Inventory Composition and Trends
Over the five-year period, the total inventories exhibited a significant upward trend from US$3,893 million in 2020 to a peak of US$9,518 million in 2023, followed by a reduction to US$6,998 million in 2024. This pattern suggests a buildup of stock that peaked before a partial drawdown.
Raw Materials
The raw materials inventory showed a consistent rise from US$486 million in 2020 to US$993 million in 2023, nearly doubling over the four-year period, before decreasing to US$818 million in 2024. This indicates increasing procurement or stockpiling of materials through 2023, with possible optimization or consumption reducing the inventory in the subsequent year.
Work in Process
The work in process inventory exhibited more pronounced fluctuations. Starting at US$2,437 million in 2020, it slightly declined to US$2,367 million in 2021, then surged to US$3,098 million in 2022. The upward trend continued sharply to US$5,747 million in 2023, before declining to US$4,120 million in 2024. This reflects increased manufacturing activity or production complexity leading to greater WIP balances, peaking in 2023, and then a reduction which may indicate improved production flow or sales.
Finished Goods
Finished goods inventory grew from US$970 million in 2020 to US$1,072 million in 2021, slightly declining to US$1,004 million in 2022. There was a substantial increase to US$2,778 million in 2023, followed by a decrease to US$2,060 million in 2024. This pattern mirrors the overall inventory trend, with a large buildup of finished products in 2023, potentially to meet anticipated demand, and a drawdown thereafter.
Overall Insights
The substantial growth in work in process and finished goods inventories in 2023 suggests a strategic stock accumulation possibly due to expected increases in demand or supply chain considerations. The subsequent decreases in 2024 imply a normalization, likely driven by sales realization or inventory management efforts. The peak inventory levels may affect working capital requirements and liquidity, while the fluctuations indicate responsiveness to operational or market conditions.
