A mass flow controller is a device designed to regulate the flow rate by measuring the mass flow of fluids and gases. It achieves this by automatically adjusting the gas flow rate based on a preset value provided as an electronic signal, irrespective of changes in the user's environment or fluctuations in gas pressure.
The materials utilized in mass flow controllers include stainless steel, exotic alloys, and other relevant materials. Stainless steel is a type of steel characterized by containing less than 1.2% carbon, 10.5% chromium, and possessing properties such as corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The media involved in these controllers include gases, liquids, and other substances flowing at low, medium, and high rates. Mass flow controllers find applications in catalyst research, gas chromatography, spray and coating processes, fluid and gas processing and control, fuel cells, solar cells, heat treating, and are employed by industries such as chemicals, metals, mining, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and various other end-users.

The mass flow controller market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.46 billion in 2023 to $1.54 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to the growth of the semiconductor industry, applications in medical and pharmaceutical fields, environmental monitoring, dynamics in the energy sector, the chemical processing industry, and manufacturing in the electronics sector.
The mass flow controller market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.92 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to initiatives promoting clean energy, an increased focus on environmental sustainability, growth in pharmaceutical research and production, the adoption of precision agriculture, meeting the needs of the automotive industry, and the development of smart cities and infrastructure. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the integration of digitalization and Industry 4.0 practices, advancements in micro and miniaturized mass flow controllers (MFCs), the incorporation of advanced sensor technologies, a shift towards customization and modular designs, and increased integration with PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems.
The anticipated surge in demand within the semiconductor industry is poised to drive the growth of the mass flow controller market. Semiconductors, exhibiting conductivity properties between non-conductors and conductors, are integral in various electronic applications. The mass flow controller, a device that regulates flow rates by measuring the mass flow rate of fluids and gases, plays a crucial role in controlling and measuring gases used in semiconductor chip manufacturing. Notably, The Semiconductor Industry Association reported a global semiconductor industry sale of $49.0 billion in July 2022, marking a 7.3% increase over the previous year. The record sale of 1.15 trillion semiconductor chips in 2021 underscores the escalating demand in the semiconductor industry, thereby propelling the growth of the mass flow controller market.
The escalating demand for oil is expected to be a significant driver for the mass flow controller market. With oil being a vital resource derived from various hydrocarbon substances, precise control of the flow rate becomes imperative for efficient industrial processes. Mass flow controllers are instrumental in achieving accurate measurements and ensuring optimal flow rates in various industrial applications related to oil. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global oil demand has seen an increase, reaching 2.3 mb/d for 2022, with further growth anticipated in the following year. The demand for mass flow controllers is consequently on the rise, driven by the increasing need for precise oil flow rate control in diverse industrial applications.
Technological advancements stand out as a prominent trend in the mass flow controller market, with major companies focusing on innovation to solidify their market position. A noteworthy example is Bronkhorst, a Netherlands-based developer and manufacturer of low-flow mass flow meters or controllers, which introduced the FLEXI-FLOW Compact in April 2022. This innovative mass flow controller not only measures and controls gas flow and temperature but also plays a role in regulating downstream and upstream pressures in the process. The flexibility offered by this instrument, combined with its space-saving design and weight reduction benefits, exemplifies the impact of technological advancements in the mass flow controller market.
Major companies operating in the mass flow controller market are also directing their efforts toward developing groundbreaking devices such as the pressure-insensitive pressure-based mass flow controller (P-MFC). Brooks Instrument, a US-based provider of precision fluid measurement and control technology, launched the GP200 Series in August 2021. This P-MFC, designed for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes in semiconductor manufacturing, operates effectively in high-vacuum and above atmospheric pressure conditions. The integrated features, including a differential pressure sensor, laminar flow element, and downstream valve architecture, enhance precision in gas delivery for semiconductor processes. This innovative approach addresses the limitations of conventional mass flow controllers and expands applications, contributing to the growth of the mass flow controller market.
In July 2022, Dover Corporation, a US-based industrial products manufacturer, acquired Malema Engineering Corporation. This acquisition positions Dover to expand its biopharma single-use manufacturing portfolio, strengthening its presence in critical flow measurement and control instruments for sectors such as biopharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and industrial applications. The acquisition of Malema Engineering Corporation is indicative of the industry's focus on growth and diversification.
