The global Lithography Steppers market size is expected to reach $ 18968 million by 2031, rising at a market growth of 10.3% CAGR during the forecast period (2025-2031).
In this report, we will assess the current U.S. tariff framework alongside international policy adaptations, analyzing their effects on competitive market structures, regional economic dynamics, and supply chain resilience.
Lithography Steppers are core equipment in semiconductor manufacturing, achieving high-precision pattern transfer through a "step-and-repeat" technique. The core principle is to expose the integrated circuit pattern on the mask onto the surface of a coated wafer, field by field, using an optical projection system. After each exposure, the wafer stage moves to the next field, and this process is repeated until the entire wafer is covered. This technology can handle wafer warpage and thick resist processes, supporting advanced packaging needs such as flip-chip, fan-out WLP/PLP, and 2.5D/3D. Global stepper sales are expected to reach 500 units in 2024, with an average selling price of US million per unit. The industry's gross profit margin is approximately 40%.
Market drivers primarily include the following:
Fab expansion and process technology iteration
The global semiconductor industry's migration to advanced processes (such as 2nm and 3nm) has driven a surge in demand for high-end lithography equipment. There are already 32 12-inch fabs under construction in mainland China, representing a monthly production capacity exceeding 1.2 million wafers, directly driving annual lithography equipment procurement to over 350 units. At the same time, leading companies such as TSMC and Samsung are accelerating EUV equipment deployment to support 2nm mass production, further increasing market reliance on high-precision lithography equipment.
Geopolitics and supply chain restructuring
US technology controls on China (such as the inclusion of DUV immersion equipment in export licenses) have led to a fragmentation in the global supply chain. China has increased its support for localization through its 14th Five-Year Plan for the integrated circuit industry, increasing dedicated R&D funding for lithography equipment to 14.7 billion yuan in 2025. This will encourage local companies (such as Shanghai Microelectronics) to achieve mass production breakthroughs in 28nm DUV equipment. The localization rate is expected to increase from 19.3% in 2025 to 34.5% in 2030. Furthermore, the EU has extended the approval period for high-precision lithography machine components from China to 18 months, prompting Chinese and European companies to accelerate technological cooperation to circumvent trade barriers.
Expansion of Emerging Application Areas
Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things are driving growing demand for compound semiconductors (such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride), with their procurement share increasing from 17% to 33%. Stepper lithography machines, adapted for specialized wavelengths (such as 365nm) and the manufacture of complex structure devices, have become key equipment in compound semiconductor production. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of advanced packaging technologies (such as fan-out WLP) requires lithography machines to support more complex pattern transfers, further expanding the market.
