The global semiconductor metrology and inspection market size was valued at $7,293.3 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $13,246.8 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 6.2% from 2022 to 2031.
Semiconductor metrology and inspection instruments are designed for wafer and thin film in-line inspection after semiconductor processing. It involves the use of inspection equipment to check for compliance or non-compliance, as well as abnormality or unsuitability, in terms of specific criteria. It is a process for detecting any particles or defects in a wafer.
Increase in demand for electronics devices by the consumers drives the demand for chips, which in turn is expected to boost the demand for semiconductor metrology and inspection indirectly throughout the projected period. The mass production of electronic products, such as smartphones, wearables, and white goods, in China and Taiwan, makes use of several devices, such as optoelectronics, MEMS, and MOEMS. Furthermore, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness higher growth rate, owing to increase in spending on the development of semiconductor industry in countries such as India and China, which drives the market growth. Moreover, nations such as the U.S., South Korea, China and India, are witnessing increase in investments for semiconductor manufacturing industries. For instance, in June 2022, India government has announced that, India will spend $30 billion to restructure its IT industry and build up a semiconductor supply chain. All such factors are fueling the semiconductor metrology and inspection market growth.
The semiconductor metrology and inspection market is segmented on the basis of type, technology, organization size, and region.
