Total semiconductor equipment sales, OEM perspective

SEMI on 2027. Every value ever published for this period, in the order it was issued. Nothing here is computed: no delta, no percentage, no judgement about the movement.

Everything published for this period

1 statement, so this figure has been published once and not yet restated. That is a fact about the publisher, not a gap in this record. Ordered by the date each was issued.

The result

No result for this period is on the record. That means this record does not hold one, which is not the same as the publisher not having reported one.

Cite this

The figure, the publisher, the date it was issued, the source, and what it replaced. The last of those is the part no other source can give you. Every qualifier the publisher attached travels with it.

One line. The value is deliberately not repeated here: on a slide the number is on the slide, and a footnote that restates it is one edit away from disagreeing with it.

Two lines, tab separated: the headings and one row. Tabs rather than commas because several of these values contain commas, and quoting rules are a second thing to get wrong. The columns do not line up on screen and do line up once pasted.
