The semiconductor industry is both a large cleanroom consumables purchaser and even more concentrated than the pharmaceutical industry. The concentration in numbers of purchasers is offset by the increasing dispersion of geographical consumption. The largest generics investment has been in Asia. The semiconductor cleanroom activity in China, Taiwan, Korea and a number of Asian countries has grown faster than in Europe and the U.S.

World Cleanroom Markets forecasts the purchases of hardware and consumables for each country and in each industry. The forecasts of purchases by major customers is a new addition.
