Single-Step, Electron Beam, and IC Packaging Lead 2024 Direct Write Semiconductor Market; Multi-Step, Laser-Based, and Photonic Applications to Drive Fastest Growth Through 2032

By Process Type

In 2024, Single-Step Direct Write led the market with a 67.91% revenue share, due to its simplified processes and shortened production times, making it especially useful for low-volume manufacturing and rapid prototyping. With ground-breaking innovations introduced by companies such as Optomec’s Aeon 3000 system employing femtosecond laser technology, this approach has been advanced greatly.

The Multi-Step Direct Write segment is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 8.31% (2025–2032), driven in large part by a company like Nano Dimension that is utilizing its advancements in multi-material 3D printing for complex, incredibly precise applications in semiconductor manufacturing.

By Technology

In 2024, the Electron Beam Direct Write segment held the largest market share at 48.11%, because of its precision and ability to make high-resolution patterns used in photonic devices and integrated circuits. Companies such as Raith GmbH have advanced this sector through the introduction of high-speed, high-resolution systems that have proven essential in next-generation semiconductor manufacturing.

The Laser-Based Direct Write segment is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 8.37% (2025–2032), mostly buoyed by advances by companies like Coherent’s RISE 3D system which supports fast, non-contact patterning for electronic and automotive applications.

By Application

In 2024, the IC Packaging segment led the market with a 39.04% share, due to the increased demand for more compact and higher-performing chips. The advantages of direct write methods allow accurate, “virtual” mask-free patterning critical for advanced interconnects. Companies like Amkor Technology, Inc. are advancing SIP and 3D packaging designs to fulfill the needs of mobile applications and the automotive industry.

The Photonic Devices segment is set to grow fastest at a CAGR of 8.82%, primarily due to data on-demand with both internet and wireless technologies and new innovations like TDK Corporation’s spin photo detector.

By Material

In 2024, the Metal Inks segment led the market with a 45.17% revenue share, owing to its superior conductivity and printability needed practical to print fine conductive tracks in semiconductor devices. For example, DuPont mentioned that it expanded its silver nanoparticle ink portfolio to also include robotically printed flexible circuits and RFID.
