Posted by Akash Sangshetti on January 5th, 2021

Overview

The market for wafer fabrication 2020 can expect to reach a valuation of USD 62 Billion by 2025-end, asserts Market Research Future (MRFR). Additionally, the market is likely to procure a growth rate of 4% during the forecast period, which is between 2019 and 2025.

Primary Boosters and Main Deterrents

With COVID-19’s growing menace worldwide, the semiconductor industry has been severely impacted, wherein various manufacturing facilities have been closed down and the production has taken a significant hit. This has led to drastic disruption of the ecosystem, in line with numerous supply chain players setting up their production facilities out of China in order to curb their over dependency on the country. Lockdowns in the wake of the pandemic has affected manufacturing and has also hauled the demand for semiconductor devices.

That said, the Wafer Fabrication Market is presumed to do well in the years ahead, on account of the thriving consumer electronics industry, along with frequent technological innovations in the telecom sector. The semiconductor industry is also presumed to be quite resilient in the face of unexpected event, given the continuous technological advancements and intense efforts on the part of the renowned players to compensate for the revenue loss. The rapid advancements in network circulation have boosted the manufacturing of smartphones as well as other electronic devices that are extensively deployed in network and telecommunication applications; leading to more demand for fabrication and electronic components process.

The wafer fabrication market also benefits from the escalating demand for silicon wafers, and the surge in equipment footprint. Advancements in wafer technologies for denser packaging of semiconductor devices like transistors and MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) can emerge as lucrative opportunities for the industry contenders in the following years.
