Market Growth Factors
The rising demand for advanced consumer electronics is a major growth driver, with consumers increasingly seeking faster and more efficient devices such as smartphones, tablets, and wearable technology. The growth of emerging technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and augmented/virtual reality is also amplifying semiconductor demand. The transition towards electric vehicles and autonomous driving technologies significantly fuels semiconductor consumption, as chips manage power distribution, battery performance, and vehicle efficiency. For example, the global electric car count reached over 40 million in 2023, up from 26 million in 2022, underscoring the expanding market.
Investments in semiconductor research and development (R&D) are intensifying to meet industry needs for more efficient and powerful chips. Notable developments include Samsung inaugurating a semiconductor R&D facility in Bengaluru in early 2024, and Foxconn's plan to invest USD 50 million in India for semiconductor manufacturing. Such investments accelerate innovations in chip design and production technologies, enabling market players to satisfy evolving demands across automotive, consumer, and telecom sectors.
The increasing emphasis on local semiconductor manufacturing is a key trend focused on reducing import reliance and ensuring supply chain stability. Governments actively support this shift, exemplified by India's approval of three new semiconductor manufacturing units in partnership with Tata Group. Strategies enhancing domestic production strengthen technological sovereignty, boost industrial competitiveness, and create high-tech employment opportunities, contributing to robust market growth globally.
