North American Semiconductor Equipment Industry Posts May 2018 Billings

MILPITAS, Calif. — June 19, 2018 — North America-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted $2.70 billion in billings worldwide in May 2018 (three-month average basis), according to the May Equipment Market Data Subscription (EMDS) Billings Report published today by SEMI. The billings figure is 0.6 percent higher than the final April 2018 level of $2.69 billion, and is 19.2 percent higher than the May 2017 billings level of $2.27 billion.

“May 2018 monthly global billings of North American equipment manufacturers exceeded last month's level to set yet another record,” said Ajit Manocha, president and CEO of SEMI. “Demand for semiconductor equipment remains strong on the back of smart, data-centric applications such as artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and edge computing.”

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.

	Billings (3-mo. avg)	Year-Over-Year
December 2017	$2,398.4	28.3%
January 2018	$2,370.1	27.5%
February 2018	$2,417.8	22.5%
March 2018	$2,431.8	16.9%
April 2018 (final)	$2,689.9	25.9%
May 2018 (prelim)	$2,705.8	19.2%
