NA semi equipment industry extends its record streak
North America-based semiconductor equipment manufacturers posted USD 3.59 billion in billings worldwide in May 2021 (three-month average basis), according to SEMI.
The billings figure is 4.7% higher than final April 2021 billings of USD 3.43 billion and 53.1% higher than May 2020 billings of USD 2.34 billion.
“May billings of North America-based semiconductor equipment manufacturers continue their trajectory of remarkable growth,” said Ajit Manocha, SEMI president and CEO. “Semiconductor equipment investments continue to register record highs as the industry takes steps to address near-term manufacturing capacity constraints.”
