Semiconductor Equipment Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and post-COVID-19 era. The growing investments in fabrication facilities is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry 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 semiconductor equipment industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Semiconductor Equipment Market Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the market is the growing investments in fabrication facilities. Memory manufacturers such as Samsung Electronics, Western Digital, Micron Technology, Toshiba, SK Hynix, and Intel are investing in new fabrication facilities to increase their production capacity for staying competitive in the market. The rising demand for semiconductor chips has created an opportunity to expand the product portfolio for supply chain members, such as chip makers, equipment manufacturers, and material suppliers. This is driving investments in fabrication facilities. The growing investments by manufacturers in production facilities will increase the production of semiconductor chips. This is expected to positively drive the demand for semiconductor equipment, as OEMs are increasingly focusing on releasing semiconductor chips for consumer electronics products.
Key Semiconductor Equipment Market Trend
The increase in the number of chip fabrication (fabs) worldwide is a market trend that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years. The increase in the sales of consumer electronic devices, such as smartphones, hybrid PCs, wearables, and video game consoles, is supporting the growth of the semiconductor market. The semiconductor industry is focusing on the expansion of fabs by increasing its capital spending. A large part of the investment will be used for the manufacture of memory and logic devices, depending on the demand pattern. The increase in the number of fabs will have a high impact on the market, including wafer-level manufacturing equipment, die-level packaging, assembly manufacturing equipment, and test equipment markets. With top firms shifting their focus toward developing the latest technologies, there has been an increased need for new fabs to meet these advances.
Key Semiconductor Equipment Market Challenge
The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry will be a major challenge for the market during the forecast period. The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry affects the operating costs of vendors due to severe downturns. Risks such as low demand, overcapacity, and price wars outline the dynamics of the market in the cyclical period. The capital expenditure undertaken by semiconductor equipment providers increases the operational expenditure. This compels semiconductor device manufacturers to reduce production, thereby impacting the demand for semiconductor equipment. This period also resulted in reduced purchases, delays in delivery, or canceled orders. Thus, reduced sales, delays in revenue recognition, and excess inventory hamper the market during this period. Besides, the price wars because of poor demand affect the gross margins of vendors.
