The global wafer mounting machine market size was USD 123.4 million in 2022 and market is projected to touch USD 230.74 million by 2031, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2% during the forecast period.

The equipment used for processing wafers can be separated into manual, automatic, and semi-automatic as per their type. It is a part of the process of wafer fabrication. The wafer is mounted on a metal frame for tape or film application after carrying out the grinding. It is also known as a wafer mounter. This process is called wafer mounting and is an essential step in the fabrication process. Wafer Mounters are tools that make it possible to move and store semiconductor wafers. Applied Materials, Novellus Systems, Tokyo Electron (TEL), Canon Inc., Kulicke & Soffa Industries Incorporated(K&S), and Lam Research Corporation are a few of the companies that make wafer mounters. 

Wafer mounter stores many wafers on an independent system and is attached to a robotic arm, enabling precise, rapid movement between locations.  There are generally three types of wafer mounting machine, automatic, semi-automatic, and manual. The automatic machine is one of the most common and widely used machines. The semi-automatic machines are automated and can precisely position a semiconductor device on substrates. The manual machines are mounted on a carrier manually. 

COVID-19 Impact: Disruption of Manufacturing Industries Retarded Growth

The pandemic's onset had a significant impact on manufacturing industries, which had to shut down manufacturing industries and companies that supplied products. Supply chains and production processes were disrupted in the global market. The rate at which machinery and equipment were produced was impacted by severe lockout regulations. Retail stores were closed, which retarded the demand for packaging materials. Additionally, people refrained from purchasing any goods or equipment to reduce their risk of contracting the virus. The pandemic epidemic increased people's anxieties about their health, which led them to self-isolation. These factors affected the growth of the wafer mounting machine market.

LATEST TRENDS

"Growing Demand for Semiconductors to Boost Market Growth"

The global wafer mounters market is anticipated to expand, primarily due to factors including rising semiconductor demand and expanding consumer electronics use across a variety of end-use industries internationally. Other significant growth factors, such as continuing mobile device replacement patterns, a rise in PCB connections across the automotive industry, and a surge in data traffic from IoT applications, are anticipated to drive market expansion over the anticipated years. Additionally, over the next ten years, the global market revenue share for wafer mounters is projected to be supported by the increase in demand for high-performance computing chipsets.
