According to the news, Counterpoint Research previously released a semiconductor foundry service report. Following a sharp decline in 2023, it is expected that the foundry industry will resume growth in 2024 as inventories continue to normalize. Strong demand for artificial intelligence and a moderate recovery in terminal demand will be the main growth drivers for the industry in 2024. Zhongtai Securities pointed out that the first quarter is usually the lowest season for the foundry industry in the whole year. It is expected that in the second and third quarter, with the arrival of summer production such as 6.18, the operating rate of the industry will pick up, and business conditions are expected to improve.
Tianfeng Securities previously stated that AI is expected to be the main driving force for the upward trend in this cycle. Industry inventories are expected to return to normal levels in the first half of the year, and some sectors are also expected to prioritize inventory replenishment. Zhongyuan Securities also pointed out that currently the semiconductor industry is at the bottom of the cycle, and the valuation is lower than the median value of nearly ten years. Consumer demand is gradually recovering.
