The top three revenue contributing equipment segments are discussed below

Wafer processing equipment: The wafer processing equipment segment in the global semiconductor production equipment market is anticipated to experience substantial growth in terms of revenue during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to the increased demand for advanced semiconductor chips.

“The equipment used to manufacture semiconductor chips is highly customized, and the cost of this manufacturing equipment is high. Such hefty expenditure is compelling the semiconductor chip manufacturers to invest heavily in wafer processing equipment,” says Chetan Mohan, a senior analyst at Technavio for research on semiconductor equipment.

Wafer processing involves many successive steps to attain the complex layers of conductor, semiconductor, and insulating material required to produce the desired electrical system. Wafer processing is divided into various separate processes, each of which requires its equipment.

Test equipment: The semiconductor testing industry consists of companies engaged in the production of semiconductor testing equipment and semiconductor testing services. There has been a rise in testing activities by semiconductor chip manufacturers owing to the augmented demand for accurate and error-free chips by the end-users.

Assembly and packaging equipment: Semiconductor assembly and packaging equipment require to be of high accuracy and stability. These encoder products should meet the diverse and demanding requirements of industrial automation.
