Market Overview:
The global wafer expander market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for semiconductor devices and rising investments in the semiconductor industry. The manual wafer expander segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period, owing to its low cost and easy operability. However, with technological advancements, semi-automatic and fully-automatic wafer expanders are gaining popularity among end users due to their high efficiency and accuracy levels. In terms of application, 6 inch wafers are expected to account for a major share of the global market during the forecast period as they are used in a wide range of applications such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, digital cameras etc.
Product Definition:
A wafer expander is a device used to increase the size of a semiconductor wafer. The importance of wafer expanders is that they allow manufacturers to produce larger wafers, which results in increased production yields and lower costs per chip.
Munual Wafer Expander:
Munual Wafer Expander is a device used in integrated circuits manufacturing to increase the capacity of wafers. It consists of a series of rollers that are fixed at both ends and can be moved between two stations. As the wafers pass between these rollers, they are exposed to different temperatures which cause them to expand or contract causing registration errors if not handled with care.
Semi Automatic Wafer Expander:
Semi-automatic wafer expander is a device used to increase the capacity of semiconductor chips. It consists of an upper stage and a lower stage that are linked by a flexible hose. The upper stage has numerous small rubber-coated steel balls, which can be moved into and out of the way for allowing different size wafers to be inserted in it.
Application Insights:
6 inch wafer was the largest application segment in 2017 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for semiconductors from various end-use industries such as telecommunication, consumer electronics, and data storage among others. Furthermore, growing demand for high-density chips by emerging applications such as smartphones is expected to drive the segment further.
8 inch wafer was the second largest application segment in 2017 owing to increased use of 8 inch chips in mobile phones and other electronic devices which require higher performance than conventional 6 inches chips do. Expanders are used with multiple substrates (wafers) simultaneously which increases production capacity thereby driving market growth over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific region dominated the global wafer expander market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to increasing investments by various companies for manufacturing high-end electronic products at low costs. Furthermore, rising demand for smartphones and other mobile devices has led to an increase in the production of chips across Asia Pacific thus driving growth.
The Latin American regional market is also anticipated to witness significant growth over the next eight years owing to technological advancements such as automation, robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) among others that are expected to drive industry expansion across this region during the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for semiconductor devices in consumer electronics and telecommunications sectors
- Rising number of wafer fabrication plants across the globe
- Growing trend of miniaturization in electronic devices
- Proliferation of 3D IC technology
- Increasing adoption of wafer level packaging
