Semiconductor (capital equipment) industry
Article Abstract:
The sustained recovery of the global semiconductor market has resulted in an improved business environment for semiconductor capital equipment makers. The Asia-Pacific market may be returning to a high growth mode that existed before 1997, and this could mean increased equipment sales for the region. Semiconductors will continue to become smaller, faster, and more intricate, and manufacturers will require the most advanced machinery to produce them. Equities in this industry are quite volatile and cyclical and best suited for the courageous investor.
