Increase R&D investment
Semiconductor businesses strive for innovation across all product segments because faster, more powerful chips and cutting-edge equipment help generate higher sales across all value chain segments. Companies with the most unique technologies and products are likely to become global champions.
In a cross-industry analysis, the semiconductor industry came in second only to pharmaceuticals and biotechnology in terms of R&D spending as a percentage of sales. India declared an approximately 10-billion-dollar production-linked incentive plan in December 2021 to promote semiconductors & exhibit products in the nation.
Increase in sales of semiconductors
As per the Semiconductor Industry Association, semiconductor sales reached a record $555.9 billion in 2021, a 26.2% increase, with revenues in China attaining $192.5 billion. As consumer product demand grew, semiconductor manufacturing lines switched from producing lower-cost car chips to developing more pricey microprocessors and other gadgets from current orders.
The widespread use of semiconductors in a broad range of end-use applications like electronics, industrial equipment, automotive, networking and communications, and data processing is a major factor driving global semiconductors sales.
Semiconductor shortage
Semiconductor fabs were already nearing full capacity prior to the pandemic because they tried to avoid investing in new capital equipment beyond what is required to meet customer demand. In order to secure supply, several players increased their semiconductor stock levels in response to uncertain trade dynamics.
The pandemic, which prompted purchases of computers and other remote-working devices, pushed demand even higher. Hence, this leads to higher demand and less production which leads to a shortage in the supply of semiconductors.
A robust talent pipeline
As semiconductors are becoming more important for product differentiation, some electronics manufacturers, automotive OEMs, and hyper scalers are bringing chip design in-house to boost customization and eliminate bottlenecks. These moves make competition for already scarce semiconductor talent even more difficult than usual.
Simultaneously, chip design becomes more complex as semiconductor functions expand, necessitating more labor. The labor increase is especially pronounced for five-nm nodes, which are the most difficult to design and require the most days of work.
Wireless Communication
The wireless communication sector is anticipated to expand at the fastest CAGR from 2024 to 2034. Rapid developments in wireless communication technology are driving up demand for wireless communication semiconductors. Furthermore, some of the leading drivers for the semiconductors for the wireless communications industry include factors such as increasing IoT trends, cost and rigidity advantages provided by traditional semiconductors, as well as increasing adoption of compact consumer electronic devices, etc.
The supply of semiconductors used for wireless communication services experienced the steepest decline in 2020, with a drop of 11%-26%. Mobile phone deals, the basic driver in this sector, have previously been linked with GDP and are thus expected to fall sharply. The preferences of consumers to shift toward less costly phones also had an adverse impact on semiconductor demand. Furthermore, post-pandemic the sale of wireless communication expanded due to the introduction of the latest technologies.
Wired Communication
The wired communication division is projected to grow at a remarkable rate with a CAGR. Supply for semiconductors that are used in wired communication raised by 8%-11% in 2020 due to a number of COVID-19-related factors, such as increased security for current enterprise services and infrastructure as more employees are working from home, an approximately 50% rise in fixed broadband usage was observed in some nations, which resulting in higher purchases of DSL/ cable as well as wireless routers.
Furthermore, an approximately 40% rise in online streaming through many broadband networks is also expected to raise the demand for wired communication semiconductors.
Consumer Electronics
Based on the application, the consumer electronic sector is anticipated to expand the highest in 2023. Semiconductor firms manufacture components for a wide range of consumer electronics devices, such as televisions, watches, and video games.
Since the majority of devices in this group are purchased with discretionary funds, demand is strongly linked with GDP. Consumer electronics are performing better than wireless communication due to a rise in sales of audio equipment, gaming devices, as well as kitchen appliances.
Healthcare Equipment
On the other hand, the healthcare equipment sector is anticipated to grow at the fastest pace between 2024 and 2034. Factors such as the rising use of remote patient monitoring devices, advancements in diagnostic and treatment modalities, and the high prevalence of noncommunicable diseases are also predicted to fuel semiconductor growth in the sector. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, telehealth usage skyrocketed as consumers and providers were looking for safe ways to access and deliver healthcare.
Remote patient monitoring is one area of telehealth that has grown in popularity. Remote patient monitoring aided healthcare during the pandemic by allowing patients to be monitored and treated from the comfort of their own homes. Furthermore, remote patient monitoring cut the amount of time patients needed to spend in situations where the COVID-19 virus was transmitted significantly.
As a result, demand for remote patient monitoring systems increased significantly, creating major demand for semiconductor chips used in such systems. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices, BP monitors, pacemakers, blood/chemistry gas analyzers, and bedside patient monitors are all examples of semiconductor-enabled equipment that is changing people's lives today.
Chip Intellectual Property (IP) Cores
On the basis of end-user, the chip intellectual property cores are projected to be the fastest-growing segment. A chip's design is held by a specific company. Some businesses license chip designs for widespread use as software basic components known as IP Cores. Over 150 firms sell IP Cores chips. For instance, Apple licenses ARM IP Cores as a core component of microprocessors in computers and iPhones.
Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Tools
Furthermore, electronic design automation tools are predicted to grow at a remarkable CAGR. Engineers use specific Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software to develop chips. The sector is led by three US suppliers, which include Cadence, Synopsys, and Mentor. It utilizes a large technical team using EDA tools for 2-3 years for developing complicated logic chips such as a microprocessor used within a server, phone, or computer.
Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the semiconductor chip ecosystem market from 2024 to 2034. Semiconductor producers in developing markets, particularly in Asian economies such as China, Taiwan, and South Korea, are profiting from cyclical pricing in the face of a global chip shortage. As per a Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) study, East Asia (Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan) and mainland China account for nearly 75% of global installed capacity.
The semiconductor production equipment industry is expanding rapidly due to increased demand for semiconductor applications in consumer goods, automotive, electronic products such as wireless storage devices, and industrial.
Followed by Asia Pacific, North America is anticipated to expand at a remarkable rate. Due to the growing demand for connected devices, the United States is predicted to dominate the market. By incorporating devices with individual technologies, the use of connected devices improves the efficiency of business operations. This allows for the streamlining of processes, which saves money and time while increasing a company's ability to accomplish objectives in a more efficient manner.
