Global sales of semiconductor manufacturing equipment are on pace to reach an unprecedented US$165.9 billion in 2026, a 23.2% jump from the previous year, according to industry association SEMI's mid-year forecast. This growth is expected to continue in the coming years as AI reshapes the chip industry's investment landscape.

SK Hynix has begun placing orders with major suppliers for advanced DRAM manufacturing equipment for the first phase of its Yongin Y1 fab, with the initial installation expected to support production of about 20,000 wafers per month, according to ZDNet Korea, which cited semiconductor and equipment industry sources.

ASML, Imec and TSMC are collaborating in southern Taiwan to develop manufacturing equipment for two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor materials, marking a significant step toward commercializing technologies widely viewed as essential for extending Moore's Law beyond the limits of conventional silicon scaling.

SK Hynix has priced a US$26.5 billion Nasdaq offering, giving the world's leading supplier of high-bandwidth memory fresh capital to expand DRAM wafer production, advanced packaging and leading-edge manufacturing equipment at the same time.
