The anticipated surge in demand within the semiconductor industry is poised to drive the growth of the mass flow controller market. Semiconductors, exhibiting conductivity properties between non-conductors and conductors, are integral in various electronic applications. The mass flow controller, a device that regulates flow rates by measuring the mass flow rate of fluids and gases, plays a crucial role in controlling and measuring gases used in semiconductor chip manufacturing. Notably, The Semiconductor Industry Association reported a global semiconductor industry sale of $49.0 billion in July 2022, marking a 7.3% increase over the previous year. The record sale of 1.15 trillion semiconductor chips in 2021 underscores the escalating demand in the semiconductor industry, thereby propelling the growth of the mass flow controller market.

The escalating demand for oil is expected to be a significant driver for the mass flow controller market. With oil being a vital resource derived from various hydrocarbon substances, precise control of the flow rate becomes imperative for efficient industrial processes. Mass flow controllers are instrumental in achieving accurate measurements and ensuring optimal flow rates in various industrial applications related to oil. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global oil demand has seen an increase, reaching 2.3 mb/d for 2022, with further growth anticipated in the following year. The demand for mass flow controllers is consequently on the rise, driven by the increasing need for precise oil flow rate control in diverse industrial applications.

Technological advancements stand out as a prominent trend in the mass flow controller market, with major companies focusing on innovation to solidify their market position. A noteworthy example is Bronkhorst, a Netherlands-based developer and manufacturer of low-flow mass flow meters or controllers, which introduced the FLEXI-FLOW Compact in April 2022. This innovative mass flow controller not only measures and controls gas flow and temperature but also plays a role in regulating downstream and upstream pressures in the process. The flexibility offered by this instrument, combined with its space-saving design and weight reduction benefits, exemplifies the impact of technological advancements in the mass flow controller market.

Major companies operating in the mass flow controller market are also directing their efforts toward developing groundbreaking devices such as the pressure-insensitive pressure-based mass flow controller (P-MFC). Brooks Instrument, a US-based provider of precision fluid measurement and control technology, launched the GP200 Series in August 2021. This P-MFC, designed for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes in semiconductor manufacturing, operates effectively in high-vacuum and above atmospheric pressure conditions. The integrated features, including a differential pressure sensor, laminar flow element, and downstream valve architecture, enhance precision in gas delivery for semiconductor processes. This innovative approach addresses the limitations of conventional mass flow controllers and expands applications, contributing to the growth of the mass flow controller market.

In July 2022, Dover Corporation, a US-based industrial products manufacturer, acquired Malema Engineering Corporation. This acquisition positions Dover to expand its biopharma single-use manufacturing portfolio, strengthening its presence in critical flow measurement and control instruments for sectors such as biopharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and industrial applications. The acquisition of Malema Engineering Corporation is indicative of the industry's focus on growth and diversification.
