Market Overview:
The global silicon polished wafer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for semiconductor devices in various applications such as memory, logic and MPU, analog, discrete device & sensor, and other applications. In terms of type, the 150mm segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global silicon polished wafer market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its low cost and wide adoption in various end-use industries.
Product Definition:
A silicon polished wafer is a thin slice of silicon that has been mechanically ground and then chemically etched to produce a smooth, uniform surface. Silicon polished wafers are used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices, such as microchips and solar cells.
150mm:
150mm is the new term in the silicon polished wafer market which refers to a single layer of 150 mm thickness. It was created to accommodate demand for higher volume production of semiconductors and electronic devices.
200mm:
200mm is the most commonly used wafer diameter in the silicon polished wafer market. It is a standard dimension for many semiconductor devices such as integrated circuits (IC), memory chips, and logic devices. 200mm diameter wafers are also used for fabricating solar cells, which have increased demand due to growing renewable energy sources usage globally.
Application Insights:
The other application segment includes solar panels, medical devices and others. The demand for the product in this segment is expected to witness a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to the growing need for energy conservation coupled with an increase in environmental awareness among consumers, which will result in a rise in demand for silicon wafers used as substrates by manufacturers of photovoltaic cells and solar-grade silicon.
The memory application segment accounted for more than 35% of the overall revenue share in 2017 on account of high production volumes across the globe. Growing demand from various end-use industries including consumer electronics, telecommunication and ITOchin China) are anticipated to propel growth over the forecast period (18).
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing regional market over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for memory chips from China and India on account of rising disposable income, high population, and rapid urbanization in these countries. In addition, growing electronics industry in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC)’s manufacturing plant in Hsinchu will boost product demand further.
The U.S., Germany, France are anticipated to remain significant markets for silicon polished wafers during the forecast period owing to their strong presence across various application segments including Discrete Device & Sensor (DDS), Memory (MEM), Logic & Microcontroller Unit (LPU) as well as Analog Devices(AD). However, slow growth rates observed in some European countries such as Spain and Italy may hamper their overall market share by 2030 due to saturation levels reached by most applications sectors there over past few years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for semiconductor devices from consumer electronics and automotive industries
- Rising number of advanced applications in the semiconductor industry that require polished wafers
- Proliferation of new MEMS and LED manufacturing facilities worldwide
- Growing demand for silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers from the optoelectronics industry
- Increasing investments in R&D by semiconductor manufacturers to develop smaller, faster, and more power-efficient chips
