ITM2025

Singapore's Industry Transformation Map 2025

The strategies outlined in the five ITMs pave the way towards Singapore’s overall goal to grow manufacturing value-added (VA) by 50 per cent from 2020 to 2030. This will be done by focusing on innovation, embracing sustainability and training talent to seize job opportunities in the backbone of our economy. Each ITM is co-created by the Government, industry stakeholders and unions, and covers areas such as productivity, internationalisation, innovation, digitalisation, resilience, sustainability, and jobs and skills. – Read the full press release on the EDB website here.

The semiconductor outlook

Where we're headed...

Global Sales

The semiconductor industry is predicted to see global sales of US$558 billion in 2024, which is a 13% increase from 2023, and 2.5% higher than 2022's record industry revenues of US$574 billion.

Chip Market Boom

Memory chips were the biggest swing factor in 2022, with sales amounting to US$130 billion, or just under 23% of the overall chip market, but they dropped 31% (about US$40 billion) in 2023.

A.I. Chips Drive Industry Growth

Gen AI chips are predicted to be a significant growth area in the industry, especially for high-performance computing needs like GPUs and CPUs designed for AI tasks, expected to account for 8.5% of total chips sold in 2024.

Innovation & Diversification

The industry anticipates new entrants in the AI chip market, new architectures and models for AI chips, and the development of edge chips, which will handle more processing at the device level in smaller or differently designed chips.
