Sales of semiconductor manufacturing equipment are now expected to grow by nearly 36 percent in 2017, an increase from an earlier forecast that projected 20 percent growth, according to the SEMI trade association. The group expects sales to grow by another 7.5 percent next year.

SEMI said it now expects sales for fab tools to reach a record $55.9 billion this year, passing the $50 billion mark for the first time. The earlier forecast, issued in June, had predicted sales of $49.4 billion, which itself would have been a record.

This year's semiconductor equipment buying spree, fueled by capacity expansion and record chip sales, is expected to shatter the sales record set way back in 2000, at the height of the dot com bubble.

Sales of wafer processing equipment — the largest category of semiconductor equipment — are expected to grow by 37.5 percent to reach $45 billion, SEMI said. Sales of other front-end equipment, including mask and reticle inspection equipment, is expected to increase by 46 percent to reach $2.6 billion, SEMI said.

SEMI said it expects assembly and packaging equipment sales to grow 26 percent to reach $3.8 billion and test equipment sales to grow 22 percent to $4.5 billion.

South Korea remains on pace to become the largest geography for fab tool sales for the first time this year, SEMI said. Taiwan is expected to be the second largest geography, while China — where sales are expected to grow by 49 percent — is expected to be the third largest geography for sales, SEMI said.

Fab Tool Billings Fall for First Time in 2 Years

Billings among North American manufacturers of semiconductor production equipment posted a year-over-year decline last month for the first time in two years as the fab tool market continues to cool after two years of white-hot growth.The three-month rolling average of billings for North American chip equipment firms slipped to $1.94 billion in November, down 4.2% compared to October and down 5.3% compared to November 2017, according to the SEMI trade association.“For the first time in over two years, billings of North American equipment manufacturers are down relative to the same month the year before,” said Ajit Manocha, president and CEO of SEMI, in a press statement. “After reaching historical revenues earlier this year, billings activity is decelerating in line with weaker growth expectations for 2019.”November marked the first time that fab tool billings declined on a year-over-year basis since May 2016.Despite slowing growth in recent months, global sales of semiconductor equipment are expected to set an all-time high for the second-straight year in 2018. SEMI recently forecast that global semiconductor equipment sales would grow 9.7% this year to reach $62.1 billion before declining by 4% in 2019. The trade association also projected that tool sales would bounce back to grow more than 20% in 2020 to reach $71.9 billion.

Fab Tool Sales Expected to Decline in 2019

 After what is expected to be a second-straight record sales year in 2018, the semiconductor equipment market is projected to decline by 4% next year before recovering to grow by more than 20% in 2020, according to the SEMI trade group.In its year-end forecast, released on Wednesday (Dec. 12) at the Semicon Japan trade show, SEMI estimated that fab tool sales will grow 9.7% this year to reach a record $62.1 billion. The forecast is consistent with other forecasts released earlier this year, despite slowing sales growth in recent months.But the forecast calls for tool sales to decline to $56.6 billion next year before rebounding to grow 20.7% in 2020, reaching a new record high of $71.9 billion.SEMI projects that the market for wafer processing equipment — the largest category of semiconductor production equipment — will grow 10.2% this year to reach $50.2 billion. The chip test equipment market is expected to grow by 15.6% this year to reach $5.4 billion, while the assembly and packaging equipment market is forecast to grow 1.9% to reach $4 billion, said SEMI.Semiconductor equipment market in billions of U.S. dollars. (Source: SEMI)South Korea — paced by continued record spending by Samsung Electronics — is expected to remain the largest regional market for fab tools for a second-straight year in 2018. China is expected to leapfrog Taiwan in 2018 to become the second-largest market for chip equipment, growing at a rate of 55.7%, said SEMI.For 2019, SEMI projects that South Korea, China, and Taiwan will remain the top three markets for chip equipment.

Fab Tool Sales Slip to $15.8 Billion in Q3

Global semiconductor equipment billings slipped to $15.8 billion in the third quarter, a 5% decrease from the second quarter, according to the SEMI trade organization. Billings improved by 11% compared to the third quarter of 2017.The third quarter marked the second straight quarter of sequential billings declines for the semiconductor equipment industry, which has been enjoying a historic run. Third quarter billings were down by 7% compared to $17 billion in the first quarter, the peak of the upcycle.SEMI said in July it expects chip equipment sales to hit $62.7 billion this year, an increase of 12% compared to the record high of $56.6 billion the industry set last year.

Fab Tool Spending on Pace for Third Straight Record Year

Fab Tool Spending on Pace for Third Straight Record Year

Spending on semiconductor capital equipment is on pace to set a new all-time high for the third consecutive year, led by strong sales in South Korea and China, according to the latest forecast by the SEMI trade association.The latest SEMI forecast calls for spending to rise 14 percent this year, reaching nearly $65 billion. Spending is forecast to rise an additional 9 percent next year to top $70 billion for the first time, SEMI said. The last time semiconductor equipment spending rose for four consecutive years was the mid 1990s.South Korea is expected to remain the top region for chip equipment spending in 2018. While Samsung Electronics is expected to reduce its equipment spending from its 2017 level of about $18 billion, Samsung is still expected to account for about 70 percent of the equipment spending in South Korea this year, according to SEMI. SK Hynix is expected to increase its equipment spending in South Korea this year, SEMI said.Meanwhile, China — which is expected to be the top region for semiconductor equipment sales beginning next year — continues its dramatic rise in fab tool spending. Equipment spending in China is expected to increase by 65 percent this year and by an additional 57 percent in 2019, SEMI said.SEMI noted that more than half of the semiconductor equipment spending in China in 2018 and in 2019 is expected to come from non-Chinese companies including Intel, SK Hynix, TSMC, Samsung and Globalfoundries. Domestic Chinese companies — backed by large government initiatives — are building a considerable number of fabs that are starting to equip this year and next year, according to SEMI. These companies are expected to double their equipment investments in 2018 and again in 2019, SEMI said.The trade group said other regions are also ramping up investment in semiconductor equipment, including a projected 60 percent increase in spending in Japan this year. Spending in Europe and the Mideast is expected to increase by about 12 percent, SEMI said, while growth in Southeast Asia is expected to be about 30 percent.
