The global LTCC And HTCC market size is expected to reach USD 3.9 billion by 2028. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2021 to 2028. The market growth is attributable to rising investments in wireless communication technology along with increasing penetration of automotive electronics in vehicles. In co-fired ceramic devices, the ceramic support structure and any resistive, conductive, and dielectric materials are fired in a kiln. Typical devices include capacitors, resistors, inductors, transformers, and hybrid circuits. Cofired ceramic devices are also used for multi-layer packaging in the electronics industry, such as in military electronics, Micro Electromechanical Systems (MEMS), microprocessors, and RF applications.
Co-firing can be divided into Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics (LTCC) and High Temperature Co-Fired Ceramics (HTCC) applications. In LTCC, the sintering temperature is below 900°C. This permits the co-firing with highly conductive materials (silver, copper, and gold). For HTCC, the sintering temperature is higher, at around 1,600°C. HTCC components generally consist of multilayers of alumina or zirconia with platinum, tungsten, and moly manganese metallization. Based on application, telecommunication is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the market owing to rising digitalization, expansion of 5G network, and booming e-commerce platform, which enables the use of wireless technologies and equipment within the telecommunication industry.
Growing trend of adopting online channels in daily life has fueled the demand for telecommunication products over the forecast period. Furthermore, growing investments in the aerospace and defense industry are proving to be fruitful for the growth of the market as LTCC substrates are extensively used in various aircraft and fighter jets. For instance, in January 2021, the Indian Air Force announced its plans to acquire 114 combat aircraft that would cost more than INR 1.3 lakh crore (~USD 173.1 million). Such investments are expected to increase the production of aircraft and in turn, augment the market growth.
Region-wise, Asia Pacific is anticipated to register the fastest growth rate over the forecast period. The region is a global manufacturing hub for electronics owing to the presence of several manufacturers of electronic devices and systems, including top players, as well as small- and medium-sized enterprises. The governments of different economies of the region focus on increasing foreign investments in their respective electronics industry, which in turn is expected to benefit market growth. The market is highly competitive in nature owing to the presence of numerous small and large players. Majority of the key players are mainly established in Japan. Key players are adopting strategies such as capacity expansions and investments in R&D activities to gain a higher share in the market.
