Capacitance Meter Market - Forecasts from 2023 to 2028

The capacitance meter market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.26% during the forecast period.

The capacitance of discrete capacitors is often measured using a piece of electronic test equipment known as a capacitance meter. They are typically used in power plants and while testing, analyzing, modifying, or maintaining electric circuits to measure condition characteristics, including voltage, frequency, current load impedance, and phase angle for different types of equipment. The desire for high-performance, inexpensive semiconductors is one of several factors that affect market growth. Capacitance meters are employed in a variety of settings, including semiconductor manufacturing, industrial processing, aircraft maintenance, and others. The rising demand for consumer electronics and electric cars in the automotive is anticipated to boost the capacitance meter market growth.

The expanding consumer electronics industry is augmenting market growth.

Consumer electronics also make extensive use of capacitance meters because they offer a simple method for accurately measuring small capacitor values. The capacitance meter market will be driven by increased demand for goods such as tablets, smartphones, laptop computers, and wearable devices.  According to World Bank data, by the end of 2022, there were 6.6 billion smartphone subscribers or almost 77% of all mobile phone subscriptions. By 2027, this number is expected to increase to 7.8 billion.  VAT Group 2020 spent over USD 44 million, or 6% of its net sales, was spent on R&D. The majority of this money was used to develop products with the precision and purity needed for manufacturing nodes of 5 nm and smaller in the upcoming generation of semiconductors. These research projects and the development of new, enhanced products in consumer electronics are anticipated to boost the capacitance meters market growth.

The growing semiconductor industry is augmenting the demand for capacitance meters.

The capacitance meters are devices that gauge a capacitor's capacity to hold an electric charge. In semiconductor production lines, they are utilized to test, examine, and sort ceramics. The rising semiconductor sales and the market will boost the capacitance meter market growth. According to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics, global semiconductor sector sales were estimated to have reached USD 43.6 billion in May 2021, up from USD 41.9 billion in April 2021 and USD 4.6 billion as of May 2020, respectively. Also, as per the same source, Taiwan's semiconductor industry accounted for US$115 billion, or almost 20% of the global semiconductor industry. Hence, as the sales and market of semiconductors grow, the demand for capacitance meters will also increase, thereby boosting the overall market growth during the forecasted period.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the market growth.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to account for a significant market share of the capacitance meter market owing to the advancement in semiconductor technology tools, due to which semiconductor production has evolved in the region’s countries like China, Taiwan, and Korea. In contrast, the Chinese government continues to emphasize the semiconductor sector as a driver of economic development and technological leadership, which will also boost the capacitance meter market growth. In April 2022, Teradyne Inc., a prominent manufacturer of automated test equipment, had given Nations Technologies the 7,000th instance of their J750 semiconductor test platform, a well-known manufacturer of security integrated circuit (IC) chips and microcontroller units (MCUs) in China. The South Korean portion and other important foundry hubs are boosting their investments and offering incentives to increase semiconductor production. In May 2021, according to a statement from the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy said, semiconductor chip shipments are anticipated to double to USD 200 billion by 2030. These developments and investments in semiconductors will boost the capacitance meters market growth in the Asia Pacific region during the forecasted period.
