KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 21): North America-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted US$3.93 billion in billings worldwide in November 2021 (three-month average basis), said the US-based Semiconductor Equipment & Materials International (SEMI).
In its November Equipment Market Data Subscription (EMDS) Billings Report published on Monday (Dec 20), SEMI said the billings figure is 5.0% higher than final October 2021 billings of US$3.74 billion and 50.6% higher than November 2020 billings of US$2.61 billion.
SEMI president and CEO Ajit Manocha said billings of North America-based semiconductor equipment manufacturers extended a robust uptrend to reach another new record in November.
“Industry performance remains unprecedented despite persistent supply chain challenges,” he said.
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 US dollars.
