Global Wafer Cleaning Equipment Market - Forecasts from 2018 to 2023

The global wafer cleaning equipment market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.05% over the forecast period of 2017 - 2023. A Wafer Cleaning Equipment can be defined as a high power microwave oscillator that makes use of the interaction magnetic field and electric field to produce high-power output in the form of oscillations. The market is witnessing an impressive growth and this growth is attributed to rapid growth of industries like military and defense and consumer electronics across the globe. Microwave ovens are one of the most common applications of Wafer Cleaning Equipment. Strengthening economies in the world are increasing the disposable income of people. Rising disposable incomes are increasing the adoption of solutions like microwave ovens for use in both homes and industries, thus driving the market growth. Increasing spending by governments worldwide into strengthening their military and defense sector is another major factor contributing to the market growth. The United States, in 2016, spent US$ 584 billion into its defense which was nearly 3.2% of the country’s GDP and 14.97% of the country’s total expenditure that year. For the same year, China’s defense budget was 982.14 billion Chinese Yuan and that of Russia was 3.8 trillion Russian Rubles. A good portion of the governments’ budget is apportioned for armaments, most of which use RADARs for applications like air defense, missile control, ground surveillance, military air traffic control, ship navigation, and search and rescue among various others. This is driving the growth of Wafer Cleaning Equipment market as Wafer Cleaning Equipment are an integral part of most of the RADARs. Continuous investments by major market players into research and development are aimed at increasing the performance, life and reliability of Wafer Cleaning Equipment and pushing their applications across various industry verticals. These investments by the market players are expected to keep fueling the growth of this market over the projected period.
