Global Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) Software Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2025-2031

The global Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) Software market size is predicted to grow from US$ 577 million in 2025 to US$ 1504 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.3% from 2025 to 2031.

Photolithographic contact correction (OPC) software is a tool used in the semiconductor manufacturing process. It is mainly used to correct photolithographic patterns to solve problems such as chip size deviation and shape distortion caused by the limitation of photolithography process. Photolithography is an important step in semiconductor manufacturing used to transfer pattern patterns from chip designs onto silicon wafers. However, due to limitations of optical phenomena and physical effects, the photolithography process can cause some deviations in shape and size. These deviations may affect the chip's performance and functionality. OPC software automatically performs pattern correction and optimization by analyzing lithographic patterns and optical effects. It can fine-tune and optimize chip designs based on specific lithography process parameters and device characteristics. The goal of the revision is to achieve more accurate, stable and consistent chip manufacturing.

The wafer industry is expanding due to ongoing developments in semiconductor technology, such as the shift to smaller process nodes (for example, from 14nm to 7nm and beyond). As a result, producers can create more compact, potent, and energy-efficient chips. For features such as autonomous driving, electrification, and connection, the car industry is becoming increasingly dependent on cutting-edge electronics. More sophisticated semiconductor wafers are needed for this. One primary driver is the widespread use of electronic devices in various sectors, including consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare, and telecommunications. Manufacturing the integrated circuits (ICs) utilized in these devices is intimately related to the demand for semiconductor wafers. More potent and energy-efficient chips are needed due to the growth in data centers and cloud computing services. The need for cutting-edge semiconductor wafers has consequently increased. Evolving industry trends, such as Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, green electronic component manufacturing, digitization, and wide-scale adoption of IoT-connected devices offer lucrative growth opportunities in the EDA software market. The integrated AI-driven engine assists chip manufacturers in minimizing production costs without compromising the silicon quality and boosts engineering productivity, supporting the OPC software market growth.
