Combined Critical Subsystems are expected to grow 12% in 2022 (Y-o-Y), surpassing $20B. Semiconductor critical subsystem revenue will surge 15% this year, propelled by a strong WFE market. Headwinds are in full force for the upcoming 2022 Q4 due to rising interest rates in the US, Chinese export controls and a dim macroeconomic outlook. As a result, the semiconductor market is slowing down significantly in 2023 and is expected to slip into the negative as early as Q4 2022. Therefore, we expect semiconductor critical subsystem sales to decline 19% in 2023 as chipmakers rein in spending to assess the slowing demand.

Critical Subsystems for FPD had a slight recovery in Q3 2022 but is still expected to fall 15% in 2022 (Y-o-Y) and slump another 4% in 2023. The PV subsystem market will continue to grow in 2022 and is expected to close the year above 20% followed by a fall of 2% in 2023.

2024 is forecast to be a recovery year with double digit growth in the Semiconductor subsystem industry. FPD and PV subsystems are both expected to recover at single digit growth.

Looking at quarterly growth rates, subsystems continued to grow in the third quarter of 2022 reaching a record high of $6B. However, negative growth is forecast for the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first three quarters of 2023 followed by a recovery in the fourth quarter of 2023 and into 2024.
