China News Agency, Taipei, August 23. The July Taiwan Electricity Prosperity Index released by the Taiwan Comprehensive Research Institute on the 23rd shows that in July, the electricity consumption of all industries above high voltage in Taiwan decreased by 0.29% year-on-year, of which the electricity consumption of the manufacturing industry decreased by 2.25% year-on-year. .
Looking at other indicators, the slowdown in the manufacturing industry is becoming clear, and the semiconductor industry has passed its peak.
According to media reports such as the Central News Agency and the United Daily News, this is the third consecutive month that Taiwan's power boom has given a green light representing "flat".
According to the analysis of the Taiwan Comprehensive Research Institute, the global economy has weakened, demand has decreased, and production kinetic energy has slowed down slightly, resulting in a large decrease in electricity consumption in Taiwan's industries. There has been a marked increase over the same period.
According to analysis, the negative growth of electricity consumption in July was mainly due to the significant negative growth of electricity consumption in electronics-related industries and traditional industries.
In July, the manufacturing electricity climate index turned to a "flat" green light, and export orders in the same month were lower than expected, ending the streak of red and black again.
Combined with the trend of electricity consumption, the manufacturing industry has continuously shown signs of reversal since March this year, and the trend of slowdown in the future prosperity has gradually become clear.
In terms of the semiconductor industry, the institute analyzed that due to the strong demand for chips related to high-performance computing, Internet of Things and automotive electronics, the mature wafer process is still booming, and electricity consumption has maintained steady growth.
However, the market demand for important semiconductor end applications was not as good as expected, which affected the performance of orders received, and the growth rate of export orders for related electronic products had weakened.
Combined with the trend of electricity consumption, the semiconductor industry has passed the peak of prosperity, and the industrial prosperity has gradually slowed down.
The analysis also pointed out that in the computer, electronic and optical products industry, due to weak demand for terminal consumer electronic products such as TVs, computers, and mobile phones, prices and volumes fell, and export orders for electronic and information communication products fell.
Combined with the trend of electricity consumption, the industry's prosperity has declined sharply.
The Taiwan Comprehensive Research Institute said that all sectors of Taiwan's manufacturing industry have seen signs of a slowdown in the economy, especially the semiconductor industry's operating environment is on a downward trend, and its impact on the economy should be carefully evaluated in the future.
