3D IC Market

The global 3D IC market size is expected to reach $51.81 billion by 2030 from $9.18 billion in 2020, growing at a CAGR of 20% from 2021 to 2030. 

The Automotive sector impacted negatively, due to COVID-19 Pandemic.

3D ICs are the integrated circuits that incorporate two or more layers of circuitry in a single package. The layers are interconnected vertically as well as horizontally.  These multi-layer chips are usually created by manufacturing separate layers and then stacking and thinning them. 

In semiconductors, a trend to vertically stack integrated circuits (ICs) or circuitry has emerged as a viable solution for meeting electronic device requirements such as higher performance, increased functionality, lower power consumption, and a smaller footprint. The various methods and processes used to achieve this are called 3D integration technologies.   

Semiconductor technology is expected to increase the value of a semiconductor product by adding functionality in its operation, increasing and maintaining the performance while lowering the overall cost of packaging. The adoption of semiconductor packaging is also creating demand for high-performance chips for various consumer electronic products. This augments the demand for 3D IC chips used in smartphones and other mobile devices.

The prominent factors that drive the 3D IC market growth include high adoption of electronics devices, rise in demand for internet of things (IoT) technology, and technological advancement in 3D packaging technology. The high rise in 3D packaging technology has fueled the growth of the 3D IC market revenue. For instance, in 3D TSV technology, the vertical connections are made inside chips as compared to horizontal connections in 2D technology, which reduces the interconnect length and overall size of the chip. The technological advantages of 3D packaging drive its demand in high-end applications such as chips used in computers, DRAMS, NAND, Imaging & optoelectronics, memory, and others. High investment and collaboration by leading outsourced semiconductor assembly & test (OSAT) companies in R&D is anticipated to create growth opportunities for 3D IC market. However, high initial capital investment and high cost of materials is hampering the market growth. Moreover, high adoption of fan-out wafer level packaging technology is expected to provide lucrative opportunities to the market growth.

The global 3D IC market share is segmented on the basis of type, component, application, end user, and region. Based on type, the market is divided into stacked 3D and monolithic 3D. On the basis of component, it is analyzed across through-silicon via (TSV), through glass via (TGV), and silicon interposer. Based on application, the market is categorized into logic, imaging & optoelectronics, memory, MEMS/sensors, LED, and others. By end user, the market is studied across consumer electronics, telecommunication, automotive, military & aerospace, medical device, industrial, and others. By region, the 3D IC market trends are analyzed across the North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Covid 19 Impact Analysis

• The impact of COVID-19 on the manufacturing industry has significantly affected the global economy. Electronic components, such as LED chips and wafers, ICs, and other semiconductor devices, are mostly imported from China. Attributed to the shutdown of manufacturing units, the prices of semiconductor components have increased, owing to shortage of supplies. 
• COVID-19 has a large impact on both consumer and the economy. Electronics manufacturing hubs have been temporarily shut down to limit the COVID-19 spread among individuals. This has majorly affected the supply chain of the 3D IC market by creating shortages of materials, components, and finished goods. Lack of business continuity has ensured significant negative impacts on revenue and shareholder returns, which is expected to create financial disruptions in the 3D IC industry.
• However, slowdown in productions by OEMs and reduction in demand for mobile phones and other consumer electronics has slightly pulled down the 3D IC market growth. In addition, reduction in various capital budgets and delay in planned projects in various end-use industries have hampered the global economy.
