Semiconductor Market Size Set to Grow by $112.8 billion from 2024-2028
July 4, 2024 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
The global semiconductor market size is estimated to grow by USD 112.8 billion from 2024-2028, according to Technavio. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.42% during the forecast period. Growing adoption of IoT devices is driving market growth, with a trend towards increasing adoption of sustainability manufacturing. However, supply-demand gap in semiconductor industry poses a challenge. Key market players include Analog Devices Inc., Broadcom Inc., Infineon Technologies AG, Intel Corp., MediaTek Inc., Microchip Technology Inc., Micron Technology Inc., NVIDIA Corp., NXP Semiconductors NV, ON Semiconductor Corp., Qualcomm Inc., Renesas Electronics Corp., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Skyworks Solutions Inc., Sony Group Corp., STMicroelectronics International N.V., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Texas Instruments Inc., Toshiba Corp., and Wolfspeed Inc..
Key Market Trends Fueling Growth
The semiconductor industry requires significant energy and water resources, with a single fabrication plant consuming approximately 1 terawatt-hour of energy annually and two-to-four million gallons of ultra-pure water daily. The increasing demand for semiconductors, driven by emerging technologies like 5G, AI, and IoT, necessitates production growth. Industry leaders, such as TSMC and Intel, are addressing sustainability concerns through water recycling, diverse water sources, and pollution prevention. By 2030, Intel aims to conserve 60 billion gallons of water and 4 billion kWh of energy, while using 100% renewable energy. Vendors' sustainability efforts enhance their brand image, contributing to the global semiconductor market's growth.
The semiconductor market is experiencing significant growth with the increasing adoption of technology in various industries. The demand for advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Internet of Things (IoT) is driving the market. The automotive industry is also a major contributor, with the integration of semiconductors in electric vehicles and autonomous driving systems. The market is competitive with players like Powerexpress, Mosfet, and Discreteset producing and supplying semiconductors. The trend towards miniaturization and higher performance is leading to the development of new technologies like 5G and SUPPLY-chain management is crucial for companies to meet the growing demand. The semiconductor market is expected to continue its upward trajectory in the coming years.
Market Challenges
The semiconductor industry faces challenges due to high demand for chips in sectors like IoT, AI, data centers, and smart technologies. This demand exceeds supply, causing price increases and longer lead times for manufacturers. Transitions to advanced manufacturing nodes bring production challenges and yield issues, widening the supply-demand gap. These factors may impact the semiconductor market's growth during the forecast period.
The semiconductor market faces several challenges in the present scenario. The increasing complexity of semiconductor designs calls for advanced manufacturing processes and technologies. The cost of research and development is high, and the competition is intense. The demand for smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient chips is driving innovation. However, the market is also affected by economic and geopolitical factors, such as trade policies and supply chain disruptions. The semiconductor industry must adapt to these challenges to remain competitive and meet the evolving needs of consumers and businesses. The use of automation and digitalization can help improve efficiency and reduce costs. Collaboration and partnerships can also help share risks and resources. The semiconductor market is dynamic and requires continuous innovation and investment to stay ahead.
