[181 Pages Report] The Interposer & Fan-Out WLP Market size was estimated at USD 27.06 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 30.69 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 13.96% to reach USD 67.56 billion by 2030.
Interposers are interface materials that enable communication between the chip and the board, while FOWLP is an advanced packaging technique that exposes the die on the wafer to an unrestricted number of fan-out redistribution layers, thereby enhancing interconnect density. These packaging solutions are essential for high-performance computing, consumer electronics, and telecommunication devices, facilitating enhanced functionality in a smaller footprint. Rising demand for portable electronics, increasing automotive electronics complexity, the growing trend of miniaturization of electronic devices, and the rise in usage of wearable and connected devices increase the adoption of interposer and Fan-Out WLP. However, compatibility issues with existing equipment and processes, and also thermal management concerns due to high-density packaging, may impede market growth. Nevertheless, the expanding potential of FOWLP through research in 3D packaging and heterogeneous integration coupled with increasing adoption in emerging sectors such as 5G infrastructure, AI-powered devices, and energy storage systems are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the growth of Interposer and Fan-Out Wafer Level Packaging (FOWLP) market.
Packaging Technology: Proliferating usage of interposers and fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) technology owing to the improved thermal handling and performance efficiency
Interposers and Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging (FOWLP) are advanced packaging technologies that serve as a bridge between the microchips and the printed circuit boards (PCBs). These technologies enhance electrical performance and provide a better form factor through miniaturization. They are also key in enabling heterogeneous integration, which is the combination of different types of components into a single package. Interposer technology is often preferred when there is a need for high-bandwidth and high-density connections between chips, such as in high-performance computing and networking applications. FOWLP is typically chosen for its cost-effectiveness and improved thermal performance, making it suitable for applications in mobile devices, IoT, and wearables where space and power efficiency are highly valued. Through-Silicon Vias are a 3D packaging technology where vertical electrical connections (vias) pass completely through silicon wafers or dies. TSVs allow for shorter interconnections which greatly enhance performance and reduce latency. They are prominently used for integrating memory and logic chips, making them essential to industries that require high-speed data processing. TSV technology is preferred for applications where vertical stacking of wafers or dies is crucial. This includes 3D memory stacks, high-performance processors, MEMS, and advanced image sensors. Its adoption is often seen in sectors demanding high-speed data transfer and significant power savings.
