Metrology and inspection are crucial for managing the semiconductor manufacturing process. These processes are implemented at key stages to ensure and maintain a certain yield. Metrology involves measuring numbers and volumes, primarily using metrology equipment, while inspection focuses on detecting particles or defects in wafers.

The growth of R&D facilities and foundries continues to drive the semiconductor metrology and inspection market. The increasing demand for consumer electronics, coupled with the rise in servers and data centers, supplements the industry. Advancements in electronic products have spurred the demand for high-performance, high-functionality, compact, and cost-effective devices, further boosting the market and increasing the demand for the 3D sector.

Key players are adopting strategies such as mergers, acquisitions, agreements, collaborations, and product launches to strengthen their market positions. For example, in November 2021, Hitachi High-Tech developed the electron beam area inspection system GS1000, offering precise and fast e-beam inspection SEMs. These strategic moves are expected to positively impact market growth during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific held the highest share of the global semiconductor metrology and inspection market in 2021. The region's high concentration of integrated circuit (IC) manufacturers drives demand for semiconductor metrology and inspection. ICs are extensively used in various industries, including consumer electronics, industrial, telecommunications, data centers, and automotive. Additionally, China has become a major exporter of semiconductor metrology and inspection, capturing 45% of global production due to its higher production capacity. According to the Financial Times, China currently holds 15% of global semiconductor production capacity, projected to rise to 24% within the next decade.

However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many manufacturers in the semiconductor metrology and inspection market had to halt their operations in countries like China, the U.S., and India. This disruption directly impacted sales. Additionally, a lack of manpower and raw materials constrained supply chains, negatively influencing market growth. The reopening of production facilities and the introduction of COVID-19 vaccines are expected to lead to a recovery in the semiconductor metrology and inspection market.
