Semiconductors & Electronics

The semiconductor and electronics industry lies at the heart of modern technology, driving innovations across various sectors including electronics, automotive, healthcare, and telecommunications.

The ability to control a semiconductors ability to conduct electricity by introducing a small impurity called a dopant make it an extremely important part of the electronic devices we rely on every day. Semiconductors form the essential components in devices such as smartphones, computers, and medical equipment, making them indispensable in today’s digital world.

The semiconductor industry is a global powerhouse, valued at approximately $520 billion in 2023. After experiencing a brief contraction, the market is poised for robust growth, with projections indicating a significant recovery. In 2024, the industry is expected to grow by 13.1%, reaching $588 billion. This expansion will be driven by rising demand across sectors such as consumer electronics, electric vehicles, AI, and 5G technology. The memory sector, in particular, is forecasted to see a 40% surge, propelling the industry’s overall growth. The Americas and Asia-Pacific regions are anticipated to exhibit double-digit year-over-year growth, highlighting the broad-based global expansion of the market.

Whilst the market in the UK and Ireland is smaller when compared to global giants like the US and Taiwan, it is still growing rapidly with significant growth expected over the next decade driven by increasing demand in industries like automotive and green technologies.
