Product Definition:
Amorphous silicon is a type of semiconductor material that has a disordered or non-crystalline structure. This makes it less efficient than other types of semiconductors, but it is easier to produce and can be made into thin films that are more flexible and lightweight than traditional silicon wafers. As a result, amorphous silicon is often used in solar cells and other electronics applications where weight or flexibility are important factors.
Rod Amorphous-Silicon:
Rod amorphous-silicon is a type of silicon that has no long-range order to its crystalline structure. It possesses an intermediate range between the hardness of polycrystalline and softness of single-crystal silicon. Rod amorphous is produced by the removal of material from a large block or ingot, which is further processed through various stages such as wafering, cutting, and polishing to create final products such as semiconductors and solar cells.
Wafer Amorphous-Silicon:
Wafer amorphous-silicon is a type of semiconductor material made from crystalline silicon and non-crystalline materials. It's major applications are in the field of optolectronics, photonics, and microelectronics. Optolectronic devices use light to transfer information; they are used in LEDS (light-emitting diode sets), LCDs (liquid crystal displays), photovoltaic cells, etc.
Application Insights:
Electronics application segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is projected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growing electronics industry, particularly in Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa, is expected to drive demand for amorphous-silicon over the forecast period. Electronics manufacturing process heavily relies on silicon wafer as a raw material which ultimately leads to productization of semiconductors. Thus, increasing production of electronic devices across various industries will boost market growth during the estimated time frame.
Automobile manufacturing also accounted for a significant share owing to high demand from automotive manufacturers globally Amorphous-Si wafers are used in automobile body structure where strength.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific 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 from end-use industries, such as consumer electronics, automotive and solar energy. China is projected to remain a key consumer and producer of amorphous-silicon on account of low manufacturing cost coupled with easy availability of land for plant establishment.
The European market also held a significant share in terms of consumption as well as production owing to presence of major automobile manufacturers such as BMW, Daimler AG (Mercedes Benz), Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V., Ford Motor Company, Opel Germany GmbH & Co., Porsche AG etc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for solar energy: The global market for solar energy is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 12% from 2016 to 2020. This is primarily due to the increasing demand for renewable energy sources and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Amorphous-silicon photovoltaics are ideal for use in small and medium-sized applications, making them an attractive option for this market segment.
- Declining costs of solar energy: The cost of installing a solar power system has been declining steadily in recent years, making it more affordable for consumers and businesses alike. This trend is expected to continue over the next few years, which will further boost the demand for amorphous-silicon photovoltaics.
- Growing awareness about the benefits of solar energy: There has been a growing awareness about the benefits of using solar power in recent years, especially among homeowners and businesses interested in reducing their electricity bills or going green. This trend is likely to continue over the next few years, driving up demand for amorphous-silicon photovoltaics globally .
