According to the latest information from International Semiconductor Equipment and Materials Industries Association, the average shipment amount of semiconductor equipment manufacturers in North America was initially estimated at 2.052 billion U.S. dollars in November 2017. The average monthly shipment amount from October 2016 to the present day has not only been for 14 consecutive months Increase, and the monthly increase of more than 20% each year.Data show that although the average monthly shipments from July to October 2017 monthly decrease, but November shipments again showed a monthly increase in value and the final value of October Compared with $ 2.019 billion in November, shipments increased by 1.6% in November, compared with $ 1,613 million for the same period of 2016, representing an annual increase of 27.2% and an annual increase of 3.3% over the 23.9% recorded in October. SEMI Industry Dan Tracy, a senior director of research and statistics, said North American semiconductor equipment makers saw modest growth in average shipments in November, bringing their record shipments to record levels from the beginning of 2017. As new fabs in mainland China start to install equipment, The shipment volume is still expected to show a positive uptick in 2018. SEMI's monthly average shipments of North American semiconductor equipment makers are based on the monthly sales of semiconductor equipment based in North America Within 3 consecutive months ending amount shipped moving average is calculated.
