Photoresist Sales Fell 23% in 2001, Dataquest Says
Online staff -- Electronic News, 6/20/2002
Photoresist sales reached their lowest levels in more than a decade last year, according to a recent report from market researcher Gartner Dataquest, but seasonal demand should return by the end of 2002.

---That most likely shows that Semiconductor Manufacturers ran less wafers last year. Less Photoresist, Less wafers. There MIGHT be a bright spot......

Analysts for the San Jose-based research company said they believe the photoresist market is showing signs of a recovery.
"Already today, material vendors are seeing increased business activity as fab activity is finally improving," said Takashi Ogawa, principal analyst at Dataquest’s semiconductor manufacturing research group. "Since the third quarter of 2001, silicon demand has been rising on a sequential quarterly pattern. The big question is whether the current inventory-replenishment-driven improvements will have legs when true demand comes to light."
