Market Synopsis:

The Global Probe Card Market is valued at USD 2,129.4 Million in the year 2021 and is projected to reach a value of USD 3,107 Million by the year 2028. The Global Market is forecasted to grow exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.5% over the forecast period.

A Probe Card is an interface that allows a semiconductor wafer to be tested. In the first process of semiconductor manufacturing, this process is used to check the quality of integrated circuits or latent semantic indexing. A surge in electronic testing demand in the semiconductor industry could drive the Global Probe Card Market. The lack of consumer awareness about the benefits of the Probe Card solution is expected to stymie market growth. A rise in strategic partnership and collaboration among organizations, on the other hand, is expected to provide opportunities for the Global Probe Card Market.

The high cost of the Probe Card solution may limit the market's growth. Increased demand for electronic testing in the semiconductor industry is propelling the Global Probe Card Market forward. Due to new and advanced technology inputs, the Probe Card Market has expanded in popularity. The shrinking of electrical items used in various devices is one of the key factors driving the market's growth. New devices in all shapes and sizes are constantly being invented, necessitating the creation of electrical testing to handle the new gadgets. As a result, the market's growth has sped up. It's also utilized to create an electrical path between the test system and the circuits, allowing them to be inspected and certified.

The rise in demand for wearables, smartphones, and the Internet of Things is driving the growth of the Probe Card Market (IoT). In the Probe Card Market, new and advanced technology is also fueling market expansion. Manufacturing plants producing probing cards have also increased their investments in order to stay ahead of the competition and avoid falling behind. These plants must keep up with the growing demand for electrical goods. Furthermore, the semiconductor industry is focusing on developing integrated circuits (ICs) to enable advanced technology.

Semiconductor manufacturers are continually spending in research and development to develop micro components in order to suit the growing demand for small and portable electronic devices. MEMS and 3D stacked ICs are the result of this. Electronic component shrinkage has also impacted semiconductor device producers, as foundries must revamp their manufacturing facilities to enable optimal MEMS and 3D IC production. As a result, demand for testing equipment is predicted to increase, propelling the Probe Card Market forward over the forecast period.

Market Segmentation:

The Probe Card Market is segmented on the basis of Type and Application. On the basis of Type, the market is segmented into Cantilever Probe Card, MEMS Probe Card and Vertical Probe Card. On the basis of Application, the market is segmented into DRAM, Flash Foundry & Logic and Others.

Based on Type

MEMS Probe cards account for a significant portion of the market's growth. MEMS-SP stands for logic probe cards, which can be used to test flip chips for microprocessors and SoC devices, as well as fine pitch bump wafers. MEMS-SP allows for extremely precise and repeatable testing with little variance. Micron-level contact with I/Os and power connections on ICs is possible because to MEMS technology. MEMS probes are perfect for fulfilling the fine-pitch and high-pin count needs of cutting-edge semiconductor process nodes and sophisticated packaging because of their precision.

Based on Application

Due to the expansion of the semiconductor sector, the largest segment, foundry and logic, is expected to continue to grow at the fastest rate over the forecast period. The foundry model uses two ways to reduce these costs, while fabless businesses save money by not having such facilities. Merchant foundries, on the other hand, get their work from a global pool of fabless businesses and keep their plants running by carefully scheduling, pricing, and contracting.

Asia Pacific Holds the Largest Share of the Probe Card Market

Asia Pacific is projected to acquire the largest market with a share of 38.10% during the year 2021.
