North America-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted $2.60 billion in billings worldwide in July 2020 (three-month average basis), according to the July Equipment Market Data Subscription (EMDS) Billings Report published today by SEMI.
The billings figure is 11.8% higher than the final June 2020 level of $2.32 billion and is 27.6% higher than the July 2019 billings level of $2.03 billion.
“The second half of 2020 has started strong with double-digit billings growth for North America-based semiconductor equipment manufacturers,” said Ajit Manocha, SEMI president and CEO. "The strength reflects the semiconductor industry's criticality in today's world and the driving forces in place for long-term industry growth."
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.
