Prologue

1 Macroeconomics in December

1.1 Global Manufacturing Industry Regains Stability

In December, the global manufacturing industry continued its steady growth trend. Among them, China has remained stable in the expansion range for three consecutive months, while the recovery momentum of the European Union represented by Germany and France is still relatively weak. Generally speaking, the global economy still shows a certain degree of resilience, but the differentiation of the global economy is obvious and the problem of unbalanced economic recovery is prominent.

The United Nations predicts that the world economy is expected to grow by 2.7% in both 2024 and 2025, and the global economy will continue to maintain moderate growth.

1.2 The Electronic Information Manufacturing Industry Has Rebounded Rapidly

From January to November 2024, China's electronic information manufacturing industry witnessed relatively rapid production growth. The decline in exports continued to narrow, its performance steadily improved, the growth momentum of investment was evident, and regional differentiation was pronounced.

1.3 Semiconductor Sales Remain Strong

According to the latest data from SIA, the global semiconductor market sales in November 2024 were $57.82 billion, a year-on-year increase of 20.7%, setting a record for the highest monthly sales total in history. Monthly sales increased by 1.7% month on month, rebounding for 8 consecutive months.

In terms of regional markets, the Americas market has the strongest growth, with a year-on-year increase of 54.9%.Chinese Mainland increased by 12.1% year on year. Among them, monthly sales in Europe decreased by 5.8% year-on-year, with a significant impact from weak demand in the automotive and industrial sectors.
