Market Overview:
The global single crystal germanium market is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for solar grade and infrared grade single crystal germanium in various applications such as semiconductor devices, solar batteries, infrared imagers, and others. Additionally, the growing demand for detector grade single crystal germanium in optoelectronics and photonics applications is also contributing to the growth of this market. However, fluctuations in prices of raw materials used for manufacturing single crystal germanium may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period. On basis of type, solar grade accounted for a major share of the global single crystal germanium market in 2017. This can be attributed to its high demand from various end-use industries such as semiconductor devices and solar batteries.
Product Definition:
A single crystal of germanium is a small, perfect, and rare example of the material. It has a large number of applications in electronics and optoelectronics because it can be used to make very pure semiconductor materials.
Solar Grade:
Single crystal germanium is a material with unique properties, such as high thermal conductivity and heat capacity. It has the highest melting point of any solid material, which makes it useful for producing components in solar systems. S-grade SG is used in space programs while K-grade SG is used on earth for various applications including semiconductors and optoelectronics among others.
Infrared Grade:
Single crystal germanium is a material with one face covered with hexagonal grid and the other face is covered with vertical columns of silica. Single crystal germanium has applications in telecommunication, security systems, medical equipment and consumer electronics. Infrared grade single crystal germanium has applications in infrared radiation filter, window films & coatings for commercial & residential buildings and automobile parts as it can be easily cut to size and shape according to customer requirements.
Application Insights:
The single crystal germanium is used in the manufacturing of semiconductors, infrared imagers, solar batteries and other devices. The demand for SAG is highest for its application in the manufacture of infrared imagers as it has superior properties such as low thermal conductivity and high electrical resistivity which makes it suitable to be used in imaging sensors.
Semiconductor device was the largest application segment accounting for a share of over 80% globally in 2017 owing to its rising use across various applications such as mobile phones, laptops among others. Single crystal germanium is also used across photovoltaic cells which are utilized to generate electricity from sunlight. These solar batteries are lightweight compared to conventional lead-acid batteries making them highly portable and ideal for off-grid power supply applications among others.
Regional Analysis:
North America was the second-largest regional market in 2017. The region is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period owing to high demand from various end-use industries, such as semiconductors and military & defense. In addition, rising R&D activities by universities and research institutes for developing advanced Germanium products are projected to fuel the industry growth in North America region.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to be one of the fastest growing regions during the forecast years on account of rapid industrialization coupled with increasing foreign investments in China and India. Moreover, government initiatives encouraging domestic production are likely to benefit Asia Pacific Single Crystal Germanium (ASCG) market growth over coming years. For instance, ‘Make in India’ initiative taken by Indian prime minister Narendra Modi aims at manufacturing products through private sector rather than relying on imports which would ultimately boost product demand across several applications including solar batteries and solar cells among others).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for single crystal Germanium from the optoelectronics and semiconductor industries on account of its unique physical and electrical properties.
- Rising demand for single crystal Germanium in solar energy applications due to its high efficiency in converting sunlight into electricity.
- Growing use of single crystal Germanium in fiber optic communication systems owing to its low optical loss and high transmission speed.
- Increasing adoption of single crystal Germanium as a material for manufacturing infrared detectors and sensors due to its superior thermal characteristics.
