LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global semiconductor production equipment market report. This research report also lists 13 other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
The global semiconductor production equipment market was valued at USD 37.12 billion in 2016 and is expected to reach USD 52.2 billion by 2021, growing at a CAGR of 7.06% during the forecast period.
The global semiconductor production equipment market is expected to witness a substantial growth due to the increase in the number of applications of semiconductor chips. Semiconductors will transform the process of generation, distribution, and consumption of energy. These chips also enable plug-in electric vehicles, solar panels, wind turbines, smart meters, and sensors used for monitoring power lines. The semiconductor content is increasing in vehicles as an attempt to make them smarter.
Competitive vendor landscape
The last couple of years has seen leading equipment manufacturers showing a tendency to carry out M&As with the financially weak but technologically possessed equipment manufacturers. The small- and medium-sized manufacturers who cannot compete with the larger equipment manufacturing companies, tried targeting and penetrating niche market that is ignored by major manufacturers.
“The semiconductor equipment industry is dependent on the investment plans of the semiconductor manufacturing companies. These plans are in order of the up and down cycles of the semiconductor market, thereby affecting equipment manufacturers. Due to the adoption of a wafer fab in the production process, the market has been growing as there are substantial investments in wafer production line,” says Navin Rajendra, an industry expert in semiconductor equipment from Technavio.
The government and the local semiconductor industry associations have established a national semiconductor equipment development program. The aim of the program is to develop and localize the semiconductor process equipment.
