Below are some of the key findings from our analysis of the semiconductor chip handler market
The global semiconductor chip handler market research report predicts the market to grow at a CAGR of just over 4% by the end of the forecast period. One of the primary semiconductor chip handler market drivers is the increased demand for compact electronic devices. This trend is evident in sectors such as mobile phones, automotive, healthcare equipment, and even industrial manufacturing. This has led to semiconductor IC manufacturers investing in R&D to work towards reducing the size of ICs along with improved performance. Such R&D activities have resulted in the emergence of micro-electrical-mechanical systems (MEMs) and 3D stacked ICs. Consequently, growth in the MEMs market will propel demand for testing equipment for the complex ICs until the end of the forecast period.

An important semiconductor chip handler market trend is the emergence of strip testing. Integrated device manufacturers and subcontractors use test-in-strip technology to cut down on costs. This technology helps testers to handle multiple small ICs at the same time, test over 100 in parallel while reducing bottlenecks. Unlike gravity, pick-and-place, and turret type handlers, strip test handlers can handle IC chips with 0.3mm x 0.6mm dimensions and can test more than 100 devices in parallel without jams.
The OSAT segment is the largest semiconductor chip handler market shareholder, accounting for close to 63% of market share by the end of the forecast period. The growth of the semiconductor industry and rising costs of packaging and testing equipment will create a high demand for automated test equipment along with chip handlers from these OSATs. They are also investing in precision and high-speed IC test handlers so that they can speed up production and deliver high-performance products to market faster.
