North American Semiconductor Equipment Industry Posts April 2019 Billings
MILPITAS, Calif. — May 21, 2019 — North America-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted $1.91 billion in billings worldwide in April 2019 (three-month average basis), according to the April Equipment Market Data Subscription (EMDS) Billings Report published today by SEMI. The billings figure is 4.7 percent higher than the final March 2019 level of $1.82 billion, and is 29.0 percent lower than the April 2018 billings level of $2.69 billion.
“April billings of North American equipment manufacturers increased five percent when compared to the prior month,” said Ajit Manocha, president and CEO of SEMI. “While it is premature to call this upturn an inflection point in this cycle, the current improvement clearly reflects expenditures for advancing technology roadmaps.”
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.
