Detailed Research Methodology and Data Validation
Primary Research
Mordor analysts interview OSAT executives, foundry back-end managers, substrate suppliers, and purchasing leads across Asia, North America, and Europe. Conversations validate average selling prices, yield drifts, and the pace at which automotive accounts convert from wire-bond to flip-chip. Follow-up surveys with packaging design engineers clarify the expected share of 2.5D/3D architectures in AI accelerators during the forecast window.
Desk Research
Publicly available tier-one sources form our starting grid. Data from organizations such as SEMI, WSTS, and national customs portals outline production, trade, and capital-spending flows, while JEITA and SIA bulletins reveal demand signals in downstream electronics. Company 10-Ks, investor decks, and patent registries add contextual color on technology migration toward chiplets and hybrid bonding. To fill regional gaps, we access paid repositories (D&B Hoovers for corporate revenue splits and Dow Jones Factiva for deal news). The list above is illustrative, and many additional sources guide the desk phase.
Government incentives, for example, the U.S. CHIPS Act award list, and trade association shipment tallies help us capture fingerprints such as ABF substrate price spikes, fan-out line utilization, and panel-level pilot volumes, providing real-time anchors for the model.
Market-Sizing & Forecasting
