Wafer Level Packaging Market Trends

• 
  

  Growing usage of semiconductor ICs in the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving the market growth

  
  

The main driver of the expansion of the wafer level packaging market is the increasing use of semiconductor ICs in the Internet of Things (IoT). The adoption of 3G/4G/5G telecommunication standards, government incentives to deploy energy-efficient systems and solutions, and advancements in wired and wireless communication technologies are the main factors driving demand for these IoT devices. IoT chipset demand will increase as more IoT applications are developed and added to IoT devices. These IoT devices use chipsets that incorporate Wi-Fi, RF, FOWLP units (MCU), and sensor modules. The demand for thin-profile semiconductor ICs and modules with a reduced footprint is growing rapidly in the semiconductor packaging business as a result of the rapid uptake of mobile and IoT devices. In order to pack IoT chipsets on a smaller footprint, this will increase demand for wafer level packaging technology. IoT device use is increasing, which will fuel market expansion globally over the course of the projection period.

Another key trend driving the expansion of the worldwide wafer level packaging market is the rise in panel-level packaging. The semiconductor business has undergone several developments as a result of the rising demand for low-cost, high-performance goods. Fan-out panel-level packaging is one of the cutting-edge technologies that has assisted in lowering the overall cost of wafer level packaging. This involves shifting the entire packaging procedure to a large-size panel format, which lowers the overall cost of packaging by enabling the packing of more components on the substrate at once. OSAT businesses, IDMs, substrate producers, and fabless businesses all want this technology since it drastically lowers their manufacturing costs. The rising demand for electronics across several industries also makes panel-level packaging a necessity for suppliers to achieve high-volume manufacturing. Thus, driving the wafer level packaging market revenue.
