Automated Test Equipment Market Segment Insights


Automated Test Equipment Component Insights


Based on Components, the Automated Test Equipment market segmentation includes Industrial PC, Mass Interconnect, Handlers, Probers, and Semiconductors. Handlers are expected to hold the highest share of the market. Automatic test equipment systems for testing such integrated systems and packaged devices interface with automated placement tools called handlers. The handler physically places the DUT on the interface test adapter (ITA) so that the device can measure it. A custom test device and the processor have replaced the generic tester and can directly meet the specified requirements. This helps to achieve goals quickly and reduces the cost of testing. At the back end of the integrated chip (IC) process, handlers help classify the packages available in IS. Therefore, automated test equipment can successfully test ICs in a real environment rather than through simulation by an IC tester. This helps to test complex ICs with high fault coverage at low cost and further improves test quality.


Automated Test Equipment Application Insights


Based on Application, the Automated Test Equipment market segmentation includes Consumer Electronics, Automotive, Aerospace & Defense, and Telecommunication. The Aerospace & Defense segment is expected to grow the fastest during the forecast period. The adoption of complex equipment in the aerospace and defense industry has increased over the past three decades owing to increasing government spending in various regions. This has led to rapid technological development, with innovations leading to increased efficiency of existing tools and further coverage of new operating ranges useful for a wide range of functions.


Along with rising revenues, the aerospace industry is expected to invest heavily in automated test equipment. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. aerospace product and component manufacturing revenues are increasing yearly. Revenue fell slightly during the pandemic and has gradually increased since.


Automated Test Equipment Type Insights


Based on Components, the Automated Test Equipment market data includes Memory ATE, Non-Memory ATE, and Discreet ATE. The non-memory ATE segment leads the automated test equipment market. Recent innovations in IoT devices, autonomous vehicles, and major advancements in the defense and aerospace sectors have dramatically changed the market dynamics. Companies are working to increase customer satisfaction. These factors are significant growth drivers for the market.
