Turbomolecular Pumps Market Outlook - 2025
The Global Turbomolecular Pumps Market size was $1,005 million in 2017, and is projected to reach $1,529 million in 2025, growing at a CAGR of 5.4%.A turbomolecular pump is a multi-stage axial-flow turbine in which rapidly revolving blades deliver compression by augmenting the possibility of gas molecules progressing in the pumping direction. This pump is optimized for molecular flow circumstances and necessitates an aptly sized dual stage rotary oil-free scroll pump or vane pump so as to deplete to environment.
Market Dynamics
Increase in demand for flat-panel displays globally boosts the need of turbomolecular pumps. Owing to the high vacuum and dirt-free neighboring condition requirements for manufacturing FPDs, a turbomolecular pump and abatement machine are vital components. Therefore, the capability of turbomolecular pumps to proficiently carry out such corrosive and harsh-duty applications is estimated to fuel the turbomolecular pumps market demand. In addition, surge in demand for mobile phone, and other electronic equipment worldwide boosts the need for semiconductor, which in turn drives the growth of the turbomolecular pumps market.
However, these pumps require a small backing pump to efficiently perform in high atmospheric pressure conditions, which further increases the cost of the pump. Therefore, high cost of manufacturing the pump is estimated to hamper the growth of the turbomolecular pumps market. On the other hand, design improvements and technological advancements in the global turbomolecular pumps market are influenced by the requirements and trends in the application segments, specifically the analytical instrumentation, photo voltaic, and semiconductor processing, thereby estimated to create remunerative opportunities for the turbomolecular pumps market.
Manufacturing of semiconductor chips is carried out in high vacuum that ranges from 103 to 107 mbar. This vacuum range facilitates proper atmosphere for the doping process in semiconductors. Hence, because this application requires high and ultra-high vacuum, oil-free, and clean surrounding condition, a turbomolecular pump and abatement equipment are crucial components required to produce them.
Also, with the use of turbomolecular pumps, corrosive and toxic gases are pumped proficiently. In addition, owing to the technological advancements related to artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet-of-Things (IoT), the semiconductor market is projected to grow rapidly, which further demands turbomolecular pumps for generating ultra-high vacuum pressures, thus, driving the development of the turbomolecular pumps industry.
Turbomolecular pump manufacturers have been adopting newer strategies, such as acquisitions and product launches, to stimulate the growth of the market; for instance, in 2017, Pfeiffer Vacuum GmbH acquired Nor-Cal Products, a manufacturer of premium-quality vacuum components and chambers for semiconductors, coatings, universities, and research facilities. This acquisition has helped Pfeiffer to gain benefit from Nor-Cal’s high profile, and its radical online and offline sales channel to conquest new customers and raise its turbomolecular pumps market share in North America. Similarly, in August 2017, Pfeiffer Vacuum expanded its business by establishing a new service center in Malaysia, thereby improving the aftermarket sales of the company.
A turbomolecular pump needs only a part of the power utilized by an oil diffusion pump to produce similar levels of vacuum. Hence, a shift made from a diffusion pump to a turbomolecular pump provides substantial quantity of energy savings on a scale of kilowatts per tool. In addition, owing to the low operating cost, lowered downtime, and high performance offered by turbomolecular pumps, the solar industry has been gradually moving towards them. Moreover, the magnetically levitated turbomolecular pump uses magnetic fields for its operation, thereby reducing the need for lubricants and failure of bearings used. Furthermore, manufacturers have been producing clean, green, and leakage-free turbomolecular pump solutions for various application segments, such as leak detection, analytical instrumentation, and others. Thus, the increased focus for saving energy and using renewable energy globally is projected to fuel the growth of the industry.
