April 10 news, according to foreign media reports, the decline in demand for consumer electronics products, resulting in reduced demand for semiconductor components, affecting a number of semiconductor manufacturers, including memory chip manufacturers, and as the capacity utilization rate of semiconductor manufacturers decreases, the pace of investment expansion slows, also leading to a slowdown in demand for equipment, affecting sales of semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

Data from the Japan Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment Association (SEAJ) show that by February this year, sales of semiconductor manufacturing equipment in Japan had fallen for five consecutive months, from October last year to February.

According to data released by the Japan Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment Association, sales of semiconductor manufacturing equipment in Japan reached 380.929 billion yen in October last year.(equivalent to about $2.895 billion, CTOnews.com notes: currently about 19.846 billion yuan), but the following four months, month-on-month decline of 8.9%, 3.3%, 8.6% and 2.2% respectively, February this year month-on-month decline of 1.9% to 294.169 billion yen (currently about 15.326 billion yuan).

As demand for consumer electronics shows no signs of improving significantly, demand for semiconductor components remains sluggish, which means that sales of related equipment are likely to continue to decline month-on-month in March and beyond.

In the global semiconductor industry chain, Japanese manufacturers are an important link, supplying a large number of equipment and key raw materials for the manufacture of semiconductor products, which is crucial to the development of the semiconductor industry, but in turn, the development of the semiconductor industry also affects the performance of Japanese equipment and raw material manufacturers.
