Japan's top chip equipment makers see first-ever 10% sales drop in China as local industry grows

Staff Writer
Summary
Japan's top five chipmaking equipment manufacturers saw a 10% decline in combined sales to China for the fiscal year ending March 31 — the first such drop on record. The decrease is attributed to Beijing's push to strengthen its domestic semiconductor industry, reducing reliance on foreign suppliers. The trend highlights China's growing self-sufficiency in chipmaking equipment and the resulting loss of market share for foreign companies.
