Taiwan has become the world's largest consumer market for semiconductor materials for ten consecutive years
Semiconductor materials are important materials for making transistors, integrated circuits, power electronic devices, and optoelectronic devices. The semiconductor materials market can be divided into front-end wafer manufacturing materials and back-end packaging materials markets.
Affected by the downturn in the global semiconductor industry in 2019, the global semiconductor materials market has declined slightly. At the same time, Taiwan has become the world's largest semiconductor materials consumer market for ten consecutive years with its huge production capacity in wafer manufacturing and packaging.
1. The global semiconductor industry market size exceeded US$200 billion in H1 2020 < p align="justify">
According to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) data, the size of the global semiconductor market showed a fluctuating trend from 2011 to 2020. After maintaining rapid growth for two consecutive years from 2017 to 2018, affected by Sino-US trade issues and the weakness of the downstream consumer electronics market, the global semiconductor market size in 2019 was US$412.307 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 12.05%, mainly reflected in the decline of the memory chip market.
As of the first half of 2020, the global semiconductor industry market size was US$208.16 billion, a year-on-year increase of 5.98%. The epidemic has not had a significant impact on the semiconductor industry. Only the European semiconductor market has declined for six consecutive months compared with the same period last year.
Note: The market size growth rate in 2013 and 2014 was 4.81% and 9.9%.
2. The market size of the global semiconductor materials industry shows a fluctuating trend
According to data released by the International Semiconductor Industry Association (SEMI), the market size of the global semiconductor materials industry showed a fluctuating trend from 2011 to 2019; comparing the changes in the market sizes of semiconductors and semiconductor materials, the fluctuation trends are basically the same. Affected by the overall environment of the semiconductor industry, in 2019, the global semiconductor materials industry market size was approximately US$52.14 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 1.12%.
3. The scale of global semiconductor materials accounts for a small proportion of the overall scale of the semiconductor industry
From the perspective of each link in the industry chain, semiconductor materials are important materials for the production of integrated circuits, optoelectronic devices, etc., and are mainly used in IC manufacturing and IC packaging. Judging from the proportion of the global semiconductor materials market to the global semiconductor market, the overall trend was downward from 2011 to 2019, with the proportion being less than 15% in the past seven years. Semiconductor materials are one of the important components of the semiconductor industry, but their overall contribution is less than 50%.
4. The proportion of front-end manufacturing materials has increased
According to the semiconductor manufacturing process, it is divided into IC design, IC manufacturing, and IC packaging. The corresponding semiconductors can be subdivided into front-end manufacturing (wafer manufacturing) materials and back-end packaging materials. According to SEMI statistics, from 2011 to 2019, wafer manufacturing materials have shown an overall upward trend, while packaging materials have shown an overall downward trend;
5. Taiwan is the world’s largest consumer market for semiconductor materials
According to SEMI statistics, in 2019, the semiconductor materials market size in Taiwan, China, was approximately US$11.34 billion, accounting for approximately 21.75%; South Korea was US$8.83 billion, accounting for approximately 16.94%; mainland China was US$8.69 billion, accounting for approximately 16.67%; followed by Japan, North America and Europe. With its huge wafer foundry and advanced packaging foundation, Taiwan, China, will become the world's largest consumer of semiconductor materials for the tenth consecutive year in 2019.
