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.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs on semiconductor raw materials, equipment, and finished components have disrupted global supply chains, raising production costs and extending lead times for chip manufacturers across Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe. These tariffs have particularly impacted memory chips, integrated circuits, and microprocessors used in consumer electronics, automotive, and IT applications. While they have pressured pricing and slowed shipment volumes, tariffs have also encouraged regional semiconductor fabrication investments, reshoring initiatives, and accelerated innovation in material efficiency to reduce reliance on imported inputs.
