Foreign Media: According to the SEMI industry report, China is expected to remain the world's largest buyer of chip manufacturing equipment by 2027.

Domestic chip manufacturers continue to invest in both mature nodes and cutting-edge processes, driving China to maintain this position, although the sales growth rate will slow down from 2026. The development of China's chip industry benefits from Beijing's policies promoting technological self-reliance.

At the same time, Taiwan and South Korea will maintain the second and third positions in equipment spending, respectively. The investment growth in Taiwan is mainly driven by the increased demand for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing, while South Korea is driven by advanced memory chip projects, particularly the expansion of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) production.
