US export bans on semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China have not slowed China's semiconductor market share growth, which rose 18% from 2017 to 2023, as China sourced equipment from the EU, Japan, and Singapore instead.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Restrictions on chip exports to China have shifted supply paths rather than blocking access. If you supply semiconductor equipment, new customer opportunities have opened in the EU, Japan, and Singapore that rerouted demand formerly met by US firms.
