Worldwide semiconductor manufacturing equipment: $7.83 billion in the second quarter of 2008
SEMI reported that worldwide semiconductor manufacturing equipment
billings reached $7.83 billion in the second quarter of 2008. The
billings figure is 26 percent less than the first quarter of 2008 and
29 percent less than the same quarter a year ago. The data is gathered
in cooperation with the Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan
(SEAJ) from more than 150 global equipment companies that provide data
on a monthly basis.
SEMI also reported worldwide semiconductor equipment bookings of US$6.99 billion in the second quarter of 2008. The figure is 30 percent less than the same quarter a year ago, and 13 percent less than the bookings figure for the first quarter of 2008.
“Spending for new semiconductor equipment is down considerably as anticipated,” said Dan Tracy, senior director of Industry Research and Statistics at SEMI. “Overall 2008 spending will approach 2005 levels, with a recovery expected for next year.”
The quarterly billings data by region in millions of U.S. dollars, year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter growth rates by region are as follows:
