Failure Analysis Global Market Report 2024

The failure analysis market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.44 billion in 2023 to $4.86 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing complexity of products, stringent regulatory requirements, growing awareness of quality control, and rising demand for reliability engineering.

The failure analysis market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.96 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors, including the expansion of emerging industries, the globalization of supply chains, and the increasing demand for predictive maintenance. Significant trends expected during this period encompass medical device failure analysis, industry-specific solutions, collaboration, and knowledge sharing, as well as failure analysis in additive manufacturing.

The rise in automation adoption is expected to drive the expansion of the failure analysis market in the future. Automation, utilizing technology and machinery to execute tasks with minimal human intervention, optimizes processes, diminishes manual labor, and reduces human error, thereby enhancing efficiency and productivity across various sectors. Failure analysis plays a critical role in pinpointing the root causes of system failures, malfunctions, or breakdowns in automated processes. For instance, in May 2022, Rockwell Automation, Inc., a US-based industrial automation company, reported a significant 50% year-over-year growth in the adoption of smart factory technologies based on a survey of 321 manufacturers. Furthermore, 74% of these manufacturers are currently utilizing or planning to incorporate technologies into their manufacturing operations, with 83% intending to upgrade their modernization processes to smart factories. Hence, the increasing adoption of automation is propelling the growth of the failure analysis market.

Key players in the failure analysis market are integrating AI and ML technologies into analysis processes and solutions, such as AI-powered test failure analysis, to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and speed in identifying and diagnosing failures. AI-powered test failure analysis employs artificial intelligence to identify and classify errors in test case failures, analyzing test logs to provide a comprehensive overview of underlying failure causes, facilitating swift issue identification and resolution for developers. For example, in January 2023, LambdaTest, a US-based provider of an AI-powered unified enterprise test execution cloud platform, introduced an AI-powered test failure analysis feature within its smart test orchestration platform, HyperExecute. This innovative feature enables digital businesses to streamline troubleshooting and remediation processes for test case failures, saving time and boosting developer feedback velocity. It simplifies test execution, categorizes errors, and offers structured approaches to efficiently address test failures. HyperExecute incorporates intelligent functionalities such as auto-grouping, auto-retry, and fail-fast mechanisms to enhance testing productivity and accelerate time-to-market for digital businesses.

In July 2023, Spirit Electronics, a US-based electronics company, acquired Insight Analytical Labs, a US-based provider of electronics analysis and failure analysis services catering to the integrated circuit and semiconductor industry, for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition enables Spirit Electronics to expand its service portfolio with digital process automation (DPA) capabilities crucial for detecting production defects in high-reliability electronic components and bolstering aerospace and defense programs.

Failure analysis involves a systematic examination and investigation of components or processes aimed at identifying the root causes of failures or malfunctions. Its primary objective is to comprehend the reasons behind failures and to enact corrective measures to prevent similar occurrences in the future, thereby enhancing reliability, performance, and safety.

The primary tools utilized in failure analysis include the scanning electron microscope (SEM), focused ion beam (FIB) system, transmission electron microscope (TEM), and dual beam system. Among these, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) stands out as a potent instrument employed in scientific research and industrial settings for imaging and scrutinizing material surfaces at remarkably high resolutions. Various technologies integrated into these analyses include secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), chemical mechanical planarization (CMP), and others. End-users of these analyses span industries such as automotive, oil and gas, defense, construction, manufacturing, and others.
