At IntegrateX Summit 2025, industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers will converge to explore how semiconductor advancements are driving economic growth, supply chain resilience, and cross-sector collaboration.
The Semiconductor Industry Outlook
According to the Semiconductor Industry Report 2025–2030 by Mordor Intelligence, the global semiconductor market is projected to reach USD 950.97 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.25% from USD 702.44 billion in 2025. Unit shipments are expected to rise from 1.04 trillion to 1.43 trillion, reflecting robust demand across computing, automotive, industrial automation, and consumer electronics.
Key highlights include:
- Integrated Circuits (ICs) dominated with 83.2% market share in 2024 and continue to lead innovation.
- Asia-Pacific accounted for 81.3% of total semiconductor revenue, maintaining its global manufacturing dominance.
- The 5 nm node led with 34.3% share, while 3 nm technology is forecast to grow at 8.7% CAGR.
- The fabless segment represented 67.8% of the market in 2024, expected to grow at 8.1% CAGR through 2030.
Key Growth Drivers
1. AI, Edge Computing, and Electric Mobility
The rise of AI-driven automation, IoT ecosystems, and electric vehicles has spurred a new wave of semiconductor demand. Chips must now deliver higher efficiency, lower latency, and enhanced thermal performance, reshaping design priorities and manufacturing capabilities.
2. Advanced Nodes and Heterogeneous Integration
The transition from 5 nm to 3 nm and beyond reflects a push toward compact architectures with greater computational density. Emerging chiplet-based systems and heterogeneous integration are optimizing performance while reducing costs and production time.
3. Supply Chain Resilience and Regionalization
While Asia-Pacific remains dominant, nations across the Middle East, Europe, and North America are investing heavily in semiconductor manufacturing to enhance self-reliance and supply-chain agility.
4. Materials and Equipment Innovation
Advances in silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), and advanced lithography are redefining chip performance. The semiconductor equipment market itself is forecast to grow from USD 124 billion in 2025 to USD 177.97 billion by 2030
Challenges Shaping the Future
Despite growth, the industry faces critical challenges:
- Capital intensity of advanced-node fabs increases entry barriers.
- Supply-chain disruptions continue to affect raw material availability and logistics.
- Geopolitical dependencies on critical regions heighten operational risks.
- Skilled workforce shortages remain a limiting factor in scaling production capacity.
