(InfoWorld) - Strong demand for semiconductors has prompted chip makers to spend more on production line equipment than anticipated so far this year, an analyst from Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) said Tuesday. The chip equipment market is on pace to grow 20 percent this year to over $39 billion, said Dan Tracy, senior director of industry research and statistics at SEMI. That figure is higher than the 18 percent year-on-year growth the industry organization forecast in July. The growth rate will make 2006 the second strongest year ever for the industry, after its peak year in 2000. Sales of materials used in the chip making process, such as silicon wafers, are also growing faster than anticipated, Tracy said, and will likely reach a 10 percent year-on-year growth rate, higher than the 7 percent rate SEMI had previously forecast. Japan remains on pace to be the biggest spender on chip equipment this year, accounting for around a fifth of all purchases, followed by Taiwan and South Korea. Around half of all new chip factory projects are in Asia, Tracy said. But there is danger in the strong spending trend. Around 40 percent of all new production lines currently being built will start churning out chips in late 2007, potentially flooding the market with supply, Tracy said. SEMI predicts spending on new chip equipment in 2007 will be flat compared to this year.
