Segment Insights on the Silicon Wafers Market:

The global silicon wafers market is segmented based on size type, application type, end-use type, and region.

Based on size type – The silicon wafers market is segmented into less than 150 mm, 200 mm, and more than 300 mm. Among them, more than 300 mm are expected to remain the largest as well as the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period, primarily attributed to the augmented surface area afforded by larger wafers, facilitating the fabrication of a greater number of individual chips on a single 300 mm wafer when compared to smaller counterparts. These 300 mm silicon wafers play a pivotal role in the manufacture of microelectronic components, encompassing transistors and integrated circuits (ICs).

Based on application type – The market is segmented into DAO (Discrete, Analog, and Optoelectronics & Sensors), logic, and memory. Logic devices are predicted to remain the largest application in the market over the next five years. This is largely attributed to the persistent demand for higher-performance and energy-efficient logic chips, driven by the increasing ubiquity of consumer electronics like smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Additionally, the deployment of 5G technology is expected to reinforce this demand, compelling the development of more powerful and efficient logic chips, and further elevating the need for advanced silicon wafers.

Based on end-use type – The silicon wafers market is segmented into communication, computer, consumer electronics, industrial, automotive, and government. Among them, the computer segment is expected to remain the largest end-use of the market, whereas the communication segment is likely to grow at the fastest pace during the forecast period. As laptops continue to shrink in size, there is a growing demand for increased functionality from a single device, necessitating integrated circuit (IC) chips with a greater number of transistors to accommodate additional features. This is fueling the demand for high-performance Integrated Circuits (ICs) in the market.
