Semiconductors are materials exhibiting electrical conductivity levels falling between conductors and insulators. Semiconductor devices are constructed from materials that do not qualify as good conductors or insulators. Their utility lies in the ease with which their behavior can be manipulated through a process called doping, involving the addition of impurities. The conductivity of these devices is adjustable, achieved through exposure to heat, the introduction of an electric or magnetic field, or mechanical deformation. Due to their reliability and compact nature, these devices find broad applications in power devices, light emitters, lasers, and optical sensors.
Semiconductors and related devices can be categorized into intrinsic semiconductors and extrinsic semiconductors. Intrinsic semiconductors are chemically pure, lacking impurities that would alter the number of holes and electrons. Instead, the material's properties determine these characteristics. The range of products includes integrated circuits, memory chips, microprocessors, and others, catering to various industries such as information technology, aerospace & defense, consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare, and more.

It will grow from $636.47 billion in 2023 to $691.41 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to the demand for consumer electronics, the growth of the automotive industry, the needs of industrial automation, requirements for networking and connectivity, and advancements in renewable energy technologies.
The semiconductor and related devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $940.96 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the deployment of 5G networks, the expansion of IoT and edge computing, the proliferation of electric and autonomous vehicles, the adoption of AI and machine learning applications, and advancements in medical electronics and healthcare technologies. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass increased demand for automotive semiconductors, integration of IoT and wearable devices, the development of customized and specialized chips, global collaboration and partnerships, and a focus on resilience against geopolitical challenges.
The semiconductors and related devices market is experiencing growth due to the increasing penetration of mobiles, tablets, and other electronics, along with the rising consumption of data. Sales of electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets contribute to the generation and consumption of digital content, necessitating memory chips for data storage. As of February 2023, a report from Uswitch Limited indicated that 71.8 million mobile connections were active in 2022, marking a 3.8% increase from 2021. With a projected 68.3 million people in the UK by 2025, 95% of them are expected to own smartphones, driving the growth of the semiconductor and related devices market.
The semiconductor and related devices market is expected to see further growth due to the increasing threat of cyberattacks. Cyber threats, encompassing potential dangers and malicious activities in the digital realm, target computer systems, networks, and data. This escalating risk prompts the need for robust data protection solutions, often reliant on encryption and secure key management, both requiring specialized semiconductor components. In September 2023, AAG reported that 39% of UK companies experienced a cyberattack in 2022. Moreover, cybercrime impacted 53.35 million individuals in the US in the first half of 2022. Hence, the rising cyber threat is a driving force behind the growth of the semiconductor and related devices market.
The growth of the semiconductor and related devices market is hindered by the corruption of memory chips. Memory chip corruption results in the loss of stored data due to factors such as sudden power surges, formatting, virus attacks, and abrupt removal of memory cards. Rapid file uploads and deletions when the card is full, along with capturing photos on a low battery, are common reasons for memory card corruption. Consequently, the risk of data loss due to memory chip corruption poses a constraint to the growth of the semiconductor and related devices market.
Companies in the memory chip market are innovating their chips with significant technological enhancements, driving increased demand for memory chips. Researchers are developing memory chips capable of storing and processing data, thereby reducing the time and energy required for data transfer and enhancing processor speed. Samsung Electronics, for example, has announced the mass production of fifth-generation V-NAND memory chips that boast faster data transfer and the industry's fastest data write speed at 500 microseconds (μs). This represents a 30% improvement in write speed compared to the previous generation, accompanied by a substantial reduction in read-time to 50μs. The implementation of technological advancements that minimize data transfer time and energy consumption contributes to the growth of the semiconductor and related devices market.
Major players in the semiconductor and related devices market are actively pursuing the development of new technologies, such as semiconductor technology platforms, to expand their customer bases, drive more sales, and increase revenue. A semiconductor technology platform involves a standardized set of processes, materials, and design methodologies used for creating integrated circuits (ICs) or semiconductor devices. iDEAL Semiconductor, a US-based semiconductor company, introduced the SuperQ technology in February 2023. This product stands out with its ability to provide record-setting resistance per unit area (RSP). The SuperQ technology enhances power semiconductor devices, including diodes, metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), and integrated circuits (ICs) for system developers. It initially targets voltages up to 850 volts (V) and is silicon-based, compatible with upcoming power semiconductor materials.
