Mass Flow Controller Market Forecast to 2030 – Global Analysis By Product Type (Thermal Mass Flow Controllers, Differential Pressure Flow Controllers and Coriolis Flow Controllers), Media Type (Gas, Liquid and Multi-phase Fluids), Material, Flow Rate, Connectivity, Application, End User and By Geography


According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Mass Flow Controller Market is accounted for $1.6 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $2.7 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period. The precise tool used to control and measure the flow of gases or liquids in a system is called a mass flow controller (MFC). It maintains steady and precise flow rates by modifying the flow in response to real-time mass flow measurements. In sectors where exact flow control is vital for preserving process accuracy, efficiency, and safety, such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductor manufacturing, MFCs are indispensable.

According to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), global semiconductor industry sales reached $574.1 billion in 2022.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing demand in semiconductor manufacturing

The increasing demand for mass flow controllers in semiconductor manufacturing is a key driver for the market. These controllers are critical in maintaining precise gas flow rates during processes like chemical vapor deposition and etching. The rapid expansion of the electronics industry, fueled by advancements in IoT, AI, and 5G technologies, has amplified the need for semiconductors, thereby boosting the adoption of mass flow controllers. This trend is expected to persist as the global reliance on advanced electronic devices continues to grow.

Restraint:

Volatility in raw material prices

The fluctuating prices of raw materials such as stainless steel and other metals used in manufacturing mass flow controllers act as a significant restraint. These price variations impact production costs and profit margins, especially for small and medium-sized manufacturers. Additionally, supply chain disruptions and geopolitical factors further exacerbate price volatility. Such uncertainties make it challenging for manufacturers to plan long-term investments, thereby hindering market growth.

Opportunity:

Emergence of smart manufacturing

The rise of smart manufacturing presents a significant opportunity for the mass flow controller market. With the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies, including IoT and AI, mass flow controllers are becoming more advanced, offering real-time monitoring and enhanced precision. These innovations are particularly beneficial in industries like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food processing, where accuracy is paramount. The growing adoption of automation and digitalization across industrial sectors is expected to drive demand for intelligent mass flow controllers.

Threat:

Availability of alternatives

The availability of alternative technologies such as volumetric flow meters poses a threat to the mass flow controller market. These alternatives often offer lower costs and simpler designs, making them attractive to cost-sensitive buyers. Additionally, advancements in competing technologies could reduce the reliance on mass flow controllers in certain applications. This competition may limit market growth unless manufacturers innovate to maintain their competitive edge.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the mass flow controller market. While disruptions in supply chains and reduced industrial activities initially hampered growth, the increased demand from sectors like biotechnology and pharmaceuticals offset these challenges. Mass flow controllers became essential in vaccine production and medical device manufacturing during the pandemic, highlighting their critical role in healthcare-related applications.

The thermal mass flow controllers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The thermal mass flow controllers segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period due to their widespread adoption across industries like semiconductors, chemicals, and oil & gas. These controllers offer high accuracy and reliability in measuring gas flow rates under varying conditions. Their ability to handle a wide range of gases makes them indispensable in critical applications such as semiconductor fabrication and chemical processing.

The biotechnology and pharmaceuticals segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the biotechnology and pharmaceuticals segment is expected to witness the highest CAGR. The growing focus on drug development, vaccine production, and biopharmaceutical research drives demand for precise fluid control systems like mass flow controllers. These devices ensure accurate dosing and mixing during production processes, making them integral to maintaining quality standards in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Region with largest share:

The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to account for the largest market share during the forecast period due to its dominance in semiconductor manufacturing and rapid industrialization. Countries like China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are major hubs for electronics production, driving significant demand for mass flow controllers. Additionally, expanding pharmaceutical industries in this region further contribute to its market leadership.

Region with highest CAGR:

The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to register the highest growth rate over the forecast period owing to increasing investments in smart manufacturing and technological advancements across industries. The growing adoption of automation in emerging economies like India and Southeast Asian countries further accelerates this growth. The region's focus on innovation ensures sustained demand for advanced mass flow controller solutions.

Key players in the market

Key Developments:

In March 2024, Brooks Instrument has released its new GF120xHT series high-temperature of thermal mass flow controllers. This is the company’s first high-temperature mass flow controller in the GF family and is specifically designed to support precursors required in semiconductor manufacturing including liquid precursors for compound semiconductors.

In November 2019, HORIBA, Ltd. will be launching the DZ-100 ultra-thin Mass Flow Controller (MFC) this spring. The DZ-100 controller is counted as one of the MFCs that the HORIBA Group has developed itself. The ultra-thin MFC DZ-100 inherits the high sensitivity and broad range of flow control technology used in HORIBA STEC’s mainstream product, the pressure-insensitive MFC D500, yet has its module width reduced from 28.575 mm (1.125 inches) to 10 mm, roughly a third of the existing width, without performance loss due to size reduction, and weighs 70% less at 230g.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
