Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment Market to be Worth USD 196.7 Billion by 2029; Hitachi High Tech Corporation Rolled Out GS1000 System to Strengthen Industry Position

The global semiconductor manufacturing equipment market size stood at USD 88.2 billion in 2021. The market value is slated to rise from USD 101.6 billion in 2022 to USD 196.7 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 9.9% during 2022-2029. Fortune Business Insights™ presents this information in its report titled “Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Equipment Type (Front-end Equipment, Back-end Equipment), By Dimension (2D, 2.5D, 3D), By Application (Semiconductor Fabrication Plant/Foundry, Semiconductor Electronics Manufacturing, Test Home), and Regional Forecast, 2022-2029”.

Industry Expansion Affected Owing to Halt on Manufacturing Activities Due to COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 health crisis put a halt on manufacturing activity across various sectors. The pandemic also led to disruptions in supply chain, negatively affecting industry expansion. However, the semiconductor manufacturing equipment industry growth was revived on account of an increase in research and development activities and the adoption of innovative technologies. This can be attributed to the soaring demand for semiconductor components and chips from the third quarter of 2020.

United Microelectronics Corporations Shared Plans to Develop an Advanced Facility in Singapore

In February 2022, United Microelectronics Corporation, a Taiwanese semiconductor foundry, announced plans for the development of a new facility in Singapore. With an investment of USD 5 billion, the new unit would be constructed next to its existing facility. The unit would have a 30,000 wafer monthly capacity, with production anticipated to commence in late 2024.

UMC has been functional as a supplier of pure-play foundry in Singapore for over 20 years. The location is the organization’s designated research & development center for advanced specialty technologies.
