Companies in almost every industry rely on Research and Development (R&D) to plan, design, and deliver innovative products and are focusing on advancement and research trends in the market.
Market Dynamics
Market Driver- Rising automation in the semiconductor industry
The semiconductor industry has transformed over the period of a time from a specialized niche market to a major driver of the global economy. Rapid technological advancements in fabrication processes and decreasing manufacturing costs are creating business prospects for manufacturers. Significant changes in consumption of technology create difficulties that demand for aggressive, economical solutions. Today's semiconductor fabs or wafer fabrication facilities, need highly automated and hands-off manufacturing abilities from their equipment suppliers.
Market Driver- Growing demand for load port module for manufacturing semiconductor equipment
Load port module is majorly used in the production of semiconductor devices including ICs, sensors, and other small equipment, as these devices require clear and secured environmental conditions. Manufacturers of semiconductor devices currently have a highly flexible, automated wafer-handling system that connects with any tool due to the load port modules. Through precise servo-controlled motion, a unique latchkey design, and improved carrier detection, the load port offers high quality interoperability performance.
Many manufacturers are engaged in the advancement of technologies and have created load ports that require less maintenance, thus preventing production lines from being affected. Rising adoption of load port module in the semiconductor industry for applications in consumer electronics is projected to fuel the market in the coming years.
Market Driver- Development of low-cost electronic products
Demand for low-cost electronic devices by consumers is keeping the manufacturers under constant pressure to increase the productivity. Many of the devices in the market today have become commodities, along with the electronic and semiconductor parts which goes into creating such electronics devices. The ambition of manufacturers of electrical and semiconductor devices is to improve efficiency at all levels, particularly in the design, construction, and use of fabrication facilities, or fabs, and the equipment used within the fabs for processing substrates.
Market Restraint- High cost
High cost of investment needed for the production of load port modules is expected to hamper the market growth in the coming years. Majority of market players are focusing on the development of products for reducing the cost associated with the load port module. The exchange rate of raw material influences the production cost of the product, which in turn, affects the installation and manufacturing cost. High installation cost and rising prices of raw materials are projected to restrain the growth of the market.
Market Restraint- Functional defects and complexity in patterns
In order to manufacture semiconductors, a clean space and clean tools are necessary. Small dust particles significantly affect the company's financial loss by interfering with the manufacturing system as a whole. As more patterns are present on a chip at a very small scale, the complexity of the patterns grows. This is because accurate data transfer to the semiconductor requires great accuracy. The ongoing efforts to make semiconductor chips smaller and denser, wafers have become more complicated, which reduces the lithography wavelength. The demand for new semiconductor production machinery results into increase in complexity of photomasks and wafers which is brought on by the reduction in node size. All of these factors are limiting the expansion of market for equipment used in semiconductor fabrication.
Market Opportunity- Increasing investment in R&D
Corporations and public sector companies are increasing their investment in the research and development of semiconductors for boosting the domestic production of semiconductors, batteries, and electronics, which is projected to fuel the market. Several market players are increasing their expenditure on R&D for the development of low-cost products, which is expected to propel the market over the forecast period. Increasing investments in R&D of load port module is projected to drive the market.
According to the US Department of Commerce, the manufacturing capacity of semiconductor has decreased by around 37% in the last 20 years. Presently, the production of semiconductors in the US comprises around 12% of the total global production. The Senate passed the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors for America (CHIPS) Act in June 2021. Based on this legislation, around $52 billion was invested in semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the US for the domestic production and R&D of semiconductors.
