The Global Semiconductor Materials Market is projected to reach USD 78.42 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period.
Semiconductor Materials Market
Semiconductor materials are used extensively in electronics. Silicon, germanium, gallium, indium, and molybdenum are some of the most commonly used semiconductor materials. Silicon is the most preferred semiconductor in the market due to its properties such as high electron mobility at room temperatures and fast electrical current transfer at high temperatures. Silicon is the most abundant element present in the earth's crust and hence it is very cheap. Silicon is not a naturally conducting material, but once stimulated by increasing temperature, its excited electrons jump from valence band to conduction band. In this state, silicon acts as a conductor. The amount of stimulation can be maintained at specific levels depending upon various applications.
Semiconductor Materials Market
The electronics industry is the main end-user in the semiconductor materials market. More than 50% of semiconductor materials manufactured globally are used in electronics. All electronic devices are made of semiconductor chips. Mobiles, television, stereo, kitchen appliances, personal grooming products, such as shavers, trimmers, etc., use semiconductor materials. Over the past few years, the contribution of semiconductor materials to the automotive industry grew from 17% to nearly 47%, indicating the increased use of electronic semiconductor materials in automotive. With the increasing use of automated systems, the use of these materials is also growing. Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS), power management in electric vehicles (EVs), and other automation technologies such as dashboard camera, navigation, and smart keys, as well as image processing systems, are giving driving the use of semiconductor materials in automotive. In the aerospace industry, the increased use of automation systems has escalated the demand for semiconductor materials. Autopilot, auto ejection systems, cloud penetrating radars, target locking systems, and geographical surveillance systems use semiconductor materials. The introduction of nano-electronics and reducing the size of SOC's has resulted in a reduced error rate in electronic systems to 1ppm.
The semiconductor materials market is dominant in the Asia Pacific region. This can be attributed to the rapid growth of economies such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea. China is the largest producer as well as consumer of semiconductor materials followed by India. The semiconductor materials market in North America and Europe is witnessing high growth. However, many European companies have set up their manufacturing facilities in China and other Asia Pacific countries to optimize manufacturing and logistic activities. The Middle East is an emerging market for semiconductor materials, which is likely to witness significant demand, especially in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Key Factors Impacting the Growth of Semiconductor MaterialsMarket:
- Increasing automation in the automotive sector.
- Increased demand for electronics products with short product life cycles.
- Rising environmental concerns due to increased radiation (SAR) levels.
Key Developments in the Semiconductor Materials Market:
- In April 2018, Hitachi Chemical Co.(Japan) constructed a new factory to manufacture advanced functional laminate materials on the site of Hitachi Chemical Electronic Materials (Taiwan) Co. Ltd, a Hitachi Chemical's subsidiary, in Taiwan.
- In June 2018, Kyocera Corporation inaugurated a new plant at its Kagoshima Sendai manufacturing complex in Japan. The company aims to increase the production of ceramic microelectronic packages in order to accommodate the robust demand and expand related businesses in the future.
