Global semiconductor-manufacturing equipment billings totaled $40.53 billion in the second quarter of 2026. That represented an increase of 23% from the corresponding quarter of 2025.

The figures came from SEMI’s Worldwide Semiconductor Equipment Market Statistics report. SEMI is an industry association covering the global semiconductor and electronics design and manufacturing supply chain.

The disclosed amount refers specifically to semiconductor-equipment billings, not semiconductor revenue, chip shipments, fabrication capacity or AI-accelerator sales. The supplied source summary did not provide regional billings, equipment-category splits or a sequential growth rate.
