APAC Semiconductor Device Market Analysis

The APAC Semiconductor Device Market For Processing Applications Industry is expected to grow from USD 151.05 billion in 2024 to USD 214.84 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 7.30% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Regional governments launched initiatives to develop the manufacturing and processing industry and recover the growth of semiconductors and manufacturing sectors nationwide. For example, the Japanese government is taking stringent measures to revive its industries, such as manufacturing processes.

  • The automation and electrification of manufacturing processes have driven increased demand for semiconductor wafers. Semiconductor ICs with varied functionalities are used in various products, such as infotainment systems, navigation control, HMI, machine vision system, and collision detection systems.
  • Moreover, there is enhanced activity from the semiconductor fabrication facilities in Asia-Pacific countries such as China, Singapore, and Korea. Numerous multinational manufacturers of memory direct a large amount of investment into the Chinese semiconductor fabrication market. The country's government initiatives, such as Made in China 2025, significantly support these initiatives. Such initiatives are expected to draw more investments into the country, thus driving the market over the forecast period.
  • Moreover, Japan aims to attract overseas companies through financial incentives to secure its chip supplies and address the global shortage. Japan imports significant semiconductors from overseas and wants to build a home supply chain for this technology. During the second pandemic wave, Japan signed off on a JPY 37 billion (USD 0.23 billion) semiconductor research project to develop chip technology in the country with TSMC. About 20 Japanese companies, including Hitachi High-Tech Corp., will work with TSMC on the project, with the Japanese government paying just over half of the cost.
  • TSMC formed strategies of opening its first chip plant in Japan as the country pushes to attract more foreign investment into its manufacturing sector. TSMC is considering plans to open a plant in the Kumamoto Prefecture in western Japan, which would help meet the growing demand for image sensors, microcontrollers, and other chips.
  • In March 2023, South Korea's parliament approved a bill to boost the country's powerhouse semiconductor industry by giving firms tax breaks to spur investments. The 'K-Chips Act' legislation would increase the tax credit to 15% from the current 8% for major companies investing in manufacturing facilities. At the same time, smaller and medium-sized firms would see the tax break go to 25%, up from 16%. The measure is expected to boost domestic investment for South Korean tech companies such as Samsung Electronics Co. and SK Hynix Inc.
  • Further, semiconductors are already Korea's largest export. However, most of that is memory products, NAND Flash, and DRAM memory. The new plan aims to boost the advanced logic chip foundry capacity. Samsung already operates a foundry service with technological capabilities on par with world leader TSMC, but it needs TSMC's volume. SK Hynix has some foundries, but those facilities are far less advanced.

APAC Semiconductor Device Market Trends

Sensors is Expected to Drive the Market

  • Sensors are a crucial part of factory automation and Industry 4.0. Motion, environmental, and vibration sensors monitor equipment health, ranging from linear or angular positioning, tilt sensing, leveling, and shock to fall detection.
  • Dedicated industrial motion sensors based on micromachined sensing (MEMS) elements are available for manufacturing process applications. These have a wide mechanical frequency sensing bandwidth, high reliability, and accurate operation up to 105°C.
  • A high-end sensor system is often powered by a 24V DC source, which is very different from a sensor in a consumer system powered by a 3V or 5V source. As a result, high-end sensor systems require additional power management to drive the sensors effectively. These use digital outputs, such as IO-Link direct to a microcontroller or the wireless transceiver.
  • Energy consumption is crucial for industrial processing sensor networks, as thousands of sensor nodes and their wireless transceivers consume significant power. Multiple wireless routing protocols consume less energy, mainly through lower-duty cycles. Higher power is sometimes needed in heavy-duty applications to overcome interference and ensure reliable data acquisition and network reliability.
  • In January 2022, Superior Sensor Technology announced the addition of two new pressure sensor families as an extension to its ND series. These new devices enable manufacturers to develop more stable and accurate products cost-effectively for several processing equipment applications operating at low to mid-pressure ranges.

China is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share

  • Several initiatives have been taken in recent years to boost the industry's growth. For instance, the Chinese government announced plans to expand the domestic market for electronic components to CNY 2.1 trillion (USD 327 billion) by 2023. The plan covers components, materials, manufacturing equipment used in connected factories, process automation robotics, etc. Specifically, the Chinese government is looking to increase the output of semiconductors, sensors, magnets, fiber-optic equipment, and software, among others. Such initiatives create a positive growth outlook for the studied market.
  • In June 2022, Hong Kong-based HG Semiconductor Ltd entered into a framework agreement with China Titans Energy Technology Group Co Ltd to commence three-year strategic cooperation on GaN-based fast-charging pile (station) technology promotion and product sales in mainland China and Hong Kong. HG Semiconductor designs and manufactures LED beads, gallium nitride (GaN) chips, and GaN components, focusing mainly on China.
  • Additionally, in February 2022, AXT, Inc. reported expanding operations at its Beijing facility and investing in raw material extraction facilities, strengthening its position as a significant worldwide provider of semiconductor substrates.
  • Several regional companies have received robust funding to advance their design and development of semiconductors device for processing applications. According to a report by SEMI, Chinese chipmakers were projected to commence operations on 18 projects in 2024, buoyed by government funding and incentives, aiming to bolster their global chip production share.

  • August 2022: Toshiba Electronic Devices and Storage Corporation launched the TWxxNxxxC series, a third-generation silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs with low on-resistance and significantly reduced switching loss. The products reduce on-resistance per unit area (RDS(ON)A) by approximately 43%, allowing for an 80% reduction in the drain-source on-resistance gate-drain charge (RDS(ON) Qgd). This critical index represents the relationship between conduction loss and switching loss.
  • July 2022: Micron Technology, Inc. announced that it had begun volume production of the world's first 232-layer NAND, built with industry-leading innovations to drive unprecedented performance for storage solutions. Micron's 232-layer NAND is a watershed moment for storage innovation as the first proof of the capability to scale 3D NAND to more than 200 layers in production.
