Market Overview:
The global wafer foundry market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for semiconductor devices in automotive, mobile phone, LED light, digital cameras and other applications. In terms of type, the LiTaO3 segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global wafer foundry market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its high thermal stability and low dielectric constant which makes it suitable for use in various semiconductor devices.
Product Definition:
A wafer foundry is a semiconductor foundry that manufactures integrated circuits (ICs) in the form of silicon wafers. ICs are made by fabricating electronic circuits on a silicon substrate.
LiTaO3:
LiTaO3 is a new material, which was firstly developed in 2000. It has been newly redefined and characterized for technical purposes by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) in 2016. The material is expected to be useful as an alternative to Ta2O5 for manufacturing semiconductor devices on account of its superior properties including high thermal conductivity, low density, large surface area along with high electrical resistivity.
Quartz:
Quartz is a mineral, which is made up of silicon and oxygen. It has different forms such as crystalline quartz, fayence, soapstone and amazonite among others. Crystalline quartz has the highest melting point among all other forms of quartz. The reason for this difference in properties between various types of quarts is because they are composed of different chemical constituents such as potassium oxide (K2O) or sodium oxide (Na2O).
Application Insights:
The application segment includes automobile, LED light, digital cameras, industrial and other. The automotive application segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 owing to increasing demand for LiTaO3 wafers from various auto manufacturers such as Ford Motor Company and Daimler AG. Furthermore, growing emphasis on reducing vehicle weight by using lightweight materials such as LiTaO3 is expected to boost industry growth over the forecast period.
The mobile phone application segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rapidly increasing demand for advanced technology smartphones across all major regions of the world including North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. In addition, rapid urbanization coupled with rising income levels has led to a considerable increase in consumer spending on communication devices which also supports market growth over the coming years.
Other applications include digital cameras & image sensors (CCD), LED light & display panels (LCDs), industrial machinery/ equipment etc.
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 mobile phones, laptops, LED lights, etc. Rising disposable income coupled with a large population base in developing economies including China and India is anticipated to fuel the product demand over the next eight years.
The Latin American regional market accounted for a significant share owing to growing investments by prominent foundry players such as Intel Corporation; Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.; TSMC Inc.; UMC; Micron Technology Inc.; Qualcomm Technologies Inc., among others in this region. These companies are focusing on expanding their production capabilities by establishing new plants or joint ventures with local players or foreign investors which will drive industry expansion across this region during the forecast period from 2018 - 2030 timeframe.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for semiconductor devices from consumer electronics and automotive industries
- Proliferation of 3D IC technology and development of advanced packaging technologies
- Growing number of fabless companies and IDMs outsourcing their wafer fabrication needs
- Rising demand for MEMS and sensors
- Emergence of new market segments such as the Internet-of-Things (IoT)
