Burgeoning Smartphone Sales Driving Production of Silicon on Insulators

 


As per reports, in 2021, there are already 10 billion internet of things (IoT) devices active around the world, and by 2030, this number is set to cross 25 billion! Essentially, any electrical or electronic product that is integrated with sensors to capture a variety of data and an internet connection to share that data with another such device or a central control room is termed as an IoT device. In many applications, such as smart buildings and factory machines, the IoT devices need to be small. Thus, electronics companies are shifting away from conventional semiconductor manufacturing to the system-on-chip (SOC) arrangement, in which the sensor, processor, electronic circuitry, and memory are embedded into one small chip.

Considering the rapid miniaturization of IoT devices with the help of the SOC technology, P&S Intelligence expects the silicon on insulator (SOI) market revenue to reach $2,285.5 million by 2024, growing from $684.8 million in 2018 at a 22.7% CAGR between 2019 and 2024. This is because SOI fabrication, wherein an insulator is sandwiched between two layers of a semiconducting material, enables the creation of SOCs. Hence, with the growing demand for SoCs for IoT and miniaturized electronic devices, the adoption of SOI fabrication will rise around the world.

Moreover, the burgeoning demand for smartphones will drive the usage of SOIs. With the shift of mobile phone manufacturing to Asia-Pacific (APAC) and increase in the production output of consumer electronics companies, smartphone prices continue to come down. This, coupled with the rising disposable income in developing countries, is pushing up smartphone sales. Further, with the wide availability of 3G and 4G connectivity and strong focus on deploying 5G networks, smartphone sales will continue to boom, thereby driving the production of SOIs.

As a result, several public agencies and private companies are increasing their investments in this space. For instance, the city of Chengdu in China signed an agreement with GLOBALFOUNDRIES U.S. Inc. in 2017 for setting up a fully depleted-SOI (FD-SOI) ecosystem that would include numerous university programs and design centers in China. In all, more than $100 million are being pumped into the SOI sector in Chengdu so that state-of-the-art microchips can be designed for automobiles, IoT devices, mobile phones, and other next-generation systems.

  The global population will increase from 7.7 billion currently to 9.7 billion by 2050, says the United Nations Department for Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), in its latest World Population Prospects report. With this, the hold of various chronic and acute diseases on the world is rising, as is of all other issues that can take someone to a doctor. With the growing demand for medical services, the number of hospitals and other healthcare settings is increasing. This is resulting in the surging requirement of various devices, instruments, and systems used at such places, as well as the individual components which make up such stuff, including sensors.  Therefore, with the rising demand for healthcare, the disposable medical sensors market is advancing around the world. Accelerometers, biosensors, temperature sensors, pressure sensors, image sensors, and several other kinds of sensors are used in medical settings. Among these, the usage of image sensors is expected to in...

Why Will Commercial Sector Dominate Australia Ventilation Products Market?

Image
 The Australia ventilation products market revenue is expected to increase from $569.4 million in 2021 to $1,003.9 million in 2030. Moreover, it will propel at a 6.5% CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing commercial and residential projects, rising consciousness of the health and ecological effects of contaminated air, and cumulative preference for decentralized ventilation. Further, since the pandemic, people have become more conscious than ever of the harms of breathing contaminated air, especially since COVID-19 is an airborne disease. The skyrocketing demand for smart buildings will drive the Australian ventilation products market in the coming years. This can be attributed to the rising pollution levels due to the increasing carbon emissions, and surging cognizance of environmental sustainability. A smart building encompasses practices such as greenhouse gas emission reduction, water conservation, energy efficiency, and waste management. Therefore, with the i...

Why Are Air Compressor Sales Rising in APAC Manufacturing Sector?

Image
  Among the top manufacturing nations in the world are China, Japan, India, and South Korea. Their booming population and export volume are leading to a continuous increase in industrial production. New manufacturing clusters are being set up, and a huge volume and variety of production equipment is being procured in order to fulfill the rising demand for all things imaginable. One of the key pieces of equipment used at factories is an air compressor, often as part of larger machines that operate on pneumatics (air pressure). Therefore, as per P&S Intelligence, with the burgeoning industrial production, the value of the Asia-Pacific (APAC) air compressor market will increase to $15.2 billion by 2024 from $11.8 billion in 2018, at a 4.1% CAGR during 2019–2024 (forecast period). Some of the common industrial machines that work on pneumatics, therefore require air compressors, are rock drills, riveters, pavement breakers, paint sprayers, forging presses, blast cleaners, nail guns,...
