Global Automatic Semiconductor Probe Station Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031
Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Automatic Semiconductor Probe Station market size was valued at US$ 1308 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 1934 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 5.7% during review period.
A probe station is a device used to detect the electrical characteristics of a wafer during semiconductor development and manufacturing. Electrical testing involves sending test signals from a tester or tester to each device on the wafer through a probe or probe card, and obtaining signal feedback from each device. Automatic Semiconductor Probe Station is a type of semiconductor testing equipment. Its main function is to achieve automatic alignment and contact between the probe and the test point on the wafer or chip to perform electrical characteristic measurement, functional testing or other related analysis.
At present, the explosive growth of global demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) has accelerated the development progress of cutting-edge technologies, the commercialization of products, market development, and the layout of the industrial chain, effectively driving the market demand for related computing power and storage chips. After two years of technological improvements and ecological construction, emerging consumer electronic products such as smart wearable devices and smart homes have given birth to hot products such as AppleVision, becoming an important driving force for the growth of the semiconductor market. Automotive electronics, lithium batteries, photovoltaics and other previous high-speed growth fields have entered a critical window period for technology route selection and technology pattern reconstruction. New formats and models such as industrial Internet, smart medical care, and smart cities are accelerating their transformation, empowering social development and bringing about an increase in overall semiconductor market demand. According to statistics from the World Integrated Circuit Association (WICA), the global semiconductor market size in 2024 was about US$620.2 billion, a year-on-year increase of 17%.
From the perspective of product structure, it is expected that the two main integrated circuit categories will drive market growth with double-digit growth, with logic chips expected to grow by 21% and memory expected to grow by 61.3%. Other categories such as discrete devices, optoelectronic devices, sensors and analog chips are expected to have a negative growth of 2%-10%. Thanks to the surge in demand for computing chips from AI big models such as ChatGPT, the market growth rate of logic chips such as GPU, FPGA, and ASIC in 2024 will be 4 percentage points higher than the industry average. The current market demand for Hopper remains strong, and AI manufacturers expect continued growth in Blackwell. With the repeated computing upgrades of AI big models, the market demand for high-performance logic chips will continue to rise in the future. By 2030, the semiconductor market size is expected to reach US$1 trillion, with a compound annual growth rate of approximately 8%.
Wafer testing is an important step performed during the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices. In this step, which is performed before the wafer is sent to chip preparation, all individual integrated circuits present on the wafer are tested for functional defects by applying special test patterns to them. Automatic Semiconductor Probe Station are usually responsible for loading and unloading wafers from carriers and are equipped with automatic pattern recognition optics that can align wafers with sufficient accuracy to ensure accurate alignment between contact pads on the wafer and probe tips. For electrical testing, a set of microscopic contacts or probes of a probe card are fixed in place while the wafer vacuum-mounted on the wafer chuck is moved into electrical contact. When a die is electrically tested, the probe station moves the wafer to the next die and the next test begins. In the chip manufacturing and testing process, Automatic Semiconductor Probe Station are used for wafer-level testing, which can detect defective chips in a timely manner and play a vital role in chip manufacturing. According to our data, the global sales of Automatic Semiconductor Probe Station will be 14,000 units in 2024, and it is expected to exceed 20,000 units by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of approximately 6.4%.
In the global competition landscape of Automatic Semiconductor Probe Station, Tokyo Seimitsu, Tokyo Electron, and Semis occupy a large market share, with CR3 reaching 70% in 2024, and the market concentration is relatively high. The manufacturers of Automatic Semiconductor Probe Station in China (including Taiwan) are mainly Shen Zhen Sidea, FitTech, etc.; in the Chinese market, high-end Automatic Semiconductor Probe Station are dominated by imports from the international market (Tokyo Seimitsu, Tokyo Electron, Semis, etc.), and low-end and mid-end products have begun to form a trend of domestic substitution. As the country pays more and more attention to independent technology research and development and policy support, it is expected that the domestic market will have great potential in the future.
Automatic Semiconductor Probe Station can be divided into two categories according to the structure of the workbench: Ball Screw Linear Translation Stage and Plane Stepper Motor XY-Stage, namely: Plane Stepper Motor XY-Stage probe stations represented by American companies and Ball Screw Linear Translation Stage probe stations produced in Japan and European countries. According to our data, in 2024, the market share of Automatic Semiconductor Probe Station in the Ball Screw Linear Translation Stage will exceed 65%, and the share will continue to grow.
The downstream customers of the Automatic Semiconductor Probe Station industry chain mainly include integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), outsourced packaging and testing companies (OSATs), etc. According to research, OSATs currently account for more than 60% of the market share. In general, the growth in demand for Automatic Semiconductor Probe Station ultimately depends on the growth in the application range of chips, the increase in chip demand, the diversification of chip design models by chip design companies, and the change in the number of chips produced by foundries.
The advantages of Automatic Semiconductor Probe Station are their high degree of automation, high precision and versatility, which can greatly improve test efficiency and accuracy. However, with the continuous development of semiconductor technology, the requirements for test equipment are also getting higher and higher. Therefore, Automatic Semiconductor Probe Station need to be continuously updated and upgraded to adapt to new test needs and challenges.
