Market Overview:
The global glass wafers market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for glass wafers from various applications, such as aerospace equipment, motor vehicles, machinery & equipment, pipe & fitting, valves, pumps & compressors and special industry machinery. In addition, the growing demand for glass wafers from Asia Pacific is also contributing to the growth of this market. However, factors such as high manufacturing cost and stringent regulatory norms are restraining the growth of this market.
Product Definition:
A thin slice of semiconductor material, typically silicon, used in the fabrication of integrated circuits and other microdevices.
By Diameter:
By diameter, we mean the thickness of a glass wafer in mm. The size of the glass wafers used in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing is growing rapidly. A few years ago, they were around 25-micron thick; nowadays they are around 100-micron thick or even more than that.
2 inch:
2 inch is a standard size of glass wafer in the semiconductor industry. The 2-inch wafer consists of 1,000 silicon chips and it is used for fabricating integrated circuits (IC) in computers, telecommunication devices, and other electronic products. It has high demand due to its characteristics such as small size & weight & low cost which helps to reduce the overall product cost.
Application Insights:
The machinery & equipment segment accounted for the largest share of over 30.0% in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The product is widely used in manufacturing machines and equipment, such as cutting tools, drilling machines, grinding mills, extruders/spinning wheels/centrifuges among others. In addition, it finds application in various other industries including aerospace & defense and medical equipment where precision is required for high value-added products or processes.
Aerospace Equipment was the second largest segment accounting for a significant share of 29.8%in 2017 owing to increasing demand from low cost carriers such as Southwest Airlines Co., Ltd.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global glass wafers market in 2017. The growth of the region can be attributed to presence of major players such as Corning, Schott, and Swarowski. In addition, high demand for technological advancements is expected to drive industry expansion over next eight years.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing product demand from key sectors including aerospace & defense and automotive. Furthermore, rising investments by regional governments in infrastructure development are likely boost industry expansion over next eight years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for semiconductor devices in consumer electronics and telecommunications sectors
- Rising demand from the optoelectronics sector
- Growing application of glass wafers in solar energy systems
- Proliferation of nanotechnology and MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) industries
- Technological advancements in glass wafer manufacturing processes
