Market Share of Semiconductor Materials Industry
The semiconductor raw materials market is fragmented, with the presence of significant companies like BASF, LG Chem Ltd, Indium Corporation, and KYOCERA Corporation. The companies continuously invest in strategic collaborations and product developments to gain market share.
- September 2023: Electronic component maker CDIL became the first company in India to start manufacturing SiC semiconductors for high power-consuming technology products. CDIL operates manufacturing facilities and a reliability lab in Mohali and Delhi, serving industries focusing on the automotive, defense, and aerospace sectors. The company's expansion received incentive support from the Centre under the Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and Semiconductors (SPECS). The company initiated the first phase of production of 50 million SiC components with a surface-mount packaging line and plans to ramp up it to 100 million devices.
- August 2023: TSMC, Infineon Technologies AG, Robert Bosch GmbH, and NXP Semiconductors NV collaborated to invest in European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) GmbH in Germany to provide advanced semiconductor manufacturing services. ESMC marked a step toward constructing a 300 mm fab to support the automotive and industrial sectors’ future capacity needs. The facility is anticipated to have a monthly production capacity of 40,000 300 mm (12 inch) wafers on TSMC's 28/22 nanometer planar CMOS and 16/12 nanometer FinFET process technology, strengthening Europe's semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. ESMC aimed to begin construction in 2024, with production targeted to commence by 2027.
