The Global Semiconductor Equipment Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 83.3 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.3% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Semiconductor equipment is used for manufacturing integrated circuits, memory chips, and optoelectronics components. These devices find applications in various end-use industries including consumer electronics, healthcare, and automotive. Semiconductor equipment help perform critical steps such as deposition, etch, ion implantation and thermal diffusion during the wafer fabrication process.
Market key trends:
Miniaturization of semiconductors is one of the key trends witnessed in the global semiconductor equipment market. Continuous advancement and miniaturization help pack more transistors in a given chip area which boosts the performance of devices. Additionally, continuous downscaling also drives performance, power and cost benefits. For instance, gate length of MOS transistors reduced from 65 nanometer (nm) to 45nm to 32nm and later to 7nm over the years. This ongoing trend towards smaller feature sizes is expected to fuel the demand for advanced wafer fabrication equipment in the coming years.
Segment Analysis
The global semiconductor equipment market is segmented by product type, front-end equipment, and back-end equipment. The front-end equipment segment dominates the market and accounts for around 60% share due to the increasing demand for logic and memory chips across various industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, and data center.
