Semiconductor Chip Market: Overview
Semiconductor chips or integrated circuits (ICs) are essential in today’s digital world. These chips are employed in various applications from several sectors, including electronics, appliances, automobiles, gaming, healthcare, transportation, power, clean energy, defense systems, and artificial intelligence (AI).
Imaging a world without semiconductors is equivalent to imaging one without cellphones, computers, televisions, video games, sophisticated automobiles, advanced wireless networks, etc. A semiconductor chip is a tiny silicon with electronic circuitry that performs various activities.
These chips comprise several tiny electronic components, such as transistors, diodes, and resistors. These chips’ semiconductor materials are silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide. The semiconductor chip market is driven by several factors, such as the growing consumer electronics industry, increasing automation in the automotive sector, growing applications in the defense industry, and others. However, the supply chain issue is a significant concern for the market growth.
- The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) announced global semiconductor sales were $166.0 billion for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 23.2% compared to the third quarter of 2023 and 10.7% more than the second quarter of 2024.
- Total global military expenditure reached $2443 billion in 2023, an increase of 6.8 percent in real terms from 2022. This was the steepest year-on-year increase since 2009. The 10 largest spenders in 2023—led by the United States, China, and Russia—all increased their military spending, according to new global data published by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).
- According to a recent report by OBERLO, the global consumer electronics market is set to bring in $949.7 billion in revenue in 2024, falling slightly by 0.6% from the previous year’s revenues. In 2023, the industry expanded by 4.1%, recovering from 2022’s 4.3% dip.
Semiconductor Chip Market: Growth Factors
Increasing adoption of IoT devices
The market is being driven primarily by the growing usage of IoT devices. The semiconductor industry is expanding rapidly as AI and the Internet of Things (IoT) become more widely used in various industries. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, the industry is estimated to be worth USD 1.1 trillion by 2025, driven by demand from B2B, B2G, and B2C firms.
Similarly, IDC valued the IoT industry at around USD 1.1 trillion in 2023. In IoT devices, magnetic sensors play an important role, which includes Hall effect sensors, TMR sensors, and reed switch sensors, raising demand for semiconductor chips.
Rising funding for microelectronics
The growing funding from public entities for advanced microelectronics is expected to offer a potential opportunity for the semiconductor chip industry’s revenue growth. In September 2023, Nokia announced that it had joined the Northeast Microelectronics Coalition (NEMC) Hub, a regional innovation hub coordinated by the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative.
The “Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) and Science Act” recently provided funding to the NEMC Hub to advance the microelectronics needs of the United States Department of Defense (DoD).
The funding award will establish eight Microelectronics Commons regional innovation hubs and Core Facilities across the United States, including NEMC, each focused on multiple technology areas and supported by a network of commercial innovators working together to expand the United States’ global leadership in microelectronics.
Semiconductor Chip Market: Recent Development
The semiconductor chip industry adopted several strategies, which include product launches, acquisitions, collaboration, expansion, and others. Some of the company strategies include:

Valens Semiconductor’s VS6320 provides a high-performance and efficient long-distance single-chip extension solution that addresses a critical need in the global videoconferencing, information technology (IT), industrial, and medical markets. As planned, Valens will start shipping engineering samples to select customers in the fourth quarter of 2023, advancing its long-term vision to transform digital experiences worldwide with its extensive product portfolio.
- In September 2024, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced that its Power Device Works’ Fukuyama Factory had begun a large-scale supply of power semiconductor chips made from 12-inch silicon (Si) wafers to assemble semiconductor modules, effective immediately. The advanced Si power-semiconductor modules will initially be used in consumer products. Going forward, Mitsubishi Electric expects to contribute to green transformation (GX) by providing a stable and timely supply of semiconductor chips to meet the growing demand for energy-saving power-electronics devices in various applications.
This product launch, expansion and collaboration strategies have expanded the company’s market presence in the semiconductor chip industry and gained its competitive edge.
