Global FinFET Technology Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global FinFET technology market

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global FinFET technology market will grow steadily at a CAGR of around 42% by 2021. This market research analysis identifies the rise in strategic collaborations and M&A activities as one of the primary growth factors for this market. Strategic collaborations and M&As result in the emergence of new technologies and enables the development of innovative products. The acquisition of Applied Micro Circuits, a leader in PAM4 solutions by MACOM Technology and the extension of the strategic foundry collaboration of Qualcomm and Samsung for manufacturing Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 835 mobile processor with Samsung’s 10nm FinFET process technology, are some of the recent strategic collaborations witnessed in this marketspace.

Owing to the presence of some of the leading fabless semiconductor companies such as Intel, Micron Technology, Texas Instruments, and Fairchild Semiconductor, the Americas was the major revenue contributor to the FinFET technology market during 2016. With the introduction of favorable government policies and the growing demand and acceptance for innovations in consumer electronic devices in countries such as the US, the region will continue its dominance in the MOSFET technology market throughout the predicted period.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

The FinFET technology market consists of diversified international and regional vendors. The focus of the international players towards increasing their geographical reach has made it difficult for the regional vendors to compete in the market especially, in terms of quality and price. The competitive environment in this market is likely to intensify with the increase in product/service extensions, innovations in technology, and M&A activities. The international players in the MOSFET transistor market will grow inorganically during the next four years by acquiring the regional or local finFET transistors suppliers.

The leading vendors in the market are -

• Intel
• TSMC
• Samsung
• GlobalFoundries
• SMIC
• Qualcomm

The other prominent vendors in the market are ARM Holdings, MediaTek, Xilinx, and UMC.

Segmentation by application and analysis of the FinFET technology market

• System-on-chip (SoC)
• Graphics processing unit (GPU)
• Microcontroller unit (MCU)
• Field-programmable gate array (FPGA)
• Central processing unit (CPU)

During 2016, the CPU segment accounted for the major shares of the FinFET technology market. The adoption of CPUs in different consumer electronic products such as smartphones, wearables devices, and tablets will contribute to the growth of this market segment in the coming years. Moreover, the launch of new products and the production of high-performance CPUs, will also augment the segment’s growth in the global MOSFET transistor market.

Segmentation by technology and analysis of the FinFET technology market

• 20nm
• 7nm
• 14/16nm
• 10nm
• 22nm

This market research report estimates that owing to the rapid geometry shrinkage of devices, the 10nm segment will account for the major shares of the FinFET technology market by the end of the forecast period. Additionally, the rising utilization in several customer segments including mobile devices, servers, and graphics due to their cost benefits and better density improvement will also fuel the growth of this market segment in the MOSFET transistor market.
