The world’s leading manufacturers of semiconductor products are currently the United States, South Korea, Japan, the EU, and China. Russia’s share in world production is insignificant (0.06 %). The main volume of global production of specialized equipment for the semiconductor industry is concentrated in five leading companies: Applied Materials, Tokyo Electron, ASML, Lam Research and KLA Corporation. This kind of equipment is not produced in Russia, which leads to dependence on the import of such equipment. In this work, the current situation in the global and Russian markets of semiconductor products, as well as the markets of processing equipment and industrial robots used in the semiconductor industry, are described. The authors consider the solution to the problem of providing the semiconductor industry with processing equipment and industrial robots in the leading countries of the world and the possibility of solving this problem in Russia. As the analysis of foreign trade and equipment consumption in the world has shown, the main factor in determining the country’s position in the world market is the foreign policy environment while ensuring its technological security. In the case of China and Russia, it is necessary to create domestic machine-building production of equipment for the semiconductor industry.
