ESOMAR-certified market research company Future Market Insights’ (FMI) recently published semiconductor wafers market study projects a largely positive growth trajectory for the 2020-2030 assessment period. The study divulges key dynamics responsible for shaping the future growth prospects of the market.
Deepening 5G technology penetration is amongst the primary growth drivers, as business houses and corporates look towards diversifying their future operations. By 2024, 5G networks shall cover 2/5th of the globe, handing a quarter of all mobile traffic data. Thus, production of wafers to manufacture ICs for 5G devices is rising.
Manufacturers are increasingly preferring gallium nitride semiconductor chips over the conventional silicon based chips, as the latter tends to have less temperature tolerance.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The novel coronavirus pandemic has ushered in multiple impacts across the global semiconductor wafers market. Stringent government-mandated lockdowns have contracted production of automotives, a key application area for semiconductor wafers.
A 16% decline was experienced in the global automotive industry since the past few months, thereby restraining sales of semiconductor wafers for multiple purposes such as infotainment systems, collision detection and navigation.
Simultaneously, surging sales of consumer electronic products is keeping the semiconductor wafers market demand afloat, particularly across emerging economies. With mandatory lockdowns imposed, corporate entities, educational institutions and entertainment houses are encouraging virtual interactions, thus upscaling demand for smartphones, tablets and laptops.
Taking the aforementioned trends into account, the semiconductor wafers market is likely to experience a moderate dip in the short-run, after which growth is expected to rebound on the back of easing restrictions.
