Market Trends of 3D TSV And 2.5D Industry
LED Packaging Expected to Witness the Significant Growth
- The increasing use of LED in products has promoted the expansion of higher power, greater density, and lower-cost devices. Using three-dimensional (3D) packaging through silicon via (TSV) technology authorizes a high density of vertical interconnects, unlike 2D packaging.
- TSV integrated circuits reduce connection lengths; thus, smaller parasitic capacitance, inductance, and resistance are required where a combination of monolithic and multifunctional integration is done efficiently, providing high-speed, low-power interconnects. According to IEA, the penetration rate of LEDs into the international lighting market is expected to reach some 76% in 2025 and further to 87.4% in 2030.
- Further, government initiatives and rules to adopt energy-efficient LEDs drive the studied Market. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the growth rate of LEDs in the lighting market is anticipated to be 75.8% in 2025.
- The requirements for LED packaging could be much better. If LED chips are not positioned into the package precisely, the luminescence efficiency of the overall packaging appliance might be affected directly. Any deviation from the established position will prevent LED light from being fully reflected from the reflective cup, affecting the LED's brightness.
- The US Department of Energy recently announced investing USD 61 million in 10 pilot projects using the latest technologies to turn thousands of homes and businesses into cutting-edge, energy-efficient networks. This applies to switching out incandescent and halogen bulbs for better energy-efficient LED lighting. As a result, with the expansion in LEDs, the LED packaging need in the United States will grow in the forecasted period.
- Furthermore, various players in the market are developing new products in the studied Market. In May 2022, Lumileds LLC launched high-power CSP (chip-scale package) LED. The LUXEON HL1Z is an un-domed, single-sided emitter that delivers high luminous efficacy (137lm/W or more) from a tiny box, just 1.4mm square.
- Rapid advancements in LED package applications are projected to raise innovation and consumption in the coming years, propelling the studied market growth. On the other hand, high saturation may limit product acceptance, which, in turn, limits market growth.

Asia-Pacific is Expected to Hold the Significant Market Share
- Asia-Pacific is the significant-growing region in the Market studied. The rising smartphone adoption rates have made the region one of the major mobile markets in the world, primarily due to the increasing population evolution and urbanization.
- As per the GSM Association, smartphone broadband networks cover 96% of the population of APAC, with 1.2 billion people accessing mobile internet services. 5G momentum continues revving across the region, with commercial 5G services currently available across 14 markets. Several others, including India and Vietnam, are expected to board in the coming years. By 2025, there will be 400 million 5G connections across the region, over 14% of the population. Further, industry 4.0 is also one of Asia-Pacific's most emerging trends. IoT devices and miniaturization are important trends in Industry 4.0, utilizing 3D TSV. The region is investing heavily in IoT to support smart city infrastructure.
- Advancing technologies have contributed to the development of consumer electronics, telecom, medical devices, communication devices, and automotive. With the launch of 5G benefits in the country, the demand for smartphones, among other things, has been rising.
- According to the MIIT, China desired 2 million installed 5G base stations in 2022 to develop the country's next-generation mobile network. The Chinese mainland presently has 1.425 million installed 5G base stations that support more than 500 million 5G users nationally, making it the most comprehensive network in the world, as per MIIT. The growing implementation of 5G in the region is also expected to promote the demand for 5G-enabled devices, thereby increasing the need for 2.5D and 3D semiconductor packaging.
- Further, according to CAICT, 5G smartphone shipments are recorded for 75.9% of domestic shipments, more significant than a global average of 40.7%. By July 2022, 5G smartphones will have reached 74% of all cellphone shipments in China. The total number of 5G cell phone shipments by July 2022 was 124mm units, and China introduced 121 latest 5G mobile phone models. Such trends would accelerate the region's demand for 2.5D and 3D semiconductor packaging solutions.
- The increasing use of autonomous and electric vehicles has also increased the demand for advanced semiconductors across the region, further supporting the studied Market's growth. In February 2022, Tesla plans to build a 2nd EV facility in China to keep up with rising demand locally and in export markets. In the short term, Tesla intends to increase capacity in China to at least 1mm cars yearly, with a second plant planned around its present exhibition in Shanghai's Lingang free trade zone. In addition, the Chinese government seeks 20% of all vehicle sales to be electric by 2025, including adopting NEVs as the next generation of government vehicles.
- Moreover, the growing investments in semiconductor manufacturing and packaging plants also create a favorable growth scenario for the studied Market. For instance, Intel, a significant semiconductor chip manufacturer, recently announced a USD 7 billion investment to build an advanced chip packaging facility in Malaysia. Similarly, in November 2022, Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE) announced a USD 300 million investment to expand its production site in Malaysia.
