Global semiconductor equipment billings increased 4% year-over-year to USD 26.8 billion (EUR 24.29 billion) in the second quarter of 2024, while quarter-over-quarter billings edged up 1% during the same period, SEMI announced today in its Worldwide Semiconductor Equipment Market Statistics (WWSEMS) Report.
“Global semiconductor equipment billings totaled USD53.2 billion for the first half of 2024, reflecting a healthy year so far for the industry overall,” said Ajit Manocha, SEMI President and CEO. “The semiconductor equipment market has returned to growth driven by strategic investments to support continued strong demand for advanced technologies and regions seeking to bolster their chipmaking ecosystems.”
Despite this, billings were down 42% YoY in Europe, 19% YoY in North America, 20% in Korea and 31% in Taiwan. Growth was driven by China and the rest of the world.
