    SEMI: Global Fab Spending to See 2019 Decline, New Highs in 2020

    Expected to decline 14% in 2019 but set a new record in 2020.

    Global fab equipment spending is expected to decline 14% (US$53 billion) in 2019 but stage a strong recovery of 27% (US$67 billion) to set a new record in 2020, according to the Q1 2019 World Fab Forecast report issued by the Industry Research & Statistics Group at SEMI. 
     
    Spurred by a slowdown in the memory sector, the 2019 downturn marks the end of a three-year growth run for fab equipment spending.

    SEMI LogoOver the past two years, memory accounted for an annual share of about 55% of all equipment, a proportion expected to drop to as low as 45% in 2019 but rebound to 55% in 2020. With memory representing an outsize share of total spending, any fluctuations in the memory market impacts overall equipment spending. 


     
    A review of fab equipment spending by half year shows that high inventory levels and weakening demand led to a bigger-than-expected decline in DRAM and NAND (3D NAND) in the latter part of 2018, driving down memory spending 14%. The downward trend is expected to continue into the first half of 2019, with memory spending dropping 36%, though memory spending could rebound 35% in the second half of the year.

    Despite the comeback in the second half of 2019, the report points to a 30% plunge in overall memory spending for the year after reaching record highs in 2018.

    Foundry is the second largest sector after memory for fab equipment spending. Over the past two years, the annual share ranged from 25% to 30% per year. In 2019 and 2020, the yearly share is expected to hold steady at about 30%, per the report.

    And while foundries typically fluctuate less than the memory sector in equipment spending, they are not immune to shifts in the market. For example, following the decline of memory, foundry equipment spending fell by 13% in the second half of 2018 from the first half of the year.

    SEMI’s World Fab Forecast report details fab spending, capacities, and technology geometries by quarter and by product type with over 1,300 front-end fab listings. Since its most recent publication in November 2018, 23 new facilities/lines have been added to the report.
