The Europe silicon EPI wafer market is expected to grow from US$ 546.83 million in 2022 to US$ 850.90 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2022 to 2028.
The incorporation of cutting-edge optical, wireless, computer, and power electronic systems into new and existing vehicle platforms benefits consumers with better safety, comfort, and fuel efficiency. Compared to their conventional silicon equivalents, wide-band-gap semiconductors, such as silicon carbide (SiC), offer unique physical features that enable great power-handling capabilities, efficient switching, and lower losses in power devices. In the conditions where electrical energy is being used at a high scale, wide-band-gap semiconductors significantly contribute to the reduction in CO2 emissions. IQE provides dependable, cutting-edge epitaxial wafer and substrate materials to automotive semiconductor manufacturers. The basic electronics of light detection & ranging (LiDAR) systems for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and upcoming driverless cars are made possible by the cutting-edge GaInAsN VCSEL and Avalanche Photodiodes (APD) epitaxial wafers. The GaN epitaxial wafer materials offered by IQE are ideally positioned to develop communication systems for connected cars, and power-efficient electronics that extend the driving range of electric vehicles (EVs) and boost the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines (ICEs). With these features, the use of silicon EPI wafers is increasing in the automotive sector.
Vendors in the Europe silicon EPI wafers market can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets by providing products with innovative features. This factor is likely to drive the market growth at a notable CAGR during the forecast period.
