Market research firm Gartner’s latest report released on Monday stated that in 2010, global semiconductor equipment market spending increased by 143% to nearly US$41 billion.
The report shows that all important sectors of the semiconductor industry saw significant growth in sales volume in 2010: Ate’s sales increased by 149%, wafer fabrication equipment (WFE) increased by 145%, and packaging and assembly equipment (PAE) increased by 127. %.
Klaus Rinnen, Gartner’s vice president, said: “The semiconductor equipment market has grown rapidly in 2010. The semiconductor market has seen a rebound in demand suppressed in 2008 and 2009, coupled with better-than-expected economic conditions. In 2010, storage equipment and foundry expenses were an important driver. In fact, all sectors have seen strong growth."
Lynn said: "Since the beginning of the new year, technology companies have been buying semiconductor equipment, followed by the large-scale production of manufacturers to expand production capacity, making this year one of the fastest growing semiconductor industry history. In addition, the top ten semiconductor fixed Equipment manufacturers have also undergone tremendous changes.†In 2010, the market share of the top 10 semiconductor fixed equipment manufacturers increased by nearly 2%, accounting for 63.4% of the total industry-wide revenue, compared with 61.6% in 2009.
Applied Materials remains firmly at the forefront of the semiconductor equipment market, but its share has not increased compared to 2009. ASML is the fastest-growing company among the top 10 semiconductor equipment manufacturers in 2010. The company's ranking rose one place, rising from third place to second place with a market share of 13%. Tokyo ElectrON dropped one place to third place, but its market share increased slightly.
Gartner said that the earthquake in Japan will have a short-term impact on the global semiconductor equipment market, and the outlook for revenue in the second quarter of this year will be bleak. However, Gartner analysts predict that the global semiconductor equipment market will recover in the second half of this year. Lynn said: "Obviously, after the earthquake in Japan, the semiconductor industry is facing the threat of supply chain disruption. The industry will still face severe challenges in the coming months."
