2.5D & 3D Semiconductor Packaging Market Size (2024 - 2029)

2.5D and 3D Semiconductor Packaging Market Analysis

The 2.5D & 3D Semiconductor Packaging Market size is estimated at USD 9.79 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 21.63 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 17.20% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

2.5D and 3D are packaging methodologies that include multiple ICs inside the package. In a 2.5D structure, multiple active semiconductor chips are placed side-by-side on silicon interposers to achieve high die-to-die interconnect density. In a 3D structure, active chips are integrated by die stacking for the shortest interconnect and smallest package footprint. In recent years, 2.5D and 3D have gained momentum as ideal chipset integration platforms due to their merits in achieving extremely high packaging density and energy efficiency.

• High-performance computing, data center networking, and autonomous vehicles are pushing the adoption rates for the market studied and accelerating its technological evolution. The trend is to have more enormous computing resources at the cloud, edge computing, and device levels.
