It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.

The semiconductor wafer inspection equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.07 billion in 2024 to $6.62 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising semiconductor production, enhanced data processing needs, expansion of semiconductor foundries, demand for energy-efficient devices, increase in wafer size.

The semiconductor wafer inspection equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.25 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for electronics, rise of IoT devices, automotive electronics growth, increasing focus on semiconductor quality, growing research and development in semiconductor manufacturing. Major trends in the forecast period include advancement in semiconductor technology, miniaturization of electronic devices, development of 5G technology, technological advancements in inspection techniques, high adoption of automation in manufacturing.

The increasing demand for electronic goods is projected to drive the growth of the semiconductor wafer inspection equipment market. Electronic goods, which include devices such as computers, smartphones, and appliances, rely on electrical energy to function. This rising demand is fueled by the growing reliance on technology for communication, entertainment, and daily activities, as well as advancements and innovations in the electronics sector. Semiconductor wafer inspection equipment is crucial for these electronic goods as it ensures the quality and reliability of semiconductor components by identifying and analyzing defects during the manufacturing process. For example, a February 2024 report by USwitch, a UK-based online comparison service, indicated that the UK had 71.8 million mobile connections at the start of 2022, surpassing the population by 4.2 million and reflecting a 3.8% increase from the previous year. By 2025, the UK population is expected to reach 68.3 million, with about 95% of people, or around 65 million, predicted to be smartphone users. Consequently, the growing demand for electronic goods is boosting the semiconductor wafer inspection equipment market.

Leading companies in the semiconductor wafer inspection equipment market are developing advanced products, such as non-patterned wafer surface inspection systems, to detect and analyze surface defects early in the manufacturing process. A non-patterned wafer surface inspection system is used to find and analyze defects on semiconductor wafers that lack pre-existing patterns or circuitry. For instance, in March 2024, Hitachi High-Tech Corporation, a Japan-based company specializing in semiconductor wafer inspection equipment, introduced the LS9300AD. This advanced system inspects both the front and backside of non-patterned wafer surfaces for particles and defects. It integrates conventional dark-field laser scattering detection with a new Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) inspection function, enabling it to identify irregular and shallow microscopic defects. The LS9300AD uses a wafer edge grip method and a rotating stage to ensure thorough inspection of both sides of the wafer. This innovative system reduces inspection costs and improves yield for semiconductor wafer and device manufacturers by providing high-sensitivity and high-throughput detection of microscopic defects.

In July 2024, Merck, a US-based science and technology company, acquired Unity-SC for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Merck's portfolio in the semiconductor industry and positions the company to leverage growth opportunities in artificial intelligence, allowing it to offer integrated solutions for developing next-generation chips.
