Market Overview:
The global alumina 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 semiconductor processing and sensor components. Additionally, the growing demand for thin film circuits is also contributing to the growth of this market. Based on type, 8 inch alumina wafers are expected to dominate the global alumina wafers market during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. This can be attributed to their low cost and high efficiency as compared with other types of alumina wafers available in the market.
Product Definition:
Alumina wafers are flat, round discs that are made of alumina (aluminum oxide) and used as a substrate for semiconductor devices. The use of alumina wafers allows semiconductor manufacturers to produce more reliable and higher-performing devices.
8 inch:
8 inch is the name given to a single alumina wafer of thickness ranging from 0.15 to 0.3 mm, which is widely used in semiconductor devices and solar cells owing to its properties such as high electrical conductivity, uniformity and purity along with low dielectric constant.
12 inch:
12 inch is the diameter of a single crystal aluminous wafer. It is also known as “dip” or “seed” and has an important usage in the alumina market.
Application Insights:
The alumina wafer thin film circuits application segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The product offers low thermal resistance, high purity, and chemical stability which makes it suitable for manufacturing various semiconductor components including integrated circuits, capacitors & resistors, and sensors.
Alumina wafers are used in sensor component applications as they offer superior thermal resistance properties along with electrical insulation characteristics. These factors are anticipated to augment market demand over the coming years.
Thin-film photovoltaic cells manufactured using alumina offer higher efficiency than silicon based counterparts as they have a lower bandgap energy level which improves electron flow from conduction band to valence band resulting in increased power generation capabilities of solar cells.
Regional Analysis:
North America was the leading regional market in 2017 and is expected to maintain its position during the forecast period. The region has a well-established semiconductor industry, which is one of the most crucial sectors for technological advancements. Furthermore, increasing investments in R&D by public as well as private players are anticipated to drive product demand over the next eight years.
The Asia Pacific market accounted for a revenue share of more than 30% in 2017 owing to rapid industrialization and developing electronics manufacturing sector mainly driven by China, Japan, South Korea and India. Increasing foreign direct investment (FDI) along with government support are some factors driving regional growth. For instance; In January 2016; Wuhan Iron & Steel Group Co., Ltd., Jilin Province Investment Group Co., Ltd.; Sino Iron & Steel Corporation Limited; Hebei Iron & Steel Corporation Limited signed an agreement worth USD X billion with Saudi Arabia's Al-Ghalbi International Engineering Company (SGIEC).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the electronics and semiconductor industry for alumina wafers as a substrate material.
- Rising demand for alumina wafers in the LED lighting market as a substrate material.
- Growing use of alumina wafers in solar energy applications due to their high light transmittance properties.
- Increasing adoption of alumina wafers in medical devices and implants due to their biocompatibility properties.
