The growing investment in new fabs is notably driving the lithography systems market growth, although factors such as technical challenges regarding the construction of EUV lithography systems may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the lithography systems industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Lithography Systems Market Driver
The growing investment in new fabs is one of the key drivers supporting the lithography systems market growth. Several investments are focused on the construction of fabs globally, especially in APAC. Once the construction of these fabs is complete, there will be an increase in the need for lithography systems to be installed in these facilities. Depending on the size of the fab and the volume production to be achieved, these fabs will be installed with more than 2-3 lithography systems. Hence, the construction of fabs will result in increased demand for lithography systems, thereby driving the market. On the other hand, an increase in the demand for LEDs, MEMS, and other analog components will result in a need to increase volume production. To achieve this, firms will focus on building new fabs and expanding present facilities, which will result in the demand for lithography equipment, thereby driving the market.
Key Lithography Systems Market Trend
Increasing sizes of wafers is one of the trends contributing to the lithography systems market growth. Increasing the size of wafers reduces manufacturing costs by almost 30%. Firms are showing an increasing interest in the production of 450-mm sized wafers. For example, Intel has invested in R and D for 450 mm and is building a production facility for the same. One of the major undertakings to develop 450-mm wafers is the G450C, a consortium that includes major firms such as IBM, Intel, TSMC, Samsung, and GLOBALFOUNDRIES. The consortium aims to develop the 450-mm wafer and manufacture the required equipment to process 450-mm wafers. Moreover, the use of larger wafers made from thick epitaxial silicon will allow the production of high-quality ICs at lower costs. This factor will drive market growth during the forecast period.
Key Lithography Systems Market Challenge
Technical challenges regarding the construction of EUV lithography systems is one of the factors hindering the lithography systems market growth. The present EUV lithography systems can be used to print tiny features on a wafer, but the major issue lies with the power source. The power source used for EUV lithography cannot generate enough power to enable a EUV scanner to operate at high speeds, which makes it economically unfeasible. The delays in identifying a power source have resulted in further complications, as these delays enable the EUV lithography systems to support smaller process nodes. Though power source issues continue to delay the full-scale commercialization of EUV lithography systems, there are several other challenges that are affecting the growth of the EUV lithography systems. Such as high tool costs, increased uptime, and stochastic phenomena. Such issues further increase the difficulty of manufacturing a viable EUV lithography system, thereby limiting the growth of the market.
This lithography systems market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.

The lithography systems market share growth by the ArF immersion lithography systems segment will be significant during the forecast period. To commercialize a viable EUV system, several investments were made in R and D by firms and scientific research institutes and laboratories. Though commercialization and adoption of EUV lithography systems are the biggest breakthroughs for the global semiconductor industry, not all firms are keen to install these EUV lithography systems for 7 nm process nodes. For example, TSMC stated that the firm would use 193 nm ArF immersion lithography systems, along with multiple patterning for the 7nm, with plans to begin the use of EUV lithography systems at the 5 nm process node. GLOBALFOUNDRIES will also follow a similar strategy. With the growing demand for miniaturized components, the demand for EUV lithography systems, which can support these miniaturization requirements, will increase. This will, in turn, drive the market in the future.
This report provides an accurate prediction of the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the lithography systems market size and actionable market insights on post COVID-19 impact on each segment.
