North American semiconductor manufacturing equipment industry posts $2.5 billion in billings

North America-based manufacturers of semiconductor-making equipment posted $2.49 billion in billings worldwide in June 2018, according to industry association SEMI.

The $2.49 billion figure is calculated by SEMI on a “three-month average basis”, and is published in the Market Data Billings Report, published today by SEMI.

The billings figure is 8 percent lower than the final May 2018 level of $2.7 billion, and is 8.1 percent higher than the June 2017 billings level of $2.3 billion. 

Ajit Manocha, president and CEO of SEMI, says: “Global billings of North American equipment manufacturers declined for the current month by 8 percent from the historic high but is still 8 percent higher than billings for the same period last year.

“Billings remain robust.”

Below are some highlights of 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 US dollars.
