Market Share of Flow Control Industry In The Semiconductor Industry
The competitive rivalry among the flow control equipment providers is moderate, owing to the presence of various dominating brands competing for market shares globally, making the market moderately competitive. The demand for vacuum pumps has spiked in recent years due to the massive consumer electronics and smartphone penetration across developing countries. This is leading to an increased focus on customer acquisition and formulating distribution channels as key strategies. Some key market players include Pfeiffer Vacuum GmbH, Atlas Copco AB, Gardner Denver, and Busch Holding GmbH.
In December 2022, Atlas Copco expanded its foothold in the US by building new semiconductor production facilities. To help the quickly expanding North American semiconductor industry, Edwards, a subsidiary of the Atlas Copco Group, kicked off two new production plants in Arizona and Massachusetts.
In November 2022, Pfeiffer Vacuum offered the first hermetically sealed rotary vane pump for mass spectrometry. The SmartVane is a backup pump for mass spectrometers (ICP-MS, LC/MS) used in pharmaceutical and clinical analytics, food and environmental analytics, and other related fields. Its vacuum pump's construction prevents contamination by making sure there are no oil leaks. The SmartVane features extended maintenance intervals because there is no need for a traditional seal due to the integrated motor.
