The probe card market size is projected to reach US$ 3,436.80 million by 2028 from US$ 2,059.80 million in 2020; it is expected to witness healthy market growth of 6.7% CAGR during 2021–2028.
A probe card is an interface that allows a semiconductor wafer to be tested. In the initial step of semiconductor manufacturing, this procedure is used to assess the quality of integrated circuits or latent semantic indexing. In most cases, the probe card is mechanically docked to a prober and electrically linked to a tester. A probe card's principal purpose is to establish an electrical connection between the test equipment and the circuits on the wafer, allowing the circuits to be tested. Printed circuit boards (PCB) and various types of contact elements are the fundamental components of probe cards. A probe card considers a variety of elements, some of which are quite common and others that have highly specific use.
The consumer electronics business has evolved as a result of increased usage of cellphones, desktops, digital cameras, tablets, laptops, hard drives, and televisions, among other things, as well as constant research and introduction of new technologies. The introduction of smart gadgets and the Internet of Things, as well as the expanding acceptance of tablets and the spike in demand for devices with huge screens, are all contributing to the probe market growth. The demand for semiconductors has been fueled by changes in chip size trends and a rising preference for creative architecture in various electronic products. The increasing size of IC chip manufacturing resulted in a boom in the demand for electronics testing, which is driving up the need for probe cards. The incorporation of modern technologies, such as AI and IoT, into semiconductor production equipment will hasten their acceptance in fabrication facilities. Furthermore, increased need for silicon-based sensors for IoT devices, expanding chip industry presence in emerging nations, and an increase in the number of data centers and servers are factors that assist raise the semiconductor industry's performance, which, in turn, contribute to probe card demand.
The worldwide lockdown to minimize the transmission of virus has significantly disrupted the supply chain activities along with production volume across several manufacturers especially the small & medium enterprise owners. The semiconductor industry took a significant hit as the demand for electronic components was lowered from industrial sector and end users. The revenue model for microelectronics has declined as no mass production was carried in the lockdown period. Post lockdown, the semiconductor industry started to regain the market share as production facilities restarted the operation by taking social distancing measures. Besides, work from home and remote monitoring strategies also helped increase the sale of advanced electronics products for better connectivity. IT and telecommunication industry importance have been highlighted for the communicational purpose, which allowed the industry to evolve with new technologies such as IoT connectivity and high-speed Wi-Fi compatible packaging technology.
