Transistor Imports to Hong Kongs Fall by 5%, Dropping to $8.7 Billion in 2024

Hong Kong Transistor Imports

In 2024, purchases abroad of transistors, other than photosensitive transistors decreased by -28.3% to 59B units, falling for the third consecutive year after two years of growth. Overall, imports recorded a perceptible decline. The pace of growth appeared the most rapid in 2021 with an increase of 22%. As a result, imports attained the peak of 119B units. From 2022 to 2024, the growth of imports failed to regain momentum.

In value terms, transistor imports reduced rapidly to $6.2B (IndexBox estimates) in 2024. Over the period under review, imports, however, continue to indicate a relatively flat trend pattern. The growth pace was the most rapid in 2021 when imports increased by 26%. Imports peaked at $9.2B in 2022; however, from 2023 to 2024, imports failed to regain momentum.Hong Kong Transistor Imports By Country (Million USD)
