SEMI Announces Year-End Consensus Forecast for Chip Equipment Industry Semiconductor Equipment Companies Project $18.9 Billion Market for 2002 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SAN JOSE, Calif., December 4, 2002 -- The leading manufacturers of semiconductor
equipment expect sales to decline more than 32 percent this year from the $28 billion posted in 2001 according to the year-end edition of the SEMI Capital Equipment Consensus Forecast, released here today by Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) at the annual SEMICONR Japan exposition. Results based on a survey of global semiconductor equipment manufacturers indicate the market for new chip manufacturing, testing and assembly equipment in 2002 will reach $18.9 billion, 32 percent below the $28 billion in sales posted in 2001. Survey respondents expect the market for capital equipment to show a modest recovery beginning next year, growing 15 percent in 2003 to $21.8 billion and 21 percent in 2004 to $26.4 billion. Survey results indicate an expected flattening of the market in 2005, with growth of four percent to $27.5 billion. "History has shown forecasting in this industry to be an inexact, if not precarious, task. Nonetheless, the 2002 year-end consensus is in line with the available year-to-date results and reflects a second year of extremely challenging business for SEMI members," said Stanley Myers, president and CEO of SEMI. "The outlook for a $3 billion market expansion for equipment in 2003 fits the prevailing sentiment that capital expenditures will resume in the latter part of the year as inventories are burned-off and manufacturing capacity utilization increases." The SEMI Consensus Forecast includes input from the association's member companies in the United States, Europe, Asia and Japan. The forecast results are based on data collected between October and November 2002 by the SEMI Industry Research and Statistics department. The following survey results are given in terms of market size in billions of dollars and percentage of growth over the prior year: |

North American Semiconductor Equipment Industry Posts August 2002 Book-to-Bill Ratio of 1.14 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SAN JOSE, Calif., September 18, 2002 -- The North American-based manufacturers
of semiconductor equipment posted $1.12 billion in orders in August 2002 (three-month average basis) and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.14, according to the August 2002 Express Report published today by Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI). A book-to-bill of 1.14 means that $114 worth of new orders were received for every $100 of product billed for the month. The three-month average of worldwide bookings in August 2002 was $1.12 billion. The bookings figure is 5 percent below the revised July 2002 level of $1.18 billion yet 57 percent above the $715 million in orders posted in August 2001. The three-month average of worldwide billings in August 2002 was $981million. The billings figure is 1 percent above the revised July 2002 level of $969 million and 14 percent below the August 2001 billings levelof $1.14 billion. "The decline in orders was anticipated considering recent announcements from chip and capital equipment manufacturers about the poor visibility for the semiconductor industry in the second half of this year," said Dan Tracy, Ph.D., director, Industry Research and Statistics for SEMI. "While bookings are considerably higher than one year ago, the overall order trend is not providing any signal of substantial further improvement this year." The SEMI book-to-bill is a ratio of three-month moving average bookings to three-month moving average billings for the North American semiconductor equipment industry. Billings and bookings figures are in millions of U.S. dollars. |

SEMI、2002年第２四半期のシリコンウェーハ出荷面積を発表 増大するも、以前として2000年ピーク時には及ばず |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SEMI(Semiconductor Equipment and Materials
International、本部：米国カリフォルニア州サンノゼ)は、8月6日 （米国時間）、2002年第2四半期（暦年）の全世界のシリコンウェーハ出荷面積は、2002年第1四半期と比べ26% 増加した、と発表しました。 2002年第2四半期の全世界のシリコンウェーハ出荷面積は、12億7300万平方インチ(約82万1千m2）で、前四半期 の10億1100万平方インチ(約65万2千m2)を上回りました。今四半期の全世界出荷面積は2001年の第2四半期と 比較すると29%増加していますが、ピーク時の2000年第3四半期の14億5700万平方インチ(約94万m2)と比較する と、13%の減少となっています。 SEMIのプレジデント兼CEO スタンリー・マイヤーズは、「昨今の状況では、大きな設備投資はいまだ困難と思われ ますが、今四半期のシリコンウェーハ出荷面積のめざましい成長は、厳しい年の後としては良い傾向です。現在の シリコンウェーハの設備稼働率は、2000年ピーク時の13％減となっていますが、半導体デバイス産業の稼働率より は高くなっており、デバイスメーカーが2002年後半も成長が続くものと予測していますので、さらに供給がタイトに なる可能性があります。企業と個人の消費支出について今年後半の見通しが立たないことは、半導体産業全体に 影響をあたえる明らかな不安材料と言えるでしょう。」と、述べました。 |

North American Semiconductor Equipment Industry Posts June 2002 Book-to-Bill Ratio of 1.28 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SAN JOSE, Calif., July 19, 2002 -- The North American-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted $1.16 billion in orders in June 2002 (three-month average basis) and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.28, according to the June 2002 Express Report published today by Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI). A book-to-bill of 1.28 means that $128 worth of new orders were received for every $100 of product billed for the month. The three-month average of worldwide bookings in June 2002 was $1.16 billion. The bookings figure is five percent above the revised May 2002 level of $1.11 billion and 59 percent above the $731 million in orders posted in June 2001. The three-month average of worldwide billings in June 2002 was $906 million. The billings figure is four percent above the revised May 2002 level of $869.6 million and 33 percent below the June 2001 billings level of $1.36 billion. "Amidst mixed signals about capital spending plans from global chip makers, the North American-based semiconductor equipment industry has posted several months of incremental billings growth," said Stanley Myers, president and CEO of SEMI. "While there are concerns about the strength of improvements this year, seven months of sequential bookings growth and our recent industry consensus survey support expectations for a market rebound in 2003 and 2004." The SEMI book-to-bill is a ratio of three-month moving average bookings to three-month moving average billings for the North American semiconductor equipment industry. Billings and bookings figures are in millions of U.S. dollars. |

SEMICON West Opens in San Jose Visitors To See Latest Developments in Final Manufacturing Technology |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SAN JOSE, Calif., July 17, 2002 ? The final manufacturing segment of SEMICON
West 2002, the biggest event for the semiconductor packaging and test industry, opened today with a sold-out roster of 500 exhibitor companies and expectations of a recovery in the industry in 2003. Held at the San Jose Convention Center and presented by Semiconductor Equipment Materials International (SEMI), SEMICON West is expected to inject more than $12 million into the local economy. It will be followed by the wafer processing segment of SEMICON West, opening Monday, July 22 at Moscone Center, San Francisco. Combined, the two exposition segments feature 1,500 companies exhibiting products used in the manufacture of semiconductors. More than 50,000 people pre-registered for the combined events. With analysts and industry pundits predicting an upturn in the semiconductor sector in 2003, SEMICON West provides an opportunity to prepare for better times ahead by taking in the latest developments and trends in semiconductor technology, equipment, materials and services. One positive sign today was the release of the SEMI mid-year consensus forecast, which showed that companies in the semiconductor equipment industry expect worldwide shipments of assembly and packaging gear to grow 29 percent in 2003 after a 23 percent decline this year. The test sector is forecast to grow 43 percent in 2003, compared with a 19 percent decline this year. "Given the severity of business conditions in the overall economy and especially the information technology sector, it comes as no surprise that the consensus forecast shows another drop in the worldwide market for capital equipment in 2002," said Stanley Myers, president and CEO of SEMI. "However, the good news is that survey participants are positive about growth prospects for the next two years." SEMICON West is one of the Bay Area's largest annual trade events. Last year, 60,174 people from 59 different countries registered for the two separate shows, which have traditionally been held back-to-back in the same week. Next year, SEMICON West resumes as week long-expo, running July 14-18 in both San Francisco and San Jose.
