SMT equipment market is showing first signs of economic improvement

摘要

After a strong showing in 2010 and early 2011, the SMT equipment market posted declining numbers in the second half of 2011 and the beginning of 2012. However, at the end of the second quarter of 2012, SIPLACE's market analysts have seen the first signs of a further economic upswing. New orders and deliveries are especially on the rise in China, which currently accounts for roughly 50% of the global market.
