The Technological Advancements in Wearable Devices will be Strengthening the Demand of Semiconductor Silicon Wafers.

Published: Mar 2022

The global semiconductor silicon wafer market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period (2022-2028). Wearable device advancements will provide significant growth potential for the semiconductor silicon wafer market. Further, according to Siemens, industrial wearables could be a massive market as these devices enhance quality and safety in the processing industry. According to Zebra Technologies Corporation, 40-50% of manufacturers globally are expected to adopt wearables by 2022. In addition, the demand for small-sized gadgets has increased the demand for more features from a single device. This means that an IC chip now needs to have more transistors to support more functions.
