The industrial automation plays an essential role in every industry and manufacturing scenario. It helps save time and money as well as reduces human efforts. The use of control systems, including computers or robots, and information technologies for handling different processes and machinery help maximize the productivity rate of any company. The growing adoption of IoT across industrial, commercial, and residential sectors is accelerating the use of semiconductor equipment. For instance, General Electric offers Brilliant Factory, a suite of hardware assets, software, and consultation services, for upgrading factories as per the industrial IoT (IIoT) principles. The company claimed that this can help manufacturers enhance the performance of their factories using predictive analytics. Moreover, industrial automation is being used in every sector, including manufacturing, electronics, automobile, and aerospace & defense, which, in turn, is bolstering the demand for semiconductor devices. Thus, the high use of semiconductor devices in industrial automation is propelling the growth of the semiconductor assembly and testing services market.

The unprecedented growth in the spread of the COVID-19 has urged governments worldwide to impose strict restrictions on vehicle and human movement. Travel bans, mass lockdowns, and business shutdowns have affected several economies and industries in various countries. The lockdown imposition has resulted in lesser production of commodities, goods, and services. Manufacturing, automotive, semiconductor & electronics, oil & gas, mining, aviation, and other industries have witnessed a decline in their operations due to temporary shutdown of activities. The semiconductor industry took a significant hit due to the lowered demand for electronic components from the industrial sector and other end users.
Moreover, the revenue of microelectronics providers also decreased due to downscaling of production during the lockdown period. Post lockdown, the semiconductor production facilities restarted the operation by taking social distancing measures. Besides, work from home and remote monitoring strategies helped increase the sale of advanced electronics products for better connectivity. The demand for IT and telecommunications products for ensuring effective communications increased in many businesses, which allowed the industry to evolve with new technologies such as IoT connectivity. The increasing demand for electronic devices with small form factor, specifically for health monitoring, as well as smartphones augmented the semiconductor assembly and testing services market growth.
Major players operating in the global semiconductor assembly and testing services market include Amkor Technology; ASE Group; Chipbond Technology Corporation; Integrated Micro-Electronics, Inc.; Integra Technologies; Powertech Technology Inc.; Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd; Teledyne Technologies Incorporated; Unisem Group; and JCET Group Co., Ltd.
