Global Nanoimprint Lithography Equipment Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Nanoimprint Lithography Equipment market size is predicted to grow from US$ 116 million in 2025 to US$ 189 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.5% from 2025 to 2031.

Imprinting technology is an ancient technique for the reproduction of writings on appropriate supports. Since 1990´s, one of the imprinting techniques, i.e., injection moulding has been used for compact disk (CD) production. More recently, the semiconductor industry is interested in imprint related techniques because of the mass production requirement of future microelectronic circuits with a possible critical dimension down to a few nanometers. At this deep nanometer scale, traditional photolithography is supposed to rule out because of the optical diffraction or material limitations. In fact, the actual minimum feature size in an integrated circuit (IC) is already less than 50 nm and the actual manufacturing systems are already extremely sophisticated and expensive. The semiconductor industry has always been looking for alternative patterning methods in order to follow Moore´s law, which has been formulated to predict the evolution of the technology nodes. Now, extreme UV lithography (EUV), 193 nm immersion lithography, mask less lithography (MLL) techniques and nanoimprint lithography (NIL) are considered as candidates for the so called Next Generation Lithography (NGL) at 32 nm and 22 nm nodes. In parallel, imprint technology has been promoted by a large scientific community and non-IC industry segments including high-density storage, optoelectronics, telecommunication as well as biochips or micro total analysis systems.

Global Nanoimprint Lithography System key players include Obducat, EV Group, Canon(Molecular Imprints), etc. Global top three manufacturers hold a share about 75%.

Europe is the largest market, with a share about 53%, followed by China and North America, both have a share about 35 percent.

In terms of product, UV-based Nanoimprint Lithography (UV-NIL) is the largest segment, with a share about 40%. And in terms of application, the largest application is Optical equipment, followed by Consumer electronics, etc.
