This report segments the global e-beam wafer inspection system market by geography, including the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. The top manufacturing companies in this market are Applied Materials, ASML, Hermes Microvision, Hitachi High-Technologies, KLA-Tencor, and Lam Research. The report further discusses the key drivers influencing the growth of the market and the challenges faced by the vendors and the market as a whole.
Technavio has released its new market research report, global e-beam wafer inspection system market to grow at a CAGR of 20% between 2015 and 2019. As the use of semiconductor wafer is predominant over a wide range of industries like consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial segment, the e-beam wafer inspection system is certain to grow. The APAC region is the largest contributor to the market, accounting for over 72% as of 2014 and will continue to dominate this market during the forecast period. This is mainly because of the existence of prominent semiconductor foundries in this region, especially Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan.
“The rising adoption of certain communication devices and consumer electronic equipment such as smartphones, tablets, wearables, LCDs, LEDs, and SSDs has indirectly led to the high demand for superior quality semiconductor such as silicon based wafers, which play a key role in ICs. Consequently, as the demand for semiconductor wafers increases, the need for wafer inspection system also rises in order to keep a check on the process and quality of the wafers,” says Asif Ghani, Lead Analyst, Hardware & Semiconductor, Technavio Research.
Technavio’s market research analysts estimate upcoming trends such as the launch of multi-beam e-beam products, which will affect the market dynamics, as these products are targeted to overcome low throughput challenge of e-beam inspection system and will attract more customers.
The key vendors in the global e-beam wafer inspection system market include Applied Materials, ASML, Hermes Microvision, Hitachi High-Technologies, KLA-Tencor, and Lam Research. Since the semiconductor industry is growing and expanding its production capacity, the demand for wafer inspection system is anticipated to increase during the forecast period. This high demand for wafer inspection system will open up new opportunities in the market for manufactures, steering in new vendors, thus swelling the competition.
