and machine learning that continue to fuel demand for greater connectivity, large data centers and big data are also behind the increase. “The COVID-19 pandemic is
accel erating a digital transformation sweeping across nearly every industry imaginable to reshape the way we work and live,” says Ajit Manocha, SEMI president and CEO. “The pro- jected record spending and 38 new fabs reinforce the role of semiconductors as the bedrock of leading-edge technolo- gies that are driving this transforma- tion and promise to help solve some of the world’s greatest challenges.” Over the next few years, Korea
is expected to be the largest spender on fab capacity and count in Asia, pouring in a total in the range of $15 and $19 billion USD. Taiwan is next, with between $14 and $17 billion. China is predicted to be in third place, with a total investment be - tween $11 and $13 billion. Memory accounts for the bulk of
the increase in 300 mm fab spending. DRAM and 3D NAND contributions to 300 mm fab spending will be uneven from 2020 to 2024. Investments for logic/MPUs, however, will see a steady improvement from 2021 to 2023. Power-related devices are expected to be the standout sector in 300 mm fab investments, with over 200 percent growth in 2021 and double-digit increases in 2022 and 2023. Contact: SEMI, 673 South

HANNOVER MESSE 2021

tomers without trade shows. They need a fixed date in the calendar when people come together to find innovation and orientation,” explains Köckler. “That is the DNA of the HANNOVER MESSE brand and it is a promise it will honor in 2021 — analog, digital and hybrid.” For exhibitors and visitors who
are unable to travel, HANNOVER MESSE offers new options in the digi- tal space. Online streaming studios and hybrid formats combine the physi- cal exhibition hall with the virtual realm. “In addition to our expertise staging trade fairs, we also have digital know-how, which we demonstrated this year with the HANNOVER MESSE Digital Days,” says Köckler. As a stage for economic policy,
HANNOVER MESSE continues to enable intense discourse between business, science and politics and thus contributes significantly to industrial transformation — the event’s main theme. In order to drive this process forward, decision-mak- ers from business and politics meet at the exhibition grounds or one of the high-level online conferences.

Page 77 IPC APEX Scheduled for March 2021
BANNOCKBURN, IL — IPC APEX Expo is now scheduled to be held in San Diego, California, from March 9 to 11. The show is a premier event for the electronics manufacturing indus- try, attracting nearly 10,000 profes- sionals from 45 countries. From its leading technical conference and application-focused professional development courses to its innova- tion-driven exhibit floor, IPC APEX Expo 2021 is expected to be packed with far-reaching ideas and insights. Attendees at all stages of their
careers can expect to access new mate- rial- and process-related research and best practices, learn about trending
materials and applications, address real-world issues, and experience a world-class industry collection of top suppliers, live demos and innovation. In North America, the PCB
industry has grown throughout 2020 year-on-year. IPC gauges the indus- try through a range of statistics, including rigid PCB and flexible cir- cuit sales and orders, growth trends by product types and company size tiers, demand for prototypes, sales growth in military and medical mar- kets, and other timely data. Year-on-year and year-to-date
growth rates provide the most mean- ingful view of industry growth.
Month-to-month comparisons should be made with caution as they reflect seasonal effects and short-term volatility. Because bookings tend to be more volatile than shipments, changes in the book-to-bill ratios from month to month may not be sig- nificant, unless a trend of more than three months is apparent. IPC’s monthly PCB industry statistics are based on data gathered from manu- facturers in the U.S. and Canada. Contact: IPC, 3000 Lakeside
