Global Semiconductor Equipment Billings Jump 38% Year-Over-Year in Q3 2021, Log Fifth Straight Quarterly Record, SEMI Reports

MILPITAS,Calif.,Dec. 2,2021 --Global semiconductor equipment billings increased a robust 38% year-over-year to US$26.8 billion in the third quarter of 2021,an 8% rise from the prior quarter to register their fifth consecutive quarter-over-quarter record high,SEMI announced today in itsWorldwide Semiconductor Equipment Market Statistics (WWSEMS) Report.

"Strong secular demand for chips across a wide range of markets including communications,computing,healthcare,online services and automotive has fueled this tremendous run of record quarterly growth for semiconductor equipment," said Ajit Manocha,SEMI president and CEO. "The semiconductor industry has demonstrated great resiliency in the face of disruptive global challenges including the chip shortage and ongoing pandemic."

Compiled from data submitted by members of SEMI and the Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan (SEAJ),the Worldwide SEMS Report is a summary of the monthly billings figures for the global semiconductor equipment industry.
