Based on the application, the market is segmented into advanced packaging, MEMS devices, LED devices, and others. The MEMS segment dominated the global market with a share of over 35% in 2022.
 

• The integration of MEMS devices into smart devices and systems continues to grow. MEMS sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, are integral to features including motion sensing and image stabilization in smartphones and cameras. The demand for MEMS devices with high precision and performance fuels the growth of lithography equipment usage.
   
• Ongoing advancements in MEMS technology including the development of new sensor types and innovative applications fuel the need for advanced lithography equipment. As MEMS devices become more sophisticated, lithography processes enable the fabrication of smaller and more intricate structures.
   

Based on technology, the market is divided into ArF, KrF, i-line, ArF immersion, and Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. The Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography segment is anticipated to register a CAGR of over 10% through 2032. The segment growth is credited to various factors:
 

• EUV lithography offers significantly improved resolution compared to traditional lithography methods. With shorter wavelengths in the extreme ultraviolet spectrum, EUV allows for finer details in the patterning process. This improved precision is essential for manufacturing semiconductor devices with densely packed components.
   
• One of the significant advantages of EUV lithography is its ability to perform single-exposure patterning for certain critical layers. Traditional lithography methods, especially at smaller nodes, often require multiple exposures and complex multi-patterning techniques. EUV's single-exposure capability simplifies the manufacturing process, reducing production time and complexity.
