Europe Semiconductor Silicon Wafer Market Forecast to 2031 - Regional Analysis- by Type, Application, and Node Type

The Europe semiconductor silicon wafer market was valued at US$ 882.45 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 1.09 billion by 2031; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 2.7% from 2023 to 2031.

Emergence of 5G Drive Europe Semiconductor Silicon Wafer Market

The 5G network is ∼100 times faster than the 4G network, making real-time data acquisition easier. As the 5G network provides strong connectivity and high-speed data transfer, its demand is increasing worldwide. According to the Groupe Speciale Mobile Association (GSMA), 5G penetration across the globe is expected to reach 54% by 2030 from 12% in 2022.

5G penetration in Europe is expected to increase from 4% and 11% in 2022 to 41% and 87% by 2030, respectively. As 5G is the critical new-generation network technology that can enable innovation and support digital transformation, its demand is increasing across the globe. With the rise in 5G penetration, governments of various countries are investing in 5G infrastructure.

In July 2021, the government of France announced its plan to invest ~US$ 2.06 billion (€1.7 billion) in its 5G sector by 2025 via public and private investments. With this plan, the government aims to accelerate the development of 5G in the country. Such growing investments in 5G help improve connectivity and raise the demand for connected devices. This growth in 5G technology adoption is also raising the demand for semiconductors, which led companies such as Samsung and TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) to initiate production of 5G chips on their 7 nm process node. Therefore, the emergence of the 5G network fuels the Europe semiconductor silicon wafer market growth.

Europe Semiconductor Silicon Wafer Market Overview

The growing adoption and manufacturing of electric vehicles, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and telecommunication are creating the need for the development of various electronic components, which drives the semiconductor silicon wafer market. Moreover, Europe is prominent in automotive manufacturing and is experiencing a rise in demand for advanced semiconductors for the electrification and automation of vehicles. The growing demand for semiconductors is fulfilled by the construction of various semiconductor manufacturing facilities across Europe.

For example, in August 2023, Semiconductor makers Robert Bosch, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Infineon Technologies, and NXP have formed a joint venture to invest in a new semiconductor plant in Dresden, Germany. Further, the European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) project began construction in the second half of 2023, with manufacturing expected to commence by the end of 2027. It will have a monthly production capability of 40,000 300mm (12in) wafers using TSMC's 28/22 nanometer planar CMOS and 16/12 nanometer finFET process technologies.
