International Research and Consulting firm ，Gartner said that in 2013 the global semiconductor manufacturing equipment spending is expected to be total $ 34.6 billion, compared with $ 37.8 billion in 2012 decline by 8.5%. Gartner said that as the mobile phone market becoming soft lead 28 nanometer (nm) disinvestment, in 2013 capital spending will be reduced by 6.8%. Gartner research's vice president ,Dean Freeman said: "The weakness in the semiconductor market situation continued into the first quarter of 2013, making the new equipment purchases facing downward pressure. Nevertheless, semiconductor devices quarter revenues have begun to improve, in addition, the book to bill ratio (book-to-billratio) also showed positive equipment spending will be warmed later this year. 2013, we expect the semiconductor industry will sweep away the current economic uncertainty, all areas of expenditure in the subsequent increase in the forecast period will show a trend broadly. " Logic expenditure capital expenditure in 2013 has always been the main driving force; however, the mobile phone market has been inhibited chemotaxis soft third quarter investment in 28 nm, this situation is expected to continue into the fourth quarter of 2013. Memory spending is already showing improvement, the second half of its total expenditures in 2013 to be better than the first half. Gartner said that capital spending is highly concentrated in a few companies. Intel, TSMC and Samsung and other manufacturers that accounted for the first three in 2013 spending more than half. The top five semiconductor manufacturers has exceeded 2013 total 65% of the total expenditure, the top ten enterprises has reached more 76% of the total expenditure. 2013 after spending potential bullish, with improved memory market driven production capacity, Intel later this year will also be put into 14 nm primiparous. Gartner predicts that by 2014 semiconductor capital spending will increase by 14.1% in 2015 will further grow 13.8%. The next cycle of recession in 2016, will be a slight decrease of 2.8%, followed by 2017 will return to positive growth.
