There were no changes in the rankings list this year due to stable market conditions and the absence of major mergers and acquisitions. Carl Zeiss SMT maintained its top spot among critical subsystems suppliers with sales of lenses valued at $1260M while Edwards, in second place, narrowed the gap slightly by growing sales by 19% to $660M. MKS Instruments also outgrew the market as it benefited from strong sales across its extensive product range to hold third place with sales of $508M. Brooks Automation lost ground with sales declining slightly, but still managed to keep fourth place just ahead of Pfeiffer Vacuum. Advanced Energy had a solid year and asserted its dominance of the RF power subsystems market by growing 15% to retain sixth place. Horiba and EBARA Corporation kept seventh and eighth place respectively with Ultra Clean Technology taking ninth. Finally, Ichor Systems managed to just stay ahead of ASML by putting in a good performance with sales increasing 15% to retain tenth.
