Segment Analysis

The global Etch Equipment market has been segmented based on Type, Process, and End Users

Based on Type, the global Etch Equipment market has been segmented into Wet etch equipment and Dry etch equipment. The Dry Etch Equipment segment was expected to hold the largest market share in 2022. This is attributed to numerous advantages inherent in dry etching processes. Processes such as plasma etching within dry etching provide superior precision, enhanced selectivity, and the capability to achieve finer feature sizes in contrast to wet etching techniques.

Based on Process, the global Etch Equipment market has been segmented into Conductor Etch and Dielectric Etch. The Conductor Etch segment was anticipated to hold the major market share in 2022. The surge in applications such as 5G, AI, and IoT heightens the need for high-performance semiconductor devices. In this context, conductor etch processes assume a crucial role in determining the conductivity and overall performance of circuits.

Based on End Users, the global Etch Equipment market has been segmented into Integrated device manufacturers, Foundry, and Memory manufacturers. The foundry segment was anticipated to hold the major market share in 2022. Foundries excel in the production of semiconductor devices for diverse fabless semiconductor companies, which focus on designing integrated circuits but lack in-house manufacturing capabilities. The growing inclination towards outsourcing semiconductor manufacturing to foundries is a significant factor contributing to the prominence of this segment.
