Market Overview:
The global wafer cases market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for semiconductor devices and rising number of data centers across the globe. In terms of type, the stainless steel segment is expected to hold a major share in the global wafer cases market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and durability.
Product Definition:
A wafer case is a type of container that is commonly used to ship and store semiconductor wafers. Wafer cases are typically made out of a durable material like plastic or metal, and they have a specially designed lid that helps protect the semiconductor wafers from damage. Because of their design, wafer cases can also be stacked on top of each other, which makes them ideal for storing and shipping large quantities of semiconductor wafers.
Stainless Steel:
Stainless steel is a type of steel that has greater carbon, manganese, and chromium content than conventional grades. The addition of these metals increases the hardenability and lowers the amount of deformation that occurs when it's heated. It also helps to reduce the formation of micro- cracks in case if it's used in high temperature applications like wafer cases do.
The global stainless steel market size was valued at USD 18 billion in 2015.
Polycarbonate:
Polycarbonate (PC) is a thermoplastic polymer, which can be processed by injection molding, extrusion and blow molding. It has superior properties such as high strength, stiffness and temperature resistance. Polycarbonate resins are available in the form of pellets or granules that are typically used to produce rigid plastics through hot-melt processing techniques.
Application Insights:
The others application segment includes electronic packaging, food packaging and medical applications. The demand for the product in this segment is expected to grow at a significant rate owing to its properties such as lightweight, high temperature resistance and chemical inertness. These properties make it suitable for use in various end-use industries including electronics & semiconductors, pharmaceuticals and food & beverages industry.
Wafer storage is estimated to be the fastest-growing application over the forecast period due to increasing demand from both domestic as well as foreign customers across different regions of the world. The growth of this market can be attributed to factors such as growing investments by foreign companies in research & development centers in China coupled with an increase in production activities by local players operating under joint ventures with international players are among few factors driving global wafer cases market growth over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific region dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to increasing demand for electronic products, such as smartphones and tablets, coupled with rising investments by foreign players in China. In addition, favorable government policies promoting manufacturing activities are also expected to drive the regional market over the forecast period.
The Asia Pacific region is home to some of the largest semiconductor manufacturers such as Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.; Broadcom Inc.; Micron Technology Inc.; and SK Hynix Inc., among others. These companies are engaged in a fierce competition not only across their respective industries but also within their own regions owing to low production costs associated with laborious markets including China and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC). This intense competition has resulted in high product availability at competitive prices thereby driving industry growth across this region since 2014-15 fiscal year (July 2015 - June 2016).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for miniaturization in electronic devices
- Rising trend of using advanced materials in wafer cases
- Growing popularity of wearable technology
- Proliferation of next-generation semiconductor technologies
- Increasing number of product launches by leading players
