Automated Test Equipment Market Overview

Automated test equipment (ATE), also known as automatic testing equipment, is a computerized machinery that is used to test the performance, functional, qualification, and safety requirements of electronic systems, subsystems, and devices. The ATE system allows manufacturers to validate and verify various electronics integrated into automotive products. The system helps manufacturers to reduce human intervention involved in manual testing by accelerating consistently running cycles of tests in the product development process. Protect testing reduces minimal chances of human errors by increasing the ability for troubleshooting. Organizations use automated test equipment to deliver quality products to customers.

Growing demand for semiconductors among various industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare, and IT & telecom are driving the automated test equipment market. The automated test equipment market is a highly concentrated market, with only a small chunk of leading semiconductor manufacturers, testing players, and foundries accounting for a larger share of total market revenue in the semiconductor and component testing industry. The market is likely to become even more intense in the near future due to growing merger and acquisition activities. Big players in the market are planning to acquire smaller semiconductor participants for the progression of their business.
