Semiconductor machinery encompasses equipment that plays a crucial role in the actual production of semiconductors. These machines utilize processes such as etching, deposition, and lithography to manipulate atoms, leading to the creation of highly integrated chips on a wafer.
The primary types of semiconductor machinery include front-end equipment, back-end equipment, and fab facility equipment. Front-end equipment in semiconductor machinery is employed for the packaging, testing, and assembly of integrated circuits. Various product categories within this domain include memory, foundry, logic, MPU (Microprocessing Unit), discrete, analog, MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems), and other related products. The semiconductor supply chain involves OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) companies, IDM (Integrated Device Manufacturer) firms, and foundries. These machines are used in the production of integrated circuits, discrete devices, optoelectronic devices, and sensors.

The semiconductor machinery market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $169.66 billion in 2024 to $182.01 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing demand for electronic devices, growing automotive electronics, demand for energy efficiency, expansion of data centers, government initiatives.
The semiconductor machinery market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $234.96 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to iot and connectivity, 5g and connectivity expansion, miniaturization of semiconductor chips, increasing adoption of sustainable manufacturing practices, growing demand for high-purity and high-performance materials. Major trends in the forecast period include advanced packaging technologies, extreme ultraviolet (euv) lithography, smart manufacturing and industry 4.0, sustainability and green manufacturing, collaborative robotics.
The increasing demand for electric vehicles is a major driver of growth in the semiconductor machinery market. This demand is fueled by the rise in the number of charging stations worldwide, as well as advancements in the semiconductor industry that enable longer battery life for electric vehicles. These innovations not only enhance the operational appeal of electric vehicles but also present significant business opportunities for semiconductor manufacturers. For example, in July 2023, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, reported that electric vehicle sales reached 10 million in 2022, with sales expected to rise to 14 million in 2023. As a result, the growing demand for electric vehicles is anticipated to propel the growth of the semiconductor machinery market.
The growing demand for renewable electricity is expected to drive the growth of the semiconductor machinery market. Renewable electricity is generated from sources that are naturally replenished and environmentally sustainable. Semiconductor manufacturing is energy-intensive, and utilizing renewable energy can significantly lower the carbon footprint of semiconductor fabs. These energy sources offer clean and sustainable power, helping semiconductor companies meet their environmental goals while also reducing energy costs. For example, in September 2024, the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency, a government organization based in Ireland, reported that between July 2023 and June 2024, 45.8% of total metered electricity consumption in Northern Ireland came from local renewable energy sources, representing a 0.3 percentage point increase compared to the same period in 2022-2023. As a result, the increasing demand for renewable electricity is driving the growth of the semiconductor machinery market.
Major companies operating in the semiconductor machinery market are focusing on innovation, introducing new technological products such as semiconductor wafer transfer robots to enhance profitability. These robots are designed to automate the movement of wafers between cassettes, boats, and process equipment, specifically for the semiconductor industry. For example, Nidec Sankyo Corporation launched a new semiconductor wafer transfer robot with the capability to switch between four cassettes, potentially improving semiconductor production efficiency.
Major companies are introducing innovative products such as Coronus DX to drive profitability in the semiconductor machinery market. Coronus DX is a bevel deposition solution developed by Lam Research Corporation to address production challenges in applications involving 3D NAND, next-generation logic, and advanced packaging. This solution creates a protective layer of specialized film on both sides of the wafer edge, reducing the risk of damage and defects during advanced semiconductor fabrication.
