Consumer Electronics Supporting Demand for Silicon Wafers

Silicon wafers are used for the production of semiconductors, which in turn, are used in the manufacture of electronic components that enrich our daily lives. Explains the lead analyst of the report, “The silicon wafer is a thin round disk which comes in different diameters meant to suit various electronic goods. With the skyrocketing demand for consumer electronics, demand for silicon wafers is expected to remain supported in the next couple of years. Silicon wafers find application in RFID, CMOS, MEMS, and other electronic applications.”


Automotive is another segment that is expected to push up demand in the market for silicon wafers. The rising electrification and automation of vehicles have driven up demand for semiconductor ICs for automotive products such as infotainment systems, navigation control, and collision detection systems.
