Overview In December 2022 China's Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays exports accounted up to $313M and imports accounted up to $2.02B, resulting in a negative trade balance of $1.7B. Between December 2021 and December 2022 the exports of China's Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays have decreased by $-7.54M (-2.35%) from $320M to $313M, while imports decreased by $-1.46B (-42%) from $3.48B to $2.02B.
Destinations In December 2022, Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays were exported mostly to Singapore ($45.8M), Taiwan ($38.1M), United States ($34.3M), India ($30M), and Japan ($25.6M), and were imported mostly from Japan ($694M), South Korea ($233M), Taiwan ($226M), United States ($210M), and Singapore ($163M).
Growth In December 2022, the decrease in Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays's year-by-year exports was explained primarily by a decrease in exports to Taiwan ($-9.64M or -25.7%), Netherlands ($-8.5M or -79.5%), and Japan ($-2.99M or -12.4%). In December 2022, the decrease in Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays's year-by-year imports was explained primarily by a decrease in imports from Netherlands ($-215M or -61.1%), South Korea ($-31.3M or -6.45%), and Germany ($-23.5M or -24.2%).
