Report: Semi Capex Forecast to Slump in 2019, 2020

摘要

Semiconductor industry capital spending is expected to be down 15% year-over-year in 2019 and 5% in 2020, after growth of 11% in 2018, said IC Insights. Five of the past six semiconductor industry capex downturns have lasted two years before recovering, the research firm added. In every case between 1983 and 2010 where spending declined, a surge in spending of at least 45% occurred two years later.
