its financial report for the second quarter of 2023. According to the company's performance, the net sales for Q2 2023 reached 6.9 billion euros, a year-on-year increase of 27% and a quarter-on-quarter increase of 2%, approaching the upper limit of the previously given guidance (6.5 to 7 billion euros). This was mainly due to higher-than-expected additional immersion DUV revenue in this quarter. In terms of revenue by equipment type, the revenue share from ArFi equipment (immersion DUV lithography equipment) accounted for 49% in Q2, with a quarter-on-quarter increase of 19%; while the revenue share from EUV equipment accounted for 37%, with a quarter-on-quarter decrease of 17%. As for sales volume by equipment type, ASML sold 12 EUV machines in Q2 (a decrease of 5 compared to the previous quarter), and 39 ArFi machines (an increase of 14 compared to the previous quarter), showing significant improvement. In terms of revenue by region, sales revenue from China Taiwan accounted for 34%, with a quarter-on-quarter decrease of 15%; sales revenue from mainland China accounted for 24%, with a quarter-on-quarter increase of 16%; and sales revenue from the United States accounted for 10%, with a quarter-on-quarter decrease of 5%. The semiconductor business revenue for 1H'23 increased by 54.7% year-on-year. In 2022, ASML's revenue growth was delayed until 2023 due to fast shipment, as customers needed to complete factory verification to confirm revenue. ASML recently confirmed that it can export advanced immersion DUV equipment, including TWINSCANNXT:2000i and more advanced models, to mainland China customers before the end of 2023. However, EUV equipment is still on the export control list. From 2024, it will become more difficult to obtain export licenses for the aforementioned advanced equipment.


Top 2 Applied Materials (AMAT) - United States

Applied Materials is the world's largest semiconductor equipment supplier and known as the "supermarket" of semiconductor equipment, covering almost the entire semiconductor manufacturing process. Its semiconductor products include equipment for thin film deposition (CVD, PVD, etc.), ion implantation, etching, rapid thermal processing, chemical mechanical planarization (CMP), and measurement and inspection. The semiconductor business revenue for 1H'23 increased by 5.4% year-on-year. In August of this year, Applied Materials announced its quarterly results for the period ending July 30, 2023. The report showed that the company's revenue for the previous quarter was $6.43 billion, a decrease of 1% compared to the same period last year, with an operating profit of $1.80 billion. According to Yu Dinglu, President of Applied Materials China Taiwan, the semiconductor industry is expected to reach $1 trillion by 2030.
