Global Silicon Wafers Market Is Expected To Grow At Compound Annual Growth Rate Of 8.5%

Feb 2, 2017

The global market for Silicon Wafers is majorly driven by factors such growing electronic industry, increasing demand in Asia-pacific

Pune, India - February 2, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

Market Highlights
Silicon wafer provides the data processing capabilities and are majorly used in integrated circuits. The Silicon Wafers Market is segmented into 150mm, 200mm, 300mm, and 450mm on the basis of size of the silicon wafers. Presently, 300mm diameter wafers are widely used by the semiconductor industry. It is also expected that over the next couple of years, the market will show some progress towards the 450mm diameter wafers. But major manufacturers present in the market are restraining to invest in the new technology. The main reason behind it is high manufacturing costs of semiconductor processing tools. In spite of the above challenges, major companies in the market are still working on 450mm wafers. Due to high cost of manufacturing process of the 450mm will restrict the small companies to implement this technology. In 2015, the 300mm silicon wafers segment is dominating the market and accounting for about 60-65% of the market revenue due to high demand in the solar industry.

Key Players
