The global AFM for Semiconductor market size is predicted to grow from US$ 136 million in 2025 to US$ 212 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2025 to 2031.
The Semiconductor product development cycle is one of the most intricate and data driven of all industries. As technology nodes continue to shrink below 5nm, Semiconductor manufacturers require the highest resolution, highest throughput, easiest to use equipment to meet technology development and production milestones. One of the most versatile tools for such stringent development requirements is the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM).
With the rapid development of the global semiconductor industry, the demand for AFM equipment is also growing continuously. There is a high demand for AFM technology in the detection, defect analysis, and film thickness measurement of the semiconductor manufacturing process. The semiconductor industry continues to push the boundaries of miniaturization. AFM has nanometer-level resolution and is an indispensable tool for characterizing and detecting nanostructures, features, and defects of semiconductor wafers. As semiconductor devices become smaller and smaller, the role of AFM in evaluating their quality and size becomes increasingly important. The production of AFM for semiconductors is mainly concentrated in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States. The Chinese market is generally behind developed countries and regions in Europe and the United States, and lacks independent intellectual property rights in the field of high-end semiconductor AFM technology. International manufacturers led by Oxford Instruments and Hitachi High-Tech have monopolized China's mid-to-high-end market with their strong R&D capabilities. The top three international companies have a cumulative market share of more than 35%.
