The evolution of 3D printing is notably driving market growth. 3D printing is a technology wherein an object is manufactured from its three-dimensional image by stacking many layers of material. 3D printing has potential applications in many industries, such as medical, aerospace, and automotive. Printed circuit boards (PCB) can be manufactured by using a 3D printer. Using 3D printers for manufacturing PCBs could easily revolutionize the foundry market. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. and Intel are trying to use 3D printing to manufacture semiconductors. Although 3D printing cannot entirely replace present manufacturing techniques, it can be used for the production of some specific components.
The tools that are used in 200-mm manufacturing are old and often require new parts to keep them working. Manufacturers are looking at 3D printing to help keep these tools running longer rather than replace the entire tool, which usually is a high cost for the company. 3D printing is an ideal option for foundries producing components that require high-value and low-volume production. Thus, such factors are expected to drive the global market during the forecast period.
The Pure Play Foundries segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 68.93 billion in 2017. Pure-play foundries are able to concentrate on new process technologies due to high economies of scale. An increase in the number of fabs being built worldwide. Spending by pure-play foundries has increased. Pure-play foundries receive little competition from new players. The significant economies of scale are one of the primary causes of this rise. These companies are able to meet market demands because they can afford to implement the newest and most advanced technology. Hence, there will be an increase in the sales of these ICs, which, in turn, will lead to an increase in the revenue of the pure-play foundries during the forecast period.
North America is estimated to contribute 40% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
The major reason for this dominance of North America in the global market is the highest sales generated from this region. It has a major concentration of the leading semiconductor fabless companies. Moreover, the majority of the customers in the global market are from North America. Hence, the revenue contribution by the region is significantly high and is likely to remain the same during the forecast period, with the US being the prime contributor. Government initiatives in the country are expected to be a major factor in the growth of the market in the US during the forecast period. For instance, the Government of the US is focusing on bringing back the firms into the US to create more jobs, and this will positively impact the foundry market as well.
North America is also turning out to be a critical region for the growth of advanced semiconductor foundries. These advanced semiconductors will have a higher average selling price, which, in turn, will lead to higher revenues. Furthermore, North America is one of the largest markets for newly installed equipment and will be operational in the future. This will impact market growth. Google and Tesla have shown an increasing interest in driverless cars, IT, wearables, and smart devices. Tesla has developed technologies, such as the Tesla Autopilot system, that are set to transform the automobile industry, mainly electric cars. All these products require semiconductor ICs, thereby requiring semiconductor foundries to invest in technologies to build ICs based on new process nodes. Such factors impact the growth of the regional market during the forecast period.
