Obviously I am not Gottfried but I believe most of the answer lies in the fact that while the numbers of chips going into endless applications continues to rise many previously not believed to be commodity related chips are now so cheap to manufacture with such thin profit margins that very few companies are building new fabs (ordering lots of new equipment) to match rising chip sales.

Cyclical factors cannot be ignored as well.
