Market Size & Trends:
The U.S. semiconductor defect inspection equipment market size was valued at USD 558.5 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2025 to 2033. The rapid evolution of semiconductor applications in areas such as AI, 5G, and electric vehicles is fueling the demand for precise defect inspection solutions.
These cutting-edge technologies rely on ultra-small nodes, making early defect detection vital for maintaining yield and reliability. Another significant driver is the U.S. government's emphasis on domestic semiconductor manufacturing through initiatives like the CHIPS Act. With increased funding for fabrication facilities, there is a corresponding rise in demand for inspection equipment to maintain production quality and compliance. Furthermore, the integration of machine learning and advanced analytics in inspection systems is enhancing defect detection accuracy. This technological edge is attracting major players to scale up operations within the U.S. semiconductor ecosystem.
