GLOBAL CRISIS AND IMPACT ON INTERPOSER MARKET - COVID-19 IMPACT

"Interposer Industry Was Affected due to Disruption in Supply Chain by COVID-19 Pandemic"

The Global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and incredible, with the market experienced demand at all regions to be lower than the one expected before the pandemic break out. The market's growth as indicated through rise in CAGR is attributed to the fact that the market experienced a bounce in growth and demand during the pre-pandemic time. The pandemic has greatly affected the semiconductor supply chain. Consequently, it has resulted in a setback for the Interposer Market due to a decrease in manufacturing capacity, logistics, and facility shutdowns temporarily. Additionally, labor shortages and enhanced safety protocols have had an effect on production efficiency. Nevertheless, with increased electronic device demand due to lockdowns, some of the challenges are partly offset. Remote work and digital transformation initiatives pushed up the need for advanced computing solutions.

INTERPOSER MARKET SEGMENTATION

BY TYPE

Based on type, the global market can be classified into 2D IC, 2.5D IC, and 3D IC.

• 2D IC: The two dimensional interposers are still the conventional type and make up quite a big portion of the marketplace. They provide sufficient reliability for standards applications, including basic interconnection solutions from well-established manufacturing processes available from multiple sources.

• 2.5D IC: This market share is growing and provides performance within reasonable cost. The integration of multiple dies side-by-side in a single interposer increases the bandwidth and power benefit of 2.5D interposers, better than 2D ones. It is finding an increasing use in graphics processors, high-performance computing, and others.

• 3D IC: This is the most advanced segment in the market, as it has the possibility of interposer stacking more than one die vertically for the better space efficiency and performance. Such technology is vital in those cutting-edge applications where a great computing power has to be produced with minimal space. As people are opting for smaller yet high-performance devices, there is considerable growth seen in this segment.

BY APPLICATION

Global market is further divided based on the application into CIS, CPU/GPU, MEMS 3D Capping Interposer, and RF Devices.

• CIS (CMOS Image Sensors): In the CIS segment, interposers are applied to enhance imaging capabilities for cameras and mobile devices. Such interposers help in enhanced signal processing and high-quality images with compact form factors. The demand for quality imaging in smartphones and automotive applications is driving growth in this segment.

• CPU/GPU: This is the biggest application area wherein interposers make possible high-speed connections between processors and memory. It helps in enhancing computing applications with respect to performance and power efficiency. High-performance computing and gaming systems remain a major driver of growth in this segment as well.

• MEMS 3D Capping Interposer: This interposer will protect the MEMS device and will interface with it. As the technology advances in the IoT and automotive, so is the application for these sensors and actuators

• RF Devices: RF does require very specialized interposers to ensure that integrity of signals is maintained as well as to avoid interference. Expanding 5G and wireless communications continue demanding RF-optimized interposers.
