A Review of the 2022 Semiconductor Market and a Look to 2023

Date: Feb. 23, 2023
Time: 2 pm EST

2022 was another record setting year in terms of global sales. Despite breaking the global sales record set in the previous year, the second half of 2022 saw significant declines in sales caused by macro-economic factors like inflation and decrease consumer spending. In addition, decreases in demand, most acute in the consumer electronics sector, caused the semiconductor industry to adjust its growth expectations for the year. Semiconductor firms responded with short-term adjustments to deal with slowed growth.

Please join a panel of semiconductor market experts to help us make sense of the trends that shaped the semiconductor market in 2022 and look ahead to what the market has in store for 2023. Panelists include: Dan Hutcheson, Vice Chair, at TechInsights; and Dale Ford, Chief Analyst at the Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA). The session will be moderated by Robert Casanova, Director of Industry Statistics and Economy Policy at SIA.

Panelists:

Dan Hutcheson
Vice Chair
TechInsights Inc.

Dan is Vice Chair of TechInsights Inc. He is a recognized authority on the semiconductor industry, winning SEMI’s Sales and Marketing Excellence Award[1] in 2012 for “empowering executives with tremendous strategic and tactical marketing value” through his e-letter, The Chip Insider®; his book Maxims of Hi-Tech, and his many interviews of executives.

As some industry leaders have said, “He is the marketing voice and expert for the industry.” “Dan has methodically captured the essence of the industry and produced it in such a way for all to benefit … He has been such an integral part of the industry for so long, it is difficult to imagine the industry without his contributions.”

Dan’s public work on the industry has often focused on challenging predictions of the demise of Moore’s Law that date back decades by demonstrating how doomsayers have been outpaced by emergent behavior through the innate ability of technologists to innovate. This has included invited articles for Scientific American, the SIA, and the Plenary at the SPIE Advanced Lithography Conference.
