Chip Mounter Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

The Chip Mounter Market is expected to grow from USD 5.836 billion in 2025 to USD 7.179 billion by 2030, with a 4.23% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).

Chip mounters, also known as chip shooters, are critical to Surface Mount Technology (SMT) assembly lines in the semiconductor industry, determining automation levels and manufacturing efficiency. The global chip mounter market is poised for growth during the forecast period, driven by robust demand in the semiconductor sector. However, chip shortages and manufacturing constraints pose challenges, creating supply gaps that limit semiconductor production and, consequently, the demand for chip mounters.

Market Drivers

Growth in End-User Industries

The chip mounter market is propelled by vigorous growth in end-user industries, including consumer electronics, automotive, communication, and technology. These sectors are experiencing increased demand for semiconductors, which in turn boosts the need for SMT and chip mounters in production assembly lines. The consumer electronics segment is a key driver, fueled by rising disposable income and technological advancements. Smart devices, such as smartphones, smartwatches, and smart TVs, are seeing heightened demand as consumers prioritize enhanced living standards. This surge in consumer electronics directly increases the need for chip mounters to support semiconductor production for these devices.

The automotive industry is another significant contributor, with the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) driving semiconductor demand. Innovations in the automotive sector, particularly the shift toward EVs, have increased the need for advanced electronics, further necessitating chip mounters. Notable developments include Maruti's planned launch of its first all-electric car in 2025, alongside ongoing investments and product launches by major players like Tesla and Hyundai, which are expanding their EV portfolios. These trends underscore the growing reliance on semiconductors, amplifying the demand for chip mounters in manufacturing.

Market Restraints

Despite the positive outlook, the chip mounter market faces challenges due to global chip shortages. These shortages stem from robust demand outpacing manufacturing capacity, leading to supply constraints that hinder semiconductor production. As a result, the demand for SMT and chip mounters is indirectly affected, as lower semiconductor output limits the need for assembly equipment. Addressing these supply chain issues will be crucial to sustaining market growth.

Geographical Outlook

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to lead the chip mounter market with the fastest growth rate during the forecast period. The region's booming industrial sector and expanding production units have established it as a global manufacturing hub, driving demand for chip mounters. Increased disposable income has further fueled consumer electronics consumption, amplifying the need for semiconductor production equipment. In the automotive sector, the region, particularly China and India, is witnessing significant EV adoption. China remains a global leader in the EV market, while India is emerging as a fast-growing player. These trends bolster the demand for chip mounters to support semiconductor manufacturing for both consumer electronics and EVs.

The global chip mounter market is set for growth, driven by rising demand for semiconductors in consumer electronics and automotive sectors, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. The proliferation of smart devices and electric vehicles, coupled with increased disposable income, supports market expansion. However, chip shortages pose a significant challenge, constraining semiconductor production and chip mounter demand. Industry stakeholders must address supply chain issues to fully capitalize on the market's potential, particularly in high-growth regions like Asia-Pacific.
