Overview of the global semiconductor etch equipment market

Our market research analysts have identified the increased capital spending as one of the primary factors that will trigger the growth the semiconductor etch market in the coming years. In the recent years, the global semiconductor industry witnessed considerable growth in capital spending. Foundries and memory manufacturers are focusing on investing in new equipment designed with modern technology. Owing to factors such as the decreasing linewidths on a chip, the use of new materials, the increasing chip design cost, and the need for integrated manufacturing processes, there is a considerable increase in CAPEX. With foundries investing billions in several projects, the demand for semiconductor equipment will increase in the coming years, fueling the growth of the semiconductor etch equipment market. According to our market research analysts, this market will register a revenue of almost USD 8 billion by 2022.

The increase in wafer size is one of the key trends that will gain traction in the semiconductor etch equipment market in the coming years. With the emergence of modern technologies and transitions, the semiconductor industry is continuously evolving, which is resulting in the miniaturization of nodes and an increase in wafer size. The semiconductor industry extensively uses 300 mm wafers for IC production and in the recent years, manufacturers have started focusing on developing 450 mm wafer technology since wafers with a large diameter result in a significant reduction in manufacturing costs.
