300 mn Products to Grain
Traction among the Manufacturers
The silicon wafer market can be
segregated on the basis of product as 300 mn, 200 mm, and 150 mm. 300 mn is
expected to grab a major share in the market owing to growing demand for a
large wafer diameter as it enhances the efficiency and overall output. Based on
application, the market is segmented as memory, logic/MPU, and others. Logic/MPU
may emerge as a key application segment in the market owing to the extensive
usage of silicon wafers in the manufacturing of microchips and chips, employed
in various electronic devices.
Asia Pacific to Emerge as a
Frontrunner in the Silicon Wafer Market
Asia Pacific is expected to grab
a major market share in the coming years owing to growing automotive industry
and rising disposable income. Government funding and rise in the foreign
investments in the automotive sector are resulting in the regional market
growth. In addition, booming electronic sector in China may bode well for the
silicon wafer market growth in Asia Pacific.
North America is expected to witness
moderate growth because of growing solar cell market in the region. On the
other hand, rising usage of silicon wafers in the automotive and electronics
industries is helping the global market to develop in Europe.
Key Players Having a Strong
Foothold in the Silicon Wafer Market
Some of the key players operating
in the global Silicon Wafer market are Zhonghuan Huanou (CN), Sumco (JP), MCL
(CN), Siltronic (DE), LG Siltron (KR), Shenhe FTS (CN), SAS
(TW), SST (CN), JRH (CN), Okmetic (FI), GRITEK (CN), MEMC (US),
Wafer Works (TW), Simgui (CN), and Shin Etsu (JP).
High Demand from the Electronics
Sector to Act as a Key Driver
Extensive usage of silicon wafers
in the electronic industry due to their associated benefits such as high
reliability, low weight, low power consumption, flexibility, and small size is
one of the key factors driving the global market. Increasing demand for silicon
wafers to boost the performance and smooth operation of the vehicle is also
acting as a key driver in the silicon wafer market.
Moreover, since past few years, demand for the solar energy has witnessed a surge. This scenarios is expected to significantly contribute to the growth of the solar panel and solar cells. Silicon wafers are widely used in the manufacturing of the solar cells, thereby driving the demand for the product. Technological developments and advancements in the silicon wafers technology are having a positive impact on the silicon wafer market growth.
