According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Review SEM Equipment market size was valued at US$ 774 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1228 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 6.9% during review period.
Defect Review SEM belongs to the category of electron beam inspection equipment. In addition to DR-SEM, electron beam inspection equipment also includes electron beam defect inspection equipment (EBI).
Review SEM (Review Scanning Electron Microscope) is a critical metrology and inspection tool in semiconductor manufacturing, primarily used for high-resolution defect review, classification, and root-cause analysis. Unlike conventional SEMs, Review SEMs are fully integrated with wafer inspection workflows and support automatic navigation to defect locations identified by inspection tools (such as optical or e-beam defect detectors). These systems offer sub-nanometer resolution, advanced image processing, AI-based defect categorization, and compatibility with fab automation systems (SECS/GEM). Review SEMs are essential for yield enhancement, process control, and failure analysis, particularly at advanced nodes (7nm and below), 3D NAND, FinFET, and EUV mask production.
At present, DR-SEM equipment for wafers accounts for the largest proportion, accounting for 90.7% of the market share in 2024. Among them, the main companies producing DR-SEM equipment for masks are Advantest and Japan's Holon, of which Holon is mainly sold in Japan. The global leading company of DR-SEM equipment for wafers is Applied Materials, which accounted for more than 55% of the market in 2024. As Chinese local front-end measurement and testing equipment manufacturers gradually commercialize mass production, the growth rate of DR-SEM sales will exceed the global growth rate in the future.
From the production side, the core production areas of Review SEM equipment are mainly the United States and Japan, among which the United States is the most important production area, accounting for 66% of the market share in 2024. There are still large differences in the application, technology and product performance of Chinese electron beam detection and measurement equipment companies and international leading companies (such as Applied Materials and Hitachi High-Tech) in the field of advanced processes. However, as the localization process of Chinese local manufacturers accelerates, some Chinese local companies have also gained a certain market share in the electron beam detection and measurement equipment market, such as Shanghai Jingce and Jingce, among which Jingce focuses on CD-SEM equipment. In addition, in recent years, there have been many new entrants from Chinese local enterprises in the field of electron beam inspection and measurement equipment, such as Wellrun Microelectronics (EBI and CD-SEM), Suzhou Siscantech (EBI and CD-SEM), Suzhou Siscantech (CD-SEM), Wuxi Genxinyue Technology Co., Ltd (CD-SEM and DR-SEM), Suzhou AISTech (EBI) and Huayan Xince Semiconductor (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (EBI). However, at present, their scale is relatively small or some are still in the demo stage. With the development of China's semiconductor market in the future, it is expected that the global competition share of Chinese local manufacturers will gradually increase in the next few years, and China will maintain the fastest growth rate. With the advancement of domestic electron beam inspection and measurement equipment technology, the emergence of cost advantages and the strengthening of policy support, it is expected that by 2031, China's electron beam inspection and measurement equipment output share will reach 4.9%.
