The growing importance of renewable energy sources has led to a rise in the demand for solar energy. There is high growth in the number of solar panel installations owing to the rising awareness about the advantages of using solar energy. Solar panels and cells are created using silicon wafers due to their semiconducting properties. The solar band efficiency of 1.1 eV of silicon makes it a practical option to be used for these panels. The abundance of silicon, stable cell efficiencies, and non-toxicity make it a suitable material choice for photovoltaics, boosting the silicon wafer market growth. The high-performance efficiency offered by silicon solar panels is further contributing to the silicon wafer market growth.

The growing adoption of automation in the automotive sector will contribute to the silicon wafer market growth. The demand for vehicle electrification and increased connectivity will encourage the R&D in the industry. The introduction of technologies, such as Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), will further aid in the industry growth. There is a growing significance of connected cars with the ongoing trends revolutionizing the automotive sector. The advent of technologies, such as adaptive cruise control and automatic braking systems, will further contribute to the silicon wafer market growth. Key trends, such as IoT, touch-free human-machine interfaces, and connectivity features in cars, will encourage the industry growth.

The demand for wafer sizes larger than or equal to 300 mm will support the silicon wafer market growth. A large wafer diameter enables the production of more semiconductor devices from a single wafer thereby enhancing the efficiency and productivity. The growing demand for chips and enhanced chip throughput enabled by large wafer sizes has led to the evolution of these wafers from half-inch silicon to 300 mm diameter wafers. However, 450 mm wafers are poised to offer several advantages; the 450 mm technology leading to more costly processing tools and less than expected ROI is discouraging the technology adoption.


Memory demand is rising across various applications from mobile devices to servers. The rising wafer costs and tight supply constraints are compelling memory manufacturers to transition to higher NAND and DRAM densities. The increasing need for high-memory applications will drive the silicon wafer market growth. Memory and logic devices that include SDRAM, DRAM, GPU, CPU, and flash memory are used in mobile internet devices, gaming devices, digital music players, and computers. Moreover, increasing use of networking devices demanding high logic and memory capabilities will aid the silicon wafer market growth.

Key players in the silicon wafer market include Shin-Etsu, SUMCO, Siltronic AG, Shanghai Simgui Technology Co., Ltd., Wafer Works Co., GlobalWafers Co., Ltd., Tokuyama Corporation.
