This decline is attributed to the lack of favorable foreign exchange conditions for Japanese vendors and a shift in purchasing priorities towards U.S. equipment [4][39]. - **Provincial Import Trends**: The largest buyers of WFE have shifted from Guangdong (21%) to Shanghai (32%) in July, suggesting a potential for sustained strength in these regions into the second half of 2025 and beyond [5][27]. Company-Specific Insights - **ASML**: Projected sales in China for Q3CY25 are estimated at **EUR 1.51 billion**, reflecting a **46% YoY decline** but flat compared to the previous quarter. The monthly import data is noted to be quite variable [6][65]. - **LRCX (Lam Research)**: Expected to see a **14% QoQ increase** in China revenues for the September quarter, with China exposure estimated to be in the high 30s percentage of total revenues [7][81]. - **AMAT (Applied Materials)**: Reported a **44% QoQ increase** in China revenues, aligning with regression analysis predictions of a **53% increase** [8][90]. - **Kokusai**: Anticipated to see a **41% YoY** and **37% QoQ increase** in China revenue, with a significant contribution expected in the September quarter [12]. - **Advantest**: Projected to experience a **38% YoY** and **32% QoQ decline** in China revenue, indicating potential challenges ahead [13]. Additional Important Insights - **Market Dynamics**: The overall WFE market in China is becoming increasingly significant, with global vendors still capturing approximately **84%** of the market share in 2024. The data on imports provides critical insights into demand trends [23]. - **Investment Implications**: Companies like NAURA, AMEC, and Piotech are positioned favorably due to their broad product portfolios and domestic market leadership, benefiting from the ongoing WFE domestic substitution in China [15][16][17]. - **Long-term Outlook**: The overall sentiment suggests that while there may be short-term fluctuations, the long-term growth trajectory for the WFE market in China remains positive, driven by domestic demand and technological advancements [20][22]. This summary encapsulates the key points discussed in the conference call, highlighting the current state and future outlook of the semiconductor capital equipment industry, particularly in relation to WFE imports to China.
