Global Flow Meter for Semiconductor Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Flow Meter for Semiconductor market size is predicted to grow from US$ 346 million in 2025 to US$ 473 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2025 to 2031.

Flow meters play an important role in industrial automation and process control. They can monitor the flow state of fluids (whether liquids or gases) in real time and accurately, which is crucial to ensure the stability of production processes and improve efficiency. Among the many types of flow meters, semiconductor flow meters have been widely used in the field of high-purity semiconductor manufacturing due to their excellent high precision and multifunctional characteristics. This type of flow meter is designed for the semiconductor industry's demand for extremely high purity and measurement accuracy of fluids. It can not only measure the mass flow rate of the fluid, but also accumulate and calculate the total mass, which is of great significance for the precise control of raw material inputs and the accurate calculation of production costs.

Semiconductor flow meters (MFMs) are different from mass flow controllers (MFCs). MFCs usually have built-in valves and have the function of controlling fluid flow; semiconductor flow meters focus on detecting the mass flow of fluids and do not provide flow control functions. In gas applications, it can monitor the cumulative flow of gas (i.e., usage), or serve as a double calibration tool or convenient reference device when mass flow controllers adjust gas flow. For liquid flow measurement, mass flow meters are also equipped with control signals to regulate liquid control valves and flow control valves integrated inside vaporizers.

As a key component of gas and liquid flow, flowmeters play an indispensable role in key processes such as deposition, etching, and ion implantation of semiconductor equipment.

From a regional distribution perspective, the Chinese market (including Taiwan) has become the largest single market for semiconductor flowmeters in the world, accounting for 52.48% of the global share in 2024, and is expected to further expand to 53.97% in 2031. Although Japan is still the "manufacturing heart" of global semiconductor flowmeters, China's technological progress and policy support in the field of MFM/MFC are gradually changing this pattern. It is expected that China's production share will increase to 22% in 2031.

Gas flowmeters dominate the semiconductor flowmeter market with a share of 77.9%. Its application scenarios include deposition, etching, and ion implantation. The flow control of these high-purity, highly corrosive gases is directly related to the yield and performance of the chip. In terms of equipment application, flow meters are most widely used in vertical furnaces/horizontal furnaces/RTP equipment. These equipment have extremely high requirements for the stability of gas flow, and the accuracy of the flow meter directly determines the success or failure of the process.

The global semiconductor flowmeter market competition landscape is highly concentrated, and Japan's HORIBA ranks first with a market share of 26.335%. However, Chinese manufacturers such as Beijing Sevenstar are relying on domestic substitution policies and cost advantages to rapidly penetrate the low-end and mid-end markets and gradually break through to the high-end field. In the future, intelligent upgrading and domestic substitution will become the dual driving forces of the semiconductor flowmeter market. Intelligent upgrading will integrate AI algorithms to achieve flow prediction and process optimization, and improve equipment operation and maintenance efficiency; while domestic substitution will continue to increase technology research and development and capacity expansion, gradually breaking the monopoly of international giants and promoting the penetration rate of domestic flow meters in the semiconductor industry chain.
