Hence, such factors are driving the market during the forecast period.
Increasing demand for enhanced power density is the primary trend shaping market growth. Composite semiconductor materials are suitable to operate at high power densities because the intrinsic properties of the materials allow them to withstand high temperatures. The need for a cooling system is eliminated, resulting in compact application sizes and lower costs. In addition, composite semiconductor materials offer higher conversion rates and energy efficiency, which ultimately results in lower system costs.
Moreover, applications such as inverter systems, electric rail traction drives, wind generators, and solar generators use power electronics to improve their operational efficiency. However, silicon-based electrical devices cannot deliver the required performance, driving demand for composite semiconductor materials. As neon is the main component used in hybrid semiconductor photolithography, the increasing demand for hybrid semiconductors will drive the global market during the forecast period.
The negative impact of Russia Ukraine war is the challenge that affects the growth of the market. Ukraine is a major supplier of neon, with key suppliers such as Cryoin and INGAS based in Ukraine. INGAS Due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Cryoin's production plants were closed in 2022, after which it faced an acute financial crisis. The Russian invasion of Ukraine had a negative impact on the development of the semiconductor industry due to the rising cost of various raw materials used in the production of semiconductors.
Moreover, due to the war, semiconductor manufacturers in many parts of the world were unable to source components from Russia and Ukraine. Rising energy prices and the unavailability of key components used in semiconductor chip manufacturing have affected its manufacturing process. Hence, the war between Russia and Ukraine has negatively impacted neon demand on both the supply and demand side. Also, the Russia-Ukraine war is expected to impede market growth during the forecast period.
