A semiconductor is a type of material, such as germanium or silicon, that exhibits electrical conductivity characteristics falling between those of conductors (like metals) and insulators. Its conductivity is close to that of metals at high temperatures and nearly non-existent at low temperatures. This property makes semiconductors crucial in automotive electronic devices and technology. In vehicles, semiconductors are used in multiple important functions such as power management, safety features, vehicle control, displays, and sensing in modern technologically advanced automobiles. More semiconductors are being used in electric and hybrid vehicles (EVs).
The automotive semiconductor market has witnessed significant growth over the years, owing to introduction of advanced features such as telematics, infotainment as well as advanced driver assistance system in new vehicles.
The global automotive semiconductor market has been segmented on the basis of component, vehicle type, propulsion type, application and region. Based on the component, the global market has been segmented into processor, analog IC, discrete power, sensor, memory and others. Based on vehicle type, the global automotive semiconductor market has been segmented into passenger car, light commercial vehicle and heavy commercial vehicle. Based on propulsion type, the global automotive semiconductor market has been segmented into internal combustion engine and electric.
Moreover, global semiconductor companies invested in Germany for manufacturing units. For instance, in 2023, Infineon Technologies AG, a global semiconductor company, started construction on a new chip manufacturing plant in Dresden, Germany with investment of $5.40 billion (EUR 5 billion). Manufacturing is set to start in the fall of 2026, generating around 1,000 highly qualified jobs. It will expand manufacturing of automotive components such as small automotive motor control units.
In addition, the UK intends to become a hub for the production of electric vehicles, the development of related technologies. The UK drew investments from automakers. For instance, in July 2023, Tata Group unveiled plans to construct a $5 billion gigafactory in the UK, with production set to commence in 2026. The Tata Group is projected to support UK’s ambitions to ensure a domestic supply of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. The development is expected to generate around 4,000 direct jobs, which benefit both the local economy and Jaguar Land Rover, a subsidiary of Tata Motors, by providing a reliable source of batteries. Increased in penetration of EVs in the UK further boost the requirement for advanced semiconductor solutions, which in turn support the growth of automotive semiconductor market.
Moreover, The EV combines batteries and electronic features with the engine for efficient power provided to the vehicles. Thus, development of power devices for electric powertrain is increased significantly in recent years. For instance, in December 2023, ROHM Semiconductor and Shenzhen BASiC Semiconductor collaborated to enhance the performance of silicon carbide (SiC) power devices, particularly for cost-effective solutions in electric vehicle (EV) powertrains. Through this collaboration, the strengths of both companies will be harnessed to develop onboard power modules for EVs, focusing on advancing SiC technology in this domain. The penetration of smart infrastructure has increased the demand for EV infrastructure, which increases the demand for electric vehicles, influencing the market growth.
In addition, the key factors such as increased development in automotive industry along with the increased demand for safety features in automobiles and the introduction of electric & hybrid vehicles across the globe supplements the growth of the market across the globe.
