North American Semiconductor Equipment Industry Posts February 2019 Billings
MILPITAS, Calif. — March 21, 2019 — North America-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted $1.86 billion in billings worldwide in February 2019 (three-month average basis), according to the February Equipment Market Data Subscription (EMDS) Billings Report published today by SEMI. The billings figure is 1.7 percent lower than the final January 2019 level of $1.90 billion, and is 23.0 percent lower than the February 2018 billings level of $2.41 billion.
“Global billings of North American equipment suppliers continued a decline that began in November 2018,” said Terry Tsao, chief marketing officer at SEMI. “Despite lower levels of investment, monthly billings for the year remain above 2016 levels.”
The SEMI Billings report uses three-month moving averages of worldwide billings for North American-based semiconductor equipment manufacturers. Billings figures are in millions of U.S. dollars.
