Market Dynamics
The semiconductor industry is witnessing extensive growth owing to technological developments that have brought high end electronic devices to the common people; this in turn is driving the growth of the die attach machine market. In the last few decades, electronics products have become very small, enabling smaller, lighter, and more portable devices. In addition to this, all electronic devices have transitioned from analog to digital. Such factors have made electronic devices cheaper. Thus, the demand for consumer electronic products such as smartphones, tablets, PCs, wearables, augmented and virtual reality devices, consumer appliances, and other electronics has increased by many folds in the last few decades.
Furthermore, growth in wireless connectivity such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5G networks, and others, have increased demand for highly sophisticated semiconductors. Furthermore, other advancements such as rise of automation in industries that have helped in improving industrial processes such as manufacturing, warehousing, industrial data management, and other industry 4.0 technologies are propelling the semiconductor industry. Moreover, advancements of artificial intelligence and its adoption in devices such as smartphones, CCTV cameras, smart home devices, vehicles, and others are driving the demand for sophisticated semiconductors and its specialized production equipment including die attach machines.
In addition to this, according to the United Nations projections, at the end of 2022, the global population reached 8 billion, and is expected to increase to 8.5 billion by 2030, and in just 20 years after that it is expected to become 9.7 billion in 2050. The rising population and urbanization will help in increasing the number of households, which is anticipated to drive demand for consumer appliances, smart devices, CCTV cameras, and others. For instance, the Indian Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA) estimates that the Indian electronic sector will grow with a CAGR of 20% to $400 billion by 2025.
Moreover, more that 70% U.S. households own smart speaker such as Amazon Alexa. Moreover, the increase in demand for hybrid circuits in medical equipment, owing to increase in the number of patients is propelling the demand for semiconductor chips. Thus, witnessing the increasing demand for products that are completely dependent on semiconductors, governments, and key players in the semiconductor industry are investing heavily to improve their share and contribution in the semiconductor industry.
For instance, in May 2022, International Semiconductor Consortium (ISMC) announced investing $3 billion in India for setting up a chip-making plant in India. In addition, in November 2021, the Japanese government approved a $5.4 billion package for the semiconductor industry, including a $2.8 billion subsidy for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s (TSMC) new foundry in Kumamoto city of Japan.
In addition, according to the data published by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) in February 2022, semiconductor sales in 2021 were valued at $555.9 billion, which is 26.2% higher than the total sales in 2020, which totaled $440.4 billion. This is largely attributed to increased demand for semiconductors for devices that were essential for work from home and study from home culture, which boosted during the COVID-19 period. The rise in demand for electronics products is driving the demand for die attach machines, as these machines play an instrumental role in bonding the die to the chip substrate.
However, factors such as fluctuating cost of raw materials required to construct die attach machines and shortage of essential materials such as silicon, are anticipated to restrain the die attach machine market growth.
Moreover, an increase in government funding in the development of the domestic semiconductor industry, and the growth in usage of LED circuits is a major die attach machine market opportunity for the growth of the key players. Various countries such as the U.S., China, India, Japan, South Korea, UAE, and others, have unveiled many funding policies for the growth of the domestic semiconductor industry.
The market for die attach machines witnessed a decline in 2020, owing to low demand from different industries due to lockdowns imposed by the government of many countries. The COVID-19 pandemic shut down various factories including the ones involved in producing electronic products all across the world, leading to a halt in demand for die attach machines.
Moreover, the semiconductor shortage caused by the COVID-19 led to lockdowns and severely hampered the semiconductor industry. This has hampered the growth of the die attach machine market significantly during the pandemic. The major demand for die attach machines was previously noticed from major countries including the U.S., Germany, Italy, the UK, South Korea, Taiwan, and developing countries such as India, and China.
These countries were severely affected by the spread of coronavirus, thereby halting demand for die attach equipment. However, owing to the introduction of various vaccines, the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly reduced. This has led to the full-fledged reopening of businesses involved in the die attach machine market and also led to increased activities in the industrial sector.
Furthermore, it has been more than two and a half years since the outbreak of this pandemic, and many companies have already shown notable signs of recovery. Contrarily, as of the beginning of 2023, the number of COVID-19 infection cases is surged again, especially in China, this brought negative sentiments in the market, which may have a negative affect the die attach machine market for a short duration. Thus, businesses involved in die attach machines as well as semiconductor manufacturing must focus on protecting their workforce, operations, and supply chains to respond to any looming crises and find new ways of working to remain competitive.
