PUNE, India, Aug. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Market Research Future published a half-cooked research report on "Global Silicon Wafers Market Research Report - Forecast to 2022" – Market Analysis, Scope, Stake, Progress, Trends and Forecast to 2022.

Elkem AS (Norway), Addison Engineering (CA), Renewable Energy Corporation (Norway), Shin-Etsu Handotai Co. Ltd. (Japan), Siltronic AG (Germany) MEMC Electronic Materials Inc.(California), LG Siltron Inc. (South Korea), Advance Semiconductor Inc.(U.S.), and SUMCO Corp.(Japan) are some of the prominent players profiled in MRFR Analysis and are at the forefront of competition in the Global Silicon Wafers Market.

Silicon Wafers Global Market – Overview
The Global Silicon Wafers Market is growing with the rapid pace; mainly due to the booming electronic industry. According to a recent study report published by the Market Research Future, the global market of Silicon Wafers is booming and expected to gain prominence over the forecast period. The global Silicon Wafers market is expected to grow at CAGR of 8.5% and estimated to reach at market size of US ~$503 million by the end of forecast period.

Silicon wafer provides the data processing capabilities and are majorly used in integrated circuits. Integrated circuits are used in various devices like computers, smart phones, gaming devices and military weapons among others. The market has grown immensely attributed to the technological development and the advancement in the silicon wafers technology used in the electronic industry. Moreover, the growing demand for the solar energy will contribute to the growth of the solar panel and solar cells which in turn will upsurge the silicon wafer market as the silicon wafers are widely used in the manufacturing of the solar cells.

The global silicon wafer market size was USD 333 million in 2016 with as high as CAGR of 8.5% owing to the growing demand for the end-use industries including solar cell and consumer electronics. Increasing substitution of the virgin and test silicon wafers with reclaimed silicon wafers owing to low costs associated with the product are anticipated to propel demand. Moreover, the growing demand for the solar energy will contribute to the growth of the solar panel and solar cells which in turn will boost up the silicon wafer market as the silicon wafers are widely used in the manufacturing of the solar cells.

As per the trend, 300mm silicon wafers have captured the market of the silicon wafers as it is widely used by the semiconductor industry however the major players have restricted their investments in new technology i.e. 450mm wafers, due to its high manufacturing costs of processing and lower expected returns on investments. Moreover, silicon wafers also have the growing demand in electronic industry due to its flexible and small size, high reliability, low weight, and low power consumption.

Silicon Wafers Market – Overview – Segments

The Silicon wafers market has been segmented in to 3 dynamics for an enhanced understanding; 

Segmentation by Size – Comprises - 150 mm, 200mm, 300mm, and 450mm.

Segmentation by Type – Comprises - N-Type and P-Type.

Segmentation by Application – Solar cells, Integrated Circuits, Photoelectric Cells, and Others.

Silicon Wafers Market – Synopsis
Silicon wafer provides the data processing capabilities and are majorly used in integrated circuits. Presently, 300mm diameter wafers are widely used by the semiconductor industry. It is also expected that over the next couple of years, the market will show some progress towards the 450mm diameter wafers. But major manufacturers present in the market are restraining to invest in the new technology. The main reason behind it is high manufacturing costs of semiconductor processing tools. In spite of the above challenges, major companies in the market are still working on 450mm wafers. Due to high cost of manufacturing process of the 450mm will restrict the small companies to implement this technology. In 2015, the 300mm silicon wafers segment dominated the market and accounting for about 60-65% of the market revenue due to high demand in the solar industry.
