Covid and Ukrainian Crisis Impact:

● The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the semiconductor wafer cleaning equipment market. The disruption of the global supply chain has made it challenging for semiconductor manufacturers to procure the necessary components for producing wafer cleaning equipment. As a result, there have been delays in equipment delivery and an increase in equipment costs due to the rising prices of components. Additionally, the pandemic-induced decrease in demand for semiconductors, resulting from reduced business investments in new technologies, has contributed to a decline in the demand for wafer cleaning equipment.
● Ukraine plays a crucial role as a major producer of neon gas, which is essential in the production of semiconductor wafer cleaning equipment. The shortage of neon has resulted in a notable price increase for wafer cleaning equipment. Additionally, the crisis in Ukraine has led to a decline in the demand for semiconductors, as businesses have reduced their investments in new technologies and products. Consequently, the decreased demand for semiconductors has directly impacted the demand for wafer cleaning equipment as well.
