Purchased parts and fabricated assemblies
There is a general upward trend in the value of purchased parts and fabricated assemblies over the six-year period. Starting at 1,173 million USD in 2018, the value remained relatively stable through 2019 before experiencing a significant increase in 2020 and doubling in 2021, reaching a peak of 2,827 million USD. This level is maintained with minor fluctuations in 2022 and 2023, ending at 2,940 million USD. This sharp rise from 2020 onwards could indicate increased production activity or higher input costs.
Finished goods
Finished goods inventory shows some fluctuations. The amount slightly decreased from 1,274 million USD in 2018 to 1,198 million USD in 2019 and remained stable in 2020. In 2021, there is a notable increase to 1,684 million USD, which further escalates to 2,187 million USD in 2022. However, in 2023, the inventory level drops back to 1,667 million USD. This pattern suggests a buildup of finished goods inventory through 2021 and 2022, followed by a reduction, possibly indicating changes in sales or production alignment.
Inventory
Total inventory demonstrates considerable growth over the period. Starting at 2,447 million USD in 2018, inventory experiences slight declines in 2019 but rises significantly from 2020 onward, reaching a peak of 5,161 million USD in 2022. The inventory then declines to 4,607 million USD in 2023. This increase corresponds with the rise in both purchased parts and finished goods, signaling expanded inventory holdings which may be associated with increased production or strategic stockpiling. The reduction in 2023 may reflect inventory management adjustments or demand fluctuations.
