Single Crystal Silicon Wafers Market Dynamics

Single Crystal Silicon Wafers Market Driver

Rise In Demand for Consumer Electronics, Portable Computing Devices, And Solar Cells

  • The rise in demand for consumer electronics, portable computing devices, and solar cells has resulted in a significant increase in demand for single crystal silicon wafers market. Renewing demand from the automobile industry and consumer electronics are two factors behind the increase in demand for solar powdered products, which tends to increase the consumption of market studied. In addition, due to the low labour cost, and other benefits, specifically in APAC region, the investors are planning to expand the production facility of single crystal silicon wafers in order to meet the current demand.
  • Solar-powered photovoltaic (PV) installations are seeing a lot of attention in countries across North America and Asia Pacific, various new projects of solar farming are coming into picture. The growing demand of single crystal silicon wafers in PVs to provide more output per construction area, will rise the demand of single crystal silicon wafers market globally.

Single Crystal Silicon Wafers Market Challenges

High prices and hazardous by-product

  • High prices and a lack of awareness of single crystal silicon wafers are two major factors limiting market development. New producers, on the other hand, are moving forward with modern manufacturing in order to reduce product development and other costs, and this aspect would help to restore the growth rate. Another major factor, limiting the demand is the hazardous by-product that is released during the manufacturing of single crystal silicon wafers. As a result of the emissions of such toxic by-products, the governments in many countries have imposed stringent regulations, which further limits the single crystal silicon wafers market expansion.
