Fan Out Packaging Market Size

Fan Out Packaging Market Analysis

The Fan Out Packaging Market size is estimated at USD 2.94 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 6.30 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 16.5% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The expansion of this market is being driven by technological advancements in semiconductor-based technologies and rapidly expanding demand in various sectors.

• Fan-out wafer level packaging (FOWLP) finds its increased application in footprint-sensitive devices such as smartphones due to the requirement of high-performing, energy-efficient thin- and small-form-factor packages. Further, on average, five to seven wafer-level packages (especially fan-out) can be found in modern smartphones, and the numbers are expected to increase in the future. This is because they are gradually replacing the more traditional package-on-package (PoP) memory-on-logic solutions.
• Moreover, the increasing application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in various fields has increased the installation of high-performance computing in the market. UHD fan-out technology is expected to be applied to the cloud, 5G, autonomous cars, and AI chips and will lead the packaging trend during the forecast period.
• South Korea's semiconductor industry is continuing to put in efforts to improve and make 3D TSV (Through-silicon via), packaging and FoWLP (Fan-out Wafer-Level Packaging), and FoPLP (Fan-out Panel-Level Packaging) technologies more effective to raise the performance of semiconductors and the degree of integration.
• In December 2021, Nepes Laweh corporation announced the successful production of the world's first 600 mm x 600 mm large Panel Level Packaging (PLP) using Deca's M-Series fan-out technologies. The Fan-out-Panel Level Packaging (FOPLP) line passed customer certification in the third quarter, established a consistent yield, and commenced full-scale mass production, according to the business.
• Because South Korean companies depended on foreign companies for these systems in the past, KOSTEK is expecting a huge import substitution effect in the future. Its temporary wafer bonder and debonding techniques can be used during a fan-out packaging process.
• With the outbreak of COVID-19, the semiconductor packaging market witnessed a decline in growth due to restrictions on the movement of goods and severe disruptions in the semiconductor supply chain. In Q1 2020, COVID-19 caused low inventory levels for clients of semiconductor vendors and distribution channels. The market is expected to witness a long-term impact due to the coronavirus outbreak.
