Amidst the escalating demand for system-on-chip (SoC) integrated circuit test equipment, Japanese firm Advantest has significantly ramped up its R&D investments, effectively surging ahead in the global semiconductor test equipment market to overtake US-based Teradyne. By 2023, Advantest had firmly established a 50% market share, with Teradyne trailing at approximately 30%. Notably, Advantest has solidified its position as a key supplier of high-end GPU test equipment to NVIDIA, and it is anticipated that its SoC test equipment sales will surge by 32%, reaching 324 billion yen by 2025.
