North America-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted $1.83 billion in billings worldwide in March 2019 (three-month average basis), according to the March Equipment Market Data Subscription (EMDS) Billings Report published today by SEMI. The billings figure is 1.9% lower than the final February 2019 level of $1.87 billion, and is 24.6% lower than the March 2018 billings level of $2.43 billion.
SEMI Logo“March billings of North American test and assembly equipment manufacturers showed modest improvement over the prior month,” said Terry Tsao, chief marketing officer of SEMI. “Despite the increase for this segment, overall billings growth expectations for North American semiconductor equipment suppliers appear to be muted for the rest of the year.”
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.
