Chip-Making Equipment Sales Posted a 6% Rise
Bizjournals.com reports that the worldwide sales of semiconductor-manufacturing equipment have posted a 6 percent increase compared to last year’s output. Manufacturing technology suppliers association SEMI (San Jose, California-based) views this as a good sign.
Asian markets such as China, Japan and North Korea are among the top sellers of semiconductor-manufacturing equipment, with Taiwan leading in sales at $10.65 billion and Japan coming next at $9.31 billion.
While some industries find it hard to rise above the struggling economy, other industries continue to experience favorable sales. This means there are still hope for business and trade in the international market, if not across the country.
