About this data
Monthly billings of semiconductor manufacturing equipment made in Japan and their year-on-year change — one of the earliest reads on the global semiconductor capital spending cycle. SEAJ stopped publishing bookings and the book-to-bill ratio in March 2017. Figures are three-month moving averages of equipment made in Japan, whether sold at home or exported. The book-to-bill ratio above 1 means orders are running ahead of shipments. Source: Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan.
