The market value of semiconductor dry etching equipment is expected to reach USD 3.84 billion by 2026 and KRW 6.27 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.13% during the forecast period 2026-2033. This expansion highlights the essential role of dry etching systems in creating complex circuit patterns on semiconductor wafers with nanometer precision in a detailed and comprehensive report.
Using dry etching equipment, plasma-based processes selectively remove material layers, a fundamental aspect of semiconductor manufacturing. These systems are essential for creating high-screen-ratio, advanced memory and logic devices. Their precision and anisotropy are crucial for manufacturing everything from smartphones and computers to automotive electronics and AI.
The Expansion of the Semiconductor Industry: A Key Growth Engine
This report highlights the unprecedented growth of the global semiconductor industry, driving demand for etching equipment. With the semiconductor equipment market projected to exceed $120 billion annually, demand for precision etching solutions continues to intensify. The transition to advanced etching technologies below 7nm requires increasingly complex etching capabilities, particularly for 3D NAND flash memory and DRAM applications, where the etch step can account for up to 40% of the total production process.
“With a high concentration of semiconductor wafer fabs in the Asia Pacific region, accounting for approximately 75% of global dry etching equipment consumption, consumption will continue to drive market dynamics,” the report states. With global investment from semiconductor manufacturing sites expected to exceed $50 billion by 2030, demand for advanced etching solutions is accelerating, particularly for applications requiring atomic-level precision and high selectivity.
