Semiconductor Machinery Manufacturing in Canada industry analysis

Semiconductor machinery manufacturers supply capital equipment for various processes in semiconductor manufacturing. While semiconductors have become the foundation of nearly every technology today, years of outsourcing semiconductor manufacturing put Canada in a weak position globally. Rising import penetration has been specifically challenging to the domestic industry. East Asian countries dominate semiconductor production, where enormous scale, massive R&D investment and lower-cost labour make it near impossible for domestic manufacturers to compete.But, an explosion in semiconductor demand during the COVID-19 pandemic led to supply shocks, boosting machinery purchases from domestic and foreign manufacturers expanding production volume. High interest rates and concerns about how consumers will respond to a recession are curtailing equipment sales – and profit – in 2023. In all, industry-wide revenue has been declining at a CAGR of 33.3% to total an estimated $145.0 million in 2023, when revenue will jump an expected 1.9%.The pandemic's havoc on the semiconductor supply chain showcased its weaknesses. To lower its dependence on foreign suppliers, the Canadian government announced a $240.0 million investment into bolstering domestic production in 2022. Investment in domestic semiconductor production leaves equipment manufacturers well-positioned, as manufacturers can't create semiconductors without equipment. Developing Canada's semiconductor industry can't come without cooperation with the US– leading the countries to partner in establishing a bilateral semiconductor manufacturing corridor.Semiconductors will remain the backbone of tech transformation, but the industry's trajectory will depend on if the Canadian economy enters a downturn. Prolonged high interest rates and a recession would cause consumers to rethink spending and industrial capacity to slow. In a downturn, semiconductor manufacturers don't invest in new production lines or fabrication facilities, dropping new equipment sales. Still, tech advances will push semiconductor development ahead, specifically benefiting equipment manufacturers specializing in advanced machines for components in areas like AI or electric vehicles. Semiconductor equipment manufacturing revenue is expected to increase at a CAGR of 1.5% to $156.0 million over the next five years.

Trends and Insights

  • Canada’s semiconductor machinery manufacturers got a boost as semiconductor demand exploded during the pandemic. Now, tense international competition, an alleviating chip shortage and recession concerns temper new capital equipment sales.
  • An increasingly digital world expands the need for data computing and storage. Semiconductor machinery manufacturers producing equipment tailored to data computing components benefit from this rapidly growing area.
  • Ontario is Canada’s manufacturing hotspot. Manufacturers benefit from the province’s share of the skilled workforce, easy access to the US and proximity to downstream buyers.
  • Striking a balance between innovation and efficiency influences a manufacturer’s success. While investing in R&D is critical to stay ahead of tech advances, managing production costs is necessary to be competitive.
