June billings for semiconductor manufacturing equipment were 2.5% lower than May at  $2.01 billion, reports SEMI.

The figure is 19% down on the $2.48 billings of June 2018.

“June billings of North American equipment manufacturers fell nearly three percent when compared to the prior month,” says SEMzi CEO Ajit Manocha,  “while billings weakened for the most recent month, total global billings of suppliers based in North America for the most recent quarter are stronger than their first-quarter 2019 billings.”
