On the heels of a 37.3% growth in wafer front end (WFE) semiconductor equipment growth in 2017, the market will grow only 10% in 2018 to $62.3 billion, according to the report “The Global Semiconductor Equipment: Markets, Market Shares, Market Forecasts,” recently published by The Information Network,  a New Tripoli, PA-based market research company.

For the first six months of 2018, WFE billings were $35.3 billion, meaning billings of $27.0 billion will be registered in the second half of 2018 if the sector as a whole grows 10% in CY 2018.

This means a drop of 24% between 1H 2018 and 2H 2018.

The chart below shows that U.S. equipment companies held a 48.8% share of the total sector in 1H 2018 followed by Japan with a 30.3% share and ROW (primarily Europe) with a 26.9% share. For 2H 2018, the weak Japanese Yen means Japan will have a 29.1% share, but stronger EUV sales by ASML will mean Europe’s share will grow to 28.0%.

The memory market is moving into a period of oversupply: NAND oversupply started six months ago and has resulted in device price drops, while DRAMs will reach an oversupply situation in the next few months. As a result, market leader Samsung Electronics has pushed out purchases. Foundry leader TSMC has reduced its estimate for sales revenue growth in 2018 and its capital expenditure budget.

North American semiconductor equipment industry posts November 2018 billings

North America-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted $1.94 billion in billings worldwide in November 2018 (three-month average basis), according to the November Equipment Market Data Subscription (EMDS) Billings Report published today by SEMI. The billings figure is 4.2 percent lower than the final October 2018 level of $2.03 billion, and is 5.3 percent lower than the November 2017 billings level of $2.05 billion.“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. “After reaching historical revenues earlier this year, billings activity is decelerating in line with weaker growth expectations for 2019.”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.

$62.7B semiconductor equipment forecast: Top previous record, Korea at top but China closes the gap

Releasing its Mid-Year Forecast at the annual SEMICON West exposition, SEMI, the global industry association representing the electronics manufacturing supply chain, today reported that worldwide sales of new semiconductor manufacturing equipment are projected to increase 10.8 percent to $62.7 billion in 2018, exceeding the historic high of $56.6 billion set last year. Another record-breaking year for the equipment market is expected in 2019, with 7.7 percent forecast growth to $67.6 billion.The SEMI Mid-Year Forecast predicts wafer processing equipment will rise 11.7 percent in 2018 to $50.8 billion. The other front-end segment, consisting of fab facilities equipment, wafer manufacturing, and mask/reticle equipment, is expected to jump 12.3 percent to $2.8 billion this year. The assembly and packaging equipment segment is projected to grow 8.0 percent to $4.2 billion in 2018, while semiconductor test equipment is forecast to increase 3.5 percent to $4.9 billion this year.In 2018, South Korea will remain the largest equipment market for the second year in a row. China will rise in the rankings to claim the second spot for the first time, dislodging Taiwan, which will fall to the third position. All regions tracked except Taiwan will experience growth. China will lead in growth with 43.5 percent, followed by Rest of World (primarily Southeast Asia) at 19.3 percent, Japan at 32.1 percent, Europe at 11.6 percent, North America at 3.8 percent and South Korea at 0.1 percent.SEMI forecasts that, in 2019, equipment sales in China will surge 46.6 percent to $17.3 billion. In 2019, China, South Korea, and Taiwan are forecast to remain the top three markets, with China rising to the top. South Korea is forecast to become the second largest market at $16.3 billion, while Taiwan is expected to reach $12.3 billion in equipment sales.The following results are in terms of market size in billions of U.S. dollars:The Equipment Market Data Subscription (EMDS) from SEMI provides comprehensive market data for the global semiconductor equipment market. A subscription includes three reports: the monthly SEMI Billings Report, which offers an early perspective of the trends in the equipment market; the monthly Worldwide Semiconductor Equipment Market Statistics (SEMS), a detailed report of semiconductor equipment bookings and billings for seven regions and over 22 market segments; and the SEMI Mid-year Forecast, which provides an outlook for the semiconductor equipment market.

Semiconductor Equipment Sales Back on the Rise

　　Sales by North American semiconductor equipment manufacturers increased in November compared with October, the first month of sequential increase in five months, according to the SEMI trade association.　　The three-month average of billings by North American tool makers rose by 1.6 percent from October, reaching $2.05 billion, SEMI said. November billings were 27.2 percent higher than November 2016, the organization said.　　SEMI's Japanese counterpart, the Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan, reported that November billings for Japanese semiconductor equipment totaled about $1.54 billion, a decrease of less than 1 percent from October but an increase of 21.1 percent from November 2016.　　The semiconductor equipment industry remains firmly on track to post record sales in 2017. SEMI last week raised its forecast for full-year sales to a record $55.9 billion,which would represent an increase of 35.6 percent from last year.　　"Year-to-date equipment spending is well on track to set a historical high, and we expect that positive momentum to continue into next year as new fabs in China begin to equip," said Dan Tracy, SEMI's senior director of industry research and statistics, in a statement.

Semiconductor Equipment Sales Rise Again

　　Sales of semiconductor capital equipment continue to accelerate, boosted by a booming memory chip market and the migration to more advanced technology nodes.　　North America based fab tool vendors posted both sequential and year-over-year increases in billings once again in June, as the industry remains on track for its record sales.　　"Through the first half of the year, 2017 equipment billings are 50 percent above the same period last year," said Dan Tracy, senior director for industry research and statistics at the SEMI trade association.　　The three-month rolling average of billings for North American equipment firms totaled $2.29 billion in June, up nearly 1 percent from May and up 33 percent compared with June 2016, SEMI (San Jose, Calif.) said.　　SEMI earlier this month forecast that semiconductor equipment sales would increase by 20 percent this year to reach $49.4 billion. This total would represent an all-time record for fab tool sales, topping the mark of $47.7 billion set during the dotcom boom in 2000.　　"While month-to-month growth is slowing, 2017 will be a remarkable growth year for the semiconductor capital equipment industry," Tracy said.　　SEMI also announced that wafer shipments increased in the second quarter by 4.2 percent compared with the first quarter. It marked the fifth consecutive quarter of record shipments for global silicon wafer volume, SEMI said.
