Semiconductor Machinery Market Report 2026

The semiconductor machinery market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $179.49 billion in 2025 to $189.65 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of consumer electronics manufacturing, increasing semiconductor content in automobiles, advancements in chip miniaturization, expansion of global foundry capacity, rising demand for memory and logic devices.

The semiconductor machinery market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $243.39 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to surging demand for AI and high performance computing chips, expansion of electric vehicle production, government incentives for domestic semiconductor manufacturing, growth of IoT and connected devices, rising adoption of advanced node and packaging technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for advanced lithography and EUV equipment, increasing investment in semiconductor fabrication capacity, growing adoption of automation in wafer processing, higher focus on yield optimization and defect reduction, expansion of advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration.

The increasing demand for renewable electricity is also anticipated to drive the growth of the semiconductor machinery market. Renewable electricity refers to power generated from naturally replenishing and environmentally sustainable sources. Semiconductor manufacturing is highly energy-intensive, and adopting renewable electricity sources can greatly reduce the carbon footprint of semiconductor fabrication facilities. These sources offer clean, sustainable energy that helps semiconductor companies achieve environmental goals while also lowering energy costs. For instance, in September 2024, the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency, an Ireland-based government organization, reported that between July 2023 and June 2024, 45.8% of total metered electricity consumption in Northern Ireland came from local renewable energy, a 0.3 percentage point increase compared to the previous year. Therefore, the rising demand for renewable electricity is supporting the expansion of the semiconductor machinery market.

Major companies in the semiconductor machinery market are developing advanced technological solutions such as semiconductor wafer transfer robots to enhance market competitiveness and profitability. These robots are specifically designed for automating the movement of wafers between cassettes, boats, and processing equipment. For example, in August 2023, Nidec Sankyo Corporation, a Japan-based electrical component manufacturer, introduced a new semiconductor wafer transfer robot capable of switching between four cassettes positioned at the front and back. This innovation is intended to improve the efficiency of semiconductor production processes.
