Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography Market Report 2025

The extreme ultraviolet lithography market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $4.96 billion in 2024 to $6.1 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased semiconductor device complexity and miniaturization, demand for higher resolution and reduced line widths in semiconductor manufacturing, r&d investments in semiconductor fabrication technologies, transition to advanced nodes in semiconductor manufacturing (eg, 7nm, 5nm, 3nm), need for enhanced productivity and yield in semiconductor fabs).

The extreme ultraviolet lithography market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.53 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to adoption of euv lithography in memory and logic device production, market growth in emerging economies and developing semiconductor markets, focus on high-volume manufacturing with euv technology, integration of ai and machine learning in semiconductor manufacturing. Major trends in the forecast period include multi-patterning techniques with euv, high numerical aperture (na) euv systems, advanced euv mask technologies, euv pellicles for mask protection, metrology and inspection solutions for euv, high-throughput euv systems for production.

The rising demand for smartphones is poised to drive growth in the extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) market. EUV lithography is an advanced technology crucial for manufacturing powerful microprocessors in smartphones and personal computers. It enables the creation of compact electronic chips with reduced complexity, lower costs, and decreased power requirements. As of March 2022, a Cybercrew article reported that approximately 87% of adults owned smartphones, with a global smartphone penetration rate of 78.9%. This increased demand for more sophisticated smartphones is expected to elevate the need for EUV lithography. The technology facilitates chipmakers in producing faster, smaller, and more powerful chips, aligning with the evolving requirements of the smartphone market.

The continuous growth in the semiconductor industry is anticipated to further fuel the expansion of the extreme ultraviolet lithography market. The semiconductor industry, responsible for the design, development, manufacturing, and distribution of integrated circuits or microchips, relies on EUV lithography to produce smaller, more powerful, and energy-efficient chips. In February 2023, the Semiconductor Industry Association reported that global semiconductor sales reached $574.1 billion in 2022, marking the highest annual total ever and a 3.3% increase compared to the previous year. The growing demand in the semiconductor sector reflects the need for advanced technologies like extreme ultraviolet lithography, driving market growth.

The high cost of extreme ultraviolet lithography systems could pose a potential constraint on market growth. Lithography machines, crucial tools in chip manufacturing, are primarily produced by ASML, and their high-end models for cutting sophisticated chips come with a significant price tag. An extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, comprising over 100,000 parts, is priced at approximately $120 million. The substantial cost of these systems may present a challenge in wider adoption, potentially limiting the growth of the extreme ultraviolet lithography market.

Companies in the extreme ultraviolet lithography market are consistently innovating to attract a broader consumer base. A notable example is the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC), which introduced the industry's first commercially available extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology, the seven-nanometre plus (N7+). This technology, built on TSMC's successful 7nm node, employs EUV technology and has paved the way for advancements in 6nm and higher-level technologies. The N7+ method with EUV technology offers 15% to 20% more density and increased power efficiency compared to the N7 process, making it a popular choice for the industry's next-wave outcomes.

Major players like Intel Corporation are focusing on expanding technology production to meet the escalating demand for smaller and more powerful chips. Intel's milestone achievement is highlighted by its high-volume manufacturing using Intel 4 technology in Leixlip, Ireland. The Intel 4 process, operating on a 7nm scale and utilizing extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, represents a significant advancement. In September 2023, Intel announced the commencement of high-volume manufacturing using Intel 4 technology in Leixlip, Ireland. This technology will support the production of various future products, including the upcoming Intel Core Ultra processors (code-named Meteor Lake) and next-generation Intel Xeon processors. The hybrid architecture of Meteor Lake, combining high-performance and low-power cores, is anticipated to deliver enhanced performance and efficiency across a range of workloads.
