Interposer Market size is estimated to reach over USD 1,334.25 Million by 2030 from a value of USD 322.04 Million in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 19.7% from 2023 to 2030.
An interposer is a physical component used in electronic systems to provide connectivity or signal translation between two different interfaces or technologies. They act as an intermediary to provide electrical connections between the Integrated Circuit (IC) and the circuit board to address electrical, mechanical, or thermal differences by allowing an electrical signal to efficiently pass through the board. Additionally, as per the analysis, they also facilitate signal routing, power distribution, and thermal dissipation for the IC, thus enhancing the system's performance and reliability.
Wearable devices including smartwatches, fitness trackers, and augmented reality (AR) glasses rely heavily on sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, heart rate monitors, and environmental sensors to gather data and provide accurate measurements. They facilitate the integration of sensors with other components, enabling seamless connectivity, signal routing, and power distribution within the device. Additionally, wearable devices require fast and reliable data transfer for performing tasks including transmitting health data and receiving notifications. These components are considered ideal for supporting high-speed signaling between different chips ensuring efficient data transmission and reducing latency issues.
Furthermore, wearable devices operate on limited power sources including small batteries. These device aid in optimizing power delivery within the device, enabling efficient power management, and reduced power loss, thus enhancing overall power efficiency. Consequently, the ability of these devices to provide high-speed transfer at low power contributes significantly in driving the market. For instance, in November 2021, according to International Data Corporation (IDC), in India the wearable market grew by 93.8% in the third quarter of 2021, shipping approximately 23.8 million units of devices.
Interposers enable the stacking and integration of various chips including processors, memory, sensors, and communication modules, allowing greater functionality and performance in miniaturized devices. Miniaturization leads to higher input/output (I/O) ratio within a limited space and these device provide a means to accommodate higher I/O density by offering additional layers for signal routing and electrical connections. Furthermore, with miniaturization, the distance between components and the length of interconnects decreases, leading to difficulty in maintaining signal integrity and delivering power efficiently. These devices address such issues by providing shorter signal paths and optimizing power distribution within the device, thus contributing significantly in driving the interposer market growth. For instance, in June 2021, researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology developed a 3D functional interposer that contains an embedded capacitor to offer miniaturization. The device consumes less power and reduces the wire length between the capacitor and chips, hence contributing notably in accelerating the market trend.
The high cost of production of these devices is the key factor responsible for hampering the expansion of the market. The components utilized in the manufacturing of these devices including a through-silicon via (TSV) and through glass vias (TGVs) are expensive. The high cost prevents small enterprises from investing in interposer-based solutions and compels the user to seek alternatives. Consequently, the high production cost limits the adoption of these devices by small and medium organizations, which in turn, restraints the market.
The roll out of 5G network is expected to fuel the demand of these devices and create lucrative opportunities and trends in the future. 5G networks offer higher data transfer rates compared to previous generations with increased bandwidth that requires advanced chipsets, processors, and communication modules for handling the higher data throughput. These devices play a crucial role in integrating high-performance components, ensuring efficient signal routing and power delivery within the device. Additionally, 5G networks utilize higher frequency bands, including millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequencies, for increased data capacity and faster communication. The mmWave components require specific design considerations and integration techniques due to the higher frequencies. These devices provide the necessary connectivity solutions and support the integration of mmWave chips and antennas, thus projected to create potential interposer market opportunities and trends in the upcoming years.
