Announced the international semiconductor industry association, SEMI global semiconductor manufacturing equipment sales of $2015 in 36.53 billion, fell 3% from a year earlier. All equipment orders fell 5% in 2014. SEMI and Japanese semiconductor equipment industry association (SEAJ), which is based on monthly report provided by the equipment manufacturers of more than 100, do statistics for this report. (table 1).

Announced the international semiconductor industry association, SEMI global semiconductor manufacturing equipment sales of $2015 in 36.53 billion, fell 3% from a year earlier.

Global semiconductor equipment market statistics report shows that global shipping for $36.53 billion in 2015, less than $2014 in 37.5 billion sales. This report contains the wafer in process equipment, after period of packaging test equipment, and other front-end equipment. Other recent equipment including mask/times shrinkage mask manufacturing, wafer manufacturing and fab facilities.

To Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and China's spending rate increase, but in North America and other regions and Europe's new equipment market is a downward trend. Taiwan has fourth consecutive year held largest semiconductor equipment market, equipment sales amount of $9.64 billion. And expand and go beyond North America, South Korea and Japan market ranked second and third respectively, and North America is a $5.12 billion amount into the fourth. The Chinese mainland market scale is still beyond the European market and other areas.

Other global sales fell 16% in the front category; Wafer processing equipment market shrank by 2%; Overall test equipment sales decline of 6%; Packaging division is reduced by 18%.
