The semiconductor market size reached a value of approximately USD 625.05 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.7%% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a value of around USD 1281.58 billion by 2032. As per the analysis by Expert Market Research, the market is driven by the growing demand for consumer electronics.
Semiconductors form the foundation of modern technologies and are used in billions of devices worldwide. They are used in communication and computing in devices like digital cameras, radios, scanners and computers/laptops, diodes, and RF transmitters among many others. In healthcare, they are used in hearing aids, MRIs, and pacemakers, while in transportation they are used in mapping and navigation systems.
The main driver of the semiconductor market growth is the widespread use of semiconductors in a variety of end-use applications, including data processing, networking and communications, automotive, industrial equipment, and electronics. The market is also expanding due to the increasing global usage of different consumer devices and the increasing penetration of digital technology. The demand for semiconductors is predicted to rise globally due to the world's rising urbanization and industrialization as well as government investments in smart cities.
The semiconductor industry has a lot of potential because of autonomous vehicles. For these vehicles to function, advanced sensors, CPUs, and other semiconductor parts are needed. The development of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) connectivity, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Electric Vehicles (EVs), and in-car infotainment systems all contribute to the increased demand for semiconductors.
In June 2024, Black Semiconductor, a startup working in the semiconductor space raised EUR 254.4 million in public and private funding in a bid to enhance research and development through the construction of a production facility in Aachen, Germany. Pall Corporation, recently, opened a new USD 150 million facility to manufacture semiconductor chips. The aim is to produce advanced node semiconductor chips in a bid to meet rising demand within the semiconductor industry. Also, in January 2024, South Korea invested USD 470 billion in a bid to build the largest semiconductor cluster in the world in Gyeonggi Province over a span of 23 years. Through this, South Korea aims to increase its self-sufficiency in essential materials, equipment and parts which are required to produce chips and increase production by 50% by 2030.
