Global Wafer Cleaning Equipment Market - By Operating Mode Type, Equipment Type, End Users and Region - Growth, Trends and Forecast (2022 - 2030)

The Wafer Cleaning Equipment Market was valued at USD 3.64 billion and is expected to reach USD 5.19 billion by 2023, with a CAGR of 6.12% during the forecast period (2018 - 2023). The report profiles the automatic equipment, semi-automatic equipment, manual equipment providers of wafer cleaning equipment market for various end-user industries.

Components, such as PCBs, MEMS, ICs, memory devices, and semiconductor wafers are the basic building blocks of any electronic device. The performance of the electronic device primarily depends on the performance of these separate components. Moreover, as these components are relatively small, impurities affect their performance and reliability in a significant way. Microelectronic cleaning requires several technologies to remove and neutralize the effect of contamination and defects on various components. It includes cryogenic aerosol, dry, aqueous, supercritical fluid, and wet chemical cleaning. These techniques are used in different electronic equipment that process wafers in different groups called batch wafer and individual group called single wafer cleaning.

Increasing Demand for Tablets and Smartphones

Due to increase in the usage of smart devices, like smartphones and tablets have spark the growth of the wafer cleaning equipment market. Emerging new technologies and increased consumer demand for more advanced smartphones and tablets have boosted the growth pace of the industry to a great extent. Increased levels of adoption of portable devices have been instrumental in maximizing the growth potential of the market.

In 2016, the global smartphone sales reached more than 1.5 billion units. Demand for smartphones has increased, and the sales of PCs have declined. This shift has led to the creation of new dynamic and intricate electronics supply chains in Asia. In 2016, China exported USD 107 billion of smartphones to the rest of the world, which was equivalent to 5% of the nation’s total exports. In South Korea, the leading supplier of smartphone components, semiconductor exports were 17% of total exports. Similarly, at the peak of the cycle, components for smartphone production accounted for more than a third of total exports from Taiwan Province of China, 15% of exports from Singapore and South Korea, and 11% from Malaysia.

The tremendous growth in the tablets and smartphones market has boosted the demand for the semiconductor wafers, thus boosting the wafer cleaning equipment growth.


Asia-Pacific to be the Fastest Growing Region

APAC is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period (2018-2023) however, economically developing countries in the APAC region, such as Australia, India, China, and Japan are adopting new technologies- (Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality) enabled smartphones and tablets, which is anticipated to raise the global market demand for Wafer Cleaning Equipment. Additionally, due to increasing population, rising smart mobile users, mounting popularity of BYOD technology, and prosperous IT and telecommunication are the key causes powering the market expansion. As the demand for the Wafer Cleaning Equipment Market is directly related to the sales of smartphones, the more sales of smartphones in the market, higher is the demand for Wafer Cleaning Equipment Market.
