Semiconductor industry rebounds: AI and strategic investments drive 21 percent surge

June 6, 2025 by Sam Francis

The global market for the highly specialized equipment used to manufacture semiconductors is experiencing a significant uplift, with billings soaring 21 percent year-over-year in the first quarter of 2025 to hit $32.05 billion.

This strong start to the year, highlighted in SEMI’s Worldwide Semiconductor Equipment Market Statistics (WWSEMS) Report, signals robust health in a critical sector underpinning the entire tech world.

The primary engines behind this growth? The relentless artificial intelligence (AI) boom and proactive, large-scale investments in future chipmaking capacity across the globe. [Read more…] about Semiconductor industry rebounds: AI and strategic investments drive 21 percent surge

Global semiconductor fabrication equipment sales up 21 percent

June 6, 2025 by Sam Francis

Surging demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure and fab expansion offset geopolitical uncertainty, says SEMI

The global market for semiconductor manufacturing equipment grew sharply in the first quarter of 2025, with total billings reaching $32.05 billion – a 21 percent increase compared to the same period last year, according to new data from industry association SEMI.

Released as part of SEMI’s Worldwide Semiconductor Equipment Market Statistics (WWSEMS) Report, the figures show that continued investment in advanced chip production, driven by AI and high-performance computing applications, is helping the sector remain resilient amid geopolitical tensions and shifting trade policies.

Although Q1 2025 saw a typical seasonal decline of 5 percent from the previous quarter, the year-on-year growth points to what SEMI describes as a “future-looking investment cycle” across multiple regions. [Read more…] about Global semiconductor fabrication equipment sales up 21 percent

Silicon value: An overview of the semiconductor market

October 23, 2017 by Sam Francis

Silicon Croda

The manufacturing of semiconductor-based technologies is arguably the most advanced of human endeavours in terms of engineering. 

Semiconductor materials include silicon, which can either act as a conductor of electricity or as an insulator, stopping the flow of electricity.

This strange duality, along with other features, has made semiconductors the most valuable commodity in electronics, and enabled it to form the basis of today’s technological, increasingly computerised machines and gadgets.  [Read more…] about Silicon value: An overview of the semiconductor market
