Semiconductor Packaging Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029

The Semiconductor packaging market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.33% over the forecast period, increasing from US$48.966 billion in 2024 to US$69.733 billion by 2029.
Semiconductors are an important component applicable across multiple industries, like automotive, telecommunications, consumer electronics, healthcare, and aerospace, among others. The semiconductor has various properties like integrated circuits, electronic discrete, and transistors. it. Semiconductors are a sensitive component, so they require a protective packaging case before transporting it to various end-users. The semiconductor packaging offers a protective layer, which further helps prevent the semiconductors from dust, scratch, or any other physical or environmental damage.

The demand for semiconductor packaging is expected to grow with the increasing demand for semiconductors in the global market. Semiconductors act as an important component in automobiles in the global market. The semiconductors offer multiple features, such as enabling the entertainment system and internet connectivity options in vehicles. The semiconductors are also embedded into various safety systems of the automobile, such as the ADAS system and emergency braking systems. The global production of automotives in 2023 reached about 93.546 million units, as stated by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA). The organization also stated that about 55.115 million of the total vehicles produced globally, were produced in Asia Pacific region, like China and India. The global automotive production witnessed a significant increase, from about 84.830 million units produced in 2022 to about 80.004 million units produced in 2021. Similarly, introducing various new technologies, like artificial intelligence and autonomous driving, has also pushed the demand for semiconductors in the automotive industry.

The semiconductor packaging market is estimated to grow at a moderate rate, owing to the increasing demand for consumer electronics coupled with growing demand for miniaturization and increasing adoption of emerging technologies such as 5G. Additionally, the rising demand for the Internet of Things (IoT) has also had a positive impact on the semiconductor packaging market. There is a rising demand among consumers for miniaturized electronic devices such as smartwatches and wearables, among others. There is an upsurge in demand for semiconductor packaging as manufacturers are looking for solutions to fit everything in limited space. Hence, the above-listed factors are expected to propel the market for semiconductor packaging in the projected period
