As per the current market research conducted by the CMI Team, the global Semiconductor Chip Market size is expected to record a CAGR of 8.1% from 2024 to 2033. In 2024, the market size is projected to reach a valuation of USD 601 Billion. By 2033, the valuation is anticipated to reach USD 1277 Billion.

Semiconductor Chip Market: Overview

According to industry experts at CMI, a semiconductor chip is defined as a small, flat piece of semiconductor material. These chips serve as the fundamental building blocks for modern electronic devices. The semiconductor chip market is being driven by several variables, including the proliferation of IoT devices, the rapid rollout of 5G networks, transformation in the automotive industry, increasing consumer electronics industry, data center and cloud computing expansion, increasing application in healthcare and medical devices and the emergence of artificial intelligence. However, the high manufacturing cost and complex manufacturing process hinder the expansion of the industry.

Semiconductor Chip Market: Growth Factors and Dynamics

Rapid development in 5G infrastructure

The rapid development of 5G infrastructure drives the semiconductor chip market. The semiconductor chip is the heart of 5G technology, offering the performance, efficiency, and reliability needed for next-generation communication networks. The application of semiconductor chips covers 5G infrastructure to 5G devices. These chips are necessary for transmitting and receiving the high-frequency signals required for 5G. For instance, according to secondary sources, as of 2024, there were almost 2.1 billion 5G subscriptions worldwide, almost double the previous year. By 2029, the number of subscriptions is expected to reach nearly 5.5 billion.

Increasing partnership

The growing partnership among the countries for semiconductor manufacturing drives the market. In September 2024, the United States Department of State partnered with the India Semiconductor Mission, Ministry of Electronics and IT, Government of India, to explore opportunities to grow and diversify the global semiconductor ecosystem through the International Technology Security and Innovation (ITSI) Fund, established by the CHIPS Act of 2022 (CHIPS Act). This collaboration will assist in building a more resilient, secure, and sustainable global semiconductor value chain.

High manufacturing cost

The high manufacturing cost is expected to hinder the market growth. Cutting-edge methods, including EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography, necessitate large capital expenditure, making it difficult for smaller businesses to compete. The intricacy of chip designs increases production costs. Increasing innovation in chip fabrication also leads to increased R&D expenses.
