Top Growth Drivers in the Wafer Processing Equipment Industry: What's Accelerating the Market?
The growth of the wafer processing equipment market is anticipated to be propelled by an intensifying demand for consumer electronic devices. Enhanced consumer expectations are being driven by a rising requirement for electronic products, which necessitate superior features in new electronic gadgets. Wafers, vital for the manufacturing of integrated circuits, are employed in a host of consumer electronics and identity solutions, such as identification tags, smart cards, among others, in combination with RFIDs. Customers demonstrate an escalating demand for ultra-smooth surfaces and thinner wafers for seamless integration in electronic devices. As per a press release by Apple Inc., a US-based consumer electronics firm, in October 2022, the company posted a record revenue of $90.1 billion in September 2022 quarter, marking an 8% annual increase, and the earnings per diluted share rose by 4% year-over-year to $1.29. Apple's yearly revenue also spiked by 8% year over year to $394.3 billion. Furthermore, the surging usage and consumption of consumer electronic devices are predicted to enhance the demand for semiconductors, likely driving the income for the wafer processing equipment market in the projected timeframe.

What Trends Will Shape the Wafer Processing Equipment Market Through 2029 and Beyond?
The escalating need for more compact wafers that can enhance the performance of devices is a significant trend in the wafer processing equipment market. Semiconductor materials, including wafers, are reduced to a final thickness of dozens of μm. Commonly, semiconductor wafers such as those used in memory, CIS, and power applications, are refined down to 100 μm-200 μm. The demand for greater memory capacity in single packages, better data transfer speeds, and miniscule power consumption, primarily driven by mobile applications, necessitates a further reduction in thickness, particularly for memory devices. Standard memory devices like 2D NAND/DRAM utilize silicon wafers that are more than 200 μm thick. By 2025, it's anticipated that the thickness of 3D stacked DRAM will continue to shrink from 50 μm - 30 μm through the use of silicon substrates. Presently, BSI CIS wafers, with a thickness of less than 10 μm, are the slimmest wafers in use across all applications. As such, the implementation of ultra-smooth and thinner wafers into devices has been progressively gaining traction in recent years.
