The decline in 2008 was just the beginning, the year of 2009 witnessed more dramatically drop, and the revenue of nearly all the manufacturers was less than 50% of the level in 2007, or even 20%. Especially lithography industry in the front-end area of semiconductor equipment, the top three manufacturers, ASML, NIKON and CANON, respectively fell by 44%, 73% and 84%. Almost all the manufacturers have suffered the loss. It was a bit better for the manufacturers in the back-end field of semiconductor equipment industry, particularly testing sector, it witnessed a small drop. The situation improved in the second half of 2009, particularly in memory field, the largest market in semiconductor equipment industry. In IDM sector, Intel is still the largest semiconductor equipment client. Since semiconductor equipment industry is lack of unparalleled applications, revolutionary products and technologies, so it is not likely that the rapid growth during 2005-2007 will come back.
