Semiconductor Equipment Outlook
Against our expectation for seasonality in 4Q20, equipment sales have not shown any signs of slowing. Foundries, IDMs, and China continue to invest in capacity to manufacture future devices in advanced nodes. Wafer Fab equipment is expected to grow 17% in 2020, Test is expected to grow 14%, and Assembly Equipment 16%. 2021 is cautiously optimistic with 6% overall equipment growth.
