Semiconductor Device Market Analysis
The semiconductor device market in the consumer industry was valued at USD 83.4 billion in the current year and is expected to register a CAGR of 8.7%, reaching USD 126.9 billion over the forecast period.
- Most consumer electronics, like mobile phones, laptops, game consoles, microwaves, and refrigerators, operate with semiconductors, such as integrated chips, diodes, and transistors. The high demand for these devices is a key factor contributing to the market growth.
- The use of integrated circuits is widespread in consumer electronics with microprocessor control, from cell phones and portable music players to gaming systems, PCs, and other digital devices. An integrated circuit (IC) or chip is an extremely sophisticated device that packs up many electronic components like capacitors, transistors, and resistors into an area of a few square centimeters on a silicon wafer.
- Further, the emergence of trends, such as consumer Internet of Things (IoT), has fueled the demand for the semiconductor devices market in the consumer industry. An ideal example of consumer IoT is the smart home, where electronic equipment, lighting, HVAC systems, and appliances are all controlled and monitored from a central hub. IoT applications cannot work without integrated circuits and sensors, so all IoT devices require semiconductors, which creates a huge growth potential for the market studied.
- Moreover, the explosive growth of smartphones and smart home devices in the markets in recent years has fueled the demand for the semiconductor device market in the consumer industry. The increasing adoption of the fifth-generation (5G) wireless technology for digital devices is also one of the major contributing factors to the rising demand for connected devices and smart products, thereby supporting the market's growth.
- The Russia and Ukraine war negatively impacted the supply chain in the semiconductor Industry. According to SEMI, Ukraine and China supply about 80% of Xenon and krypton gasses. These gasses are highly used in semiconductor manufacturing, and they can be obtained mainly through steel manufacturing and with the help of Air Separation units.
- With the war in place and no dedicated Air Separation Units elsewhere, the lead time for semiconductor manufacturing is increasing, leading to chip shortages across the industries studied.
