Why Silicon Wafer is projected to Witness the Fastest Growth?

Market revenue through silicon wafers is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of over 6.6% during 2022-32. Global demand for electronic gadgets like mobile phones, personal computers, laptops, and air conditioners is growing, boosting the rise of the silicon wafer. The manufacture of integrated circuits uses silicon wafers, which are frequently utilized as an underlayer in microelectronic devices.

It is anticipated that the availability of extra features in a single device will boost the demand for compact devices, increasing silicon wafer consumption worldwide. Additionally, it is projected that the market for electronic chemicals and materials will increase at a faster pace due to the expanding usage of silicon wafers in consumer electronics.

What is the impact of Covid-19 on Electronic Chemicals & Materials Market?

Due to Covid-19, key economies including China, India, Germany, and the United States implemented restrictions, disrupting the supply chain for companies that make electronic chemicals and materials. According to Independent Chemical Information Services, there was a 15-20% decline in electronic chemical products due to logistic and supply chain disruption.

Since there was less demand from the end customer, many businesses stopped operating. Additionally, because of shipping restrictions on non-essential items, there was a decrease in demand for electronic goods, which had an impact on the overall electronics industry.

China is the world's leading producer and exporter of electronic goods' raw materials. During the pandemic, the country had to stop production. It caused a gap in the supply and demand for electronic goods by compelling other electronic manufacturers, primarily those from the United States and Europe to temporarily halt the production of finished goods.

On the other hand, demand for certain electronic devices such as tablets, phones, laptops, tablets, and other gadgets increased by the middle of 2020, owing mostly to the widespread adoption of teleworking systems. These factors impacted the demand for electronic chemicals and materials dearly.
