North American Semiconductor Equipment Industry Posts July 2019 Billings

Jul 25, 2019

MILPITAS, Calif. — July 25, 2019 — North America-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted $2.01 billion in billings worldwide in June 2019 (three-month average basis), according to the June Equipment Market Data Subscription (EMDS) Billings Report published today by SEMI. The billings figure is 2.5 percent lower than the final May 2019 level of $2.07 billion, and is 19 percent lower than the June 2018 billings level of $2.48 billion.

“June billings of North American equipment manufacturers fell nearly three percent when compared to the prior month,” said Ajit Manocha, president and CEO of SEMI. “While billings weakened for the most recent month, total global billings of suppliers based in North America for the most recent quarter are stronger than their first-quarter 2019 billings.”

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.
