Optimistic outlook for long-term semiconductor market demand
2023 was a challenging year for the global semiconductor industry. The weak overall global economic environment, high inflation and high interest rates have intensified and extended the global semiconductor inventory adjustment cycle. Despite the challenges posed by the macro environment, the Company has demonstrated strong resilience. Facing the uncertainty of global economic recovery in the post-pandemic era, the rapid development of AI technology, the changes in the electronic product supply chain, and the increasing demand for energy conservation and carbon reduction brought about by climate change, the market demand and growth potential is expected to remain strong for the semiconductor sector in the long term. WT will continue to focus on high-growth products and applications such as third-generation semiconductors, electric vehicles, industrial control, energy management, green energy, cloud data centers, 5G communications, etc, as the rapid development of these application fields requires the supply of semiconductor components. To strengthen the foundation for sustainable business operations, WT will continuously improve its operational efficiency by optimizing the operation management system, enhancing its risk management, reinforcing its financial control system, upgrading its human resource management, and strengthening its ability to provide added values in the electronic components industry chain.
