Market Growth Factors

The global semiconductor market is booming, driven by the rising demand for cutting-edge consumer electronics like smartphones, tablets, and wearables that crave faster, more efficient, and feature-packed capabilities. The surge in 5G technology and the rise of IoT devices are pushing semiconductor usage to new heights. This trend goes hand in hand with the growing investments in data centers and cloud infrastructure, which rely on high-performance semiconductors to meet their connectivity and processing demands. 

Another major factor fueling this growth is the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). In 2023, there are over 40 million electric cars on the roads, a significant jump from 26 million in 2022. This means that semiconductors that manage power distribution, battery performance, and overall vehicle efficiency are becoming increasingly essential. Companies like indie Semiconductor, Inc. are stepping up by introducing high-performance video converters that enhance in-cabin connectivity, helping automotive Tier 1 integrators provide top-notch experiences.

On the research and development front, investments are skyrocketing, focusing on new materials, innovative chip designs, and advanced production technologies. For instance, Samsung opened a semiconductor R&D facility in Bengaluru, India, in 2024, while Foxconn is planning to invest USD 50 million in a joint venture with HCL to set up OSAT facilities. Moreover, there's a growing emphasis on local semiconductor manufacturing to reduce reliance on imports, as evidenced by India's approval of several manufacturing units in collaboration with Tata Group to bolster domestic production and strengthen supply chain resilience.
