Flow Meter for Semiconductor Analysis Report ：the market size is projected to grow from USD 324 million in 2024 to USD 478 million by 2031

Flow meters play an important role in industrial automation and process control. They can monitor the flow state of fluids (whether liquids or gases) in real time and accurately, which is crucial to ensure the stability of production processes and improve efficiency. Among the many types of flow meters, semiconductor flow meters have been widely used in the field of high-purity semiconductor manufacturing due to their excellent high precision and multifunctional characteristics. This type of flow meter is designed for the semiconductor industry's demand for extremely high purity and measurement accuracy of fluids. It can not only measure the mass flow rate of the fluid, but also accumulate and calculate the total mass, which is of great significance for the precise control of raw material inputs and the accurate calculation of production costs.

Semiconductor flow meters (MFMs) are different from mass flow controllers (MFCs). MFCs usually have built-in valves and have the function of controlling fluid flow; semiconductor flow meters focus on detecting the mass flow of fluids and do not provide flow control functions. In gas applications, it can monitor the cumulative flow of gas (i.e., usage), or serve as a double calibration tool or convenient reference device when mass flow controllers adjust gas flow. For liquid flow measurement, mass flow meters are also equipped with control signals to regulate liquid control valves and flow control valves integrated inside vaporizers.

Globally, the core manufacturers of semiconductor flowmeters include HORIBA, Brooks Instrument, Beijing Sevenstar, Fujikin, and MKS Instrument, etc. In 2024, the first-tier manufacturers in the world are mainly HORIBA, which has a market share of about 26.35%; he second-tier manufacturers include Brooks Instrument, Beijing Sevenstar, Fujikin, MKS Instrument, Azbil, etc., with a total share of 38.22%.

From the perspective of product types, gas flow meters occupy an important position. They are mainly used in deposition processes, etching processes, ion implantation and other scenarios. Their main function is to monitor/measure the flow of gases (SiH₄, NH₃, CF₄, SF₆, BF₃, PH₃). Gas flow monitoring is the most important application area of ​​MFM in the semiconductor industry, and it is expected that the share will reach 77.9% in 2031.

At the same time, in terms of application, flow meters are mainly used in vertical furnaces/horizontal furnaces/RTP equipment, deposition equipment, etching equipment, gas supply systems and other manufacturers. At present, flow meters are widely used in vertical furnaces/horizontal furnaces/RTP equipment, with a share of approximately 39.5% in 2024 and a CAGR of approximately 4.46% in the next few years.
