Semiconductor Industry Expansion and Technological Advancement: Dual Growth Drivers
The report identifies two paramount drivers fueling scrubber demand: the explosive growth of global semiconductor production and the transition to more advanced manufacturing nodes. With the semiconductor segment accounting for approximately 90% of total scrubber applications, the correlation is direct and substantial. The semiconductor equipment market itself continues to expand significantly, creating parallel demand for essential emission control systems.
“The unprecedented concentration of semiconductor wafer fabs in the Asia-Pacific region, which consumes about 70% of global process scrubbers, is a fundamental market driver,” the report states. With China alone representing 41% of global demand, the regional manufacturing dominance directly shapes market dynamics. Global investments in semiconductor fabrication plants exceeding USD 500 billion through 2030 are creating sustained demand for advanced abatement solutions, particularly as manufacturers transition to nodes below 7nm and 3nm where process emissions become more complex and hazardous.
