The global CMP pad conditioners market size was USD 236.7 million in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 284.2 million by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 2.5% during the forecast period. The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the CMP pad conditioners market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.
CMP pads are devices used in the CMP process, i.e. chemical mechanical polishing or smoothing. This equipment is used in the semiconductor industry for polishing or finishing silicon wafers. It is a polyurethane foam disc-shaped cushion that is porous and hard. The patterns that survive the manufacture of this device have narrow slits with a high aspect ratio. A rotating wafer holder clamps the silicon wafer to press it against a CMP pad attached to the rotating disk. A little chemical polishing compound is applied to the surface of the pad. Additives in the CMP pad wear down the surface of the wafer to achieve the desired smoothness and polish.
Advances in processing technology such as chemical mechanical engineering have facilitated better performance of semiconductors at relatively lower unit costs, stimulating the growth of the global chemical mechanical engineering.
COVID-19 Impact: COVID-19 Disrupted The Production And Supply Chain Hampered Market Growth
COVID 19 has disrupted the market in some major ways. This affected production, causing disruptions in the supply chain and financial impact on businesses. The global CMP market size suffered greatly due to the crisis. With the global economy slowing down, especially in countries like India and China, sales have fallen completely. However, with the relaxation of blocking restrictions, manufacturers have decided to bring technological innovations to the market. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for the industry as it is the main downstream end of CMP pad conditioners. Declining production in major countries such as Germany, the US and China has reduced the demand for CMP pad internationally. Declining consumer visits to stores, labor shortages and the availability of raw components such as silicon chips have severely hampered the industry, which in turn has weakened the need for CMP pad. The slowdown in construction activity and limited work due to restrictions caused by COVID-19 has weakened the stoma of CMP pad. Even after the resumption of various construction activities, the use of PU pads in construction was minimal because activities like floor polishing, metal fabrication were sidelined because the main focus was on the main building.
