Raw materials and component parts
The value showed a generally increasing trend over the years, starting at 1,048 million USD in mid-2018 and rising to 2,096 million USD by mid-2023. Notably, there was a significant increase between 2022 and 2023, indicating increased procurement or stockpiling of raw materials and components.
Work-in-process
This category experienced fluctuations, with an initial increase from 878 million USD in 2018 to 1,162 million USD in 2022, followed by a decrease to 979 million USD in 2023. The pattern suggests some variability in production stages, with a peak around 2022 before settling lower in the most recent period.
Finished goods
There was a declining trend in finished goods inventory over the years, decreasing from 1,018 million USD in 2018 to 623 million USD in 2023. The most significant declines occurred after 2019, with a substantial drop between 2022 and 2023. This could indicate improved turnover of finished products or a change in inventory management strategy.
Inventories (aggregate)
Total inventory levels rose from 2,944 million USD in 2018 to 3,698 million USD in 2023. Despite the declining finished goods inventory, the overall increase is driven primarily by the rise in raw materials and component parts. The aggregate inventory growth reflects an increased investment in stock, potentially as a buffer against supply chain uncertainties or in anticipation of higher demand.
