Market Trends of Ceramic Substrate Industry
Increasing Demand from the Semiconductor Industry
- Ceramic substrate plays an important role in enabling developments in the semiconductor industry through their essential role in manufacturing.
- Semiconductor manufacturers use ceramic substrates such as alumina, beryllium oxide, and aluminum nitride. These materials are used in the semiconductor industry owing to their properties such as hard and resistant to wear, resistant to strong acid and alkali at high temperatures, good thermal conductivity, extremely high bulk resistivity, very low dielectric constant and loss tangent among others.
- The global semiconductor industry is growing at a healthy rate in recent times, owing to the demand for technologies such as autonomous driving, artificial intelligence, etc.
- According to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), in 2022, the worldwide sales of semiconductors reached to USD 574 billion which was increase by 3.3% compared to 2021 at USD 555.9 billion.
- According to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), In 2022, all geographical regions exhibited double-digit growth in trade of semiconductors. The Americas region has increased by 17.0%, Europe by 12.6%, and Japan by 10.0%. However, The growth of Asia-Pacific has declined by 2.0% in the same year.
- Therefore, the growing semiconductor industry is expected to boost the demand for ceramic substrates incoming years.
