Taiwan and China are the leading semiconductor manufacturing countries in Asia Pacific. Rising GDP per capita in developing countries, such as India and China, is resulting in a large consumer base for high-tech consumer electronics, including smartphones, smart wearables, personal computers, television sets, and washing machines. China is a leading manufacturer of integrated chip packaging products, while South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan are among the major contributors to the regional system on module market growth. Many APAC countries are characterized by the mass production of electronic devices required for consumer electronics, automotive components, telecommunication devices, and other industrial machinery. An increasing number of electronics manufacturing companies in India and China due to the strong availability of skilled human resources is driving the system on module market growth. According to the Cisco annual internet report, Asia Pacific would mark ~3.1 billion Internet users by 2023. Further, according to the Ericsson Mobility Report, their mobile connections in Asia Pacific are expected to rise from ~4 billion to ~4.6 billion by 2021.

The APAC system on module market share is segmented into India, China, Japan, Australia, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. India is one of the leading electronics manufacturing countries in Asia Pacific, which adopts the advanced technology owing to the increased spending capacity of consumers. The electronic industry is witnessing stronger growth in the region as demand for advanced solutions has increased. Strong penetration of smartphones, smartwatches, and other electronic devices is driving the market growth in the country. A single mobile manufacturer that has achieved such a high target is expected to show potential for SoM in package technology in the Indian smartphone market. Companies such as Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi, and Vivo are expanding their presence by setting up new plants in India. Furthermore, the increased use of digital technologies such as kiosks and robots at airports is further boosting the market growth. For instance, Vistara, a joint venture between Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, has developed RADA, a unique artificial intelligence-based robot, to automate mundane jobs and improve customer experience. Such developments in the field of automating are projected to contribute toward the system on module market growth.

Strategic Insights

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on System on Module Market

The electronic & semiconductor market in the MEA has remained broadly resilient in the financial pressures resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the pandemic severely impacted the supply chain and small and medium-sized enterprises. The risk of hostile foreign involvement in the regional supply chain in the MEA has increased due to financial vulnerability. The manufacturing sector is hindered owing to the cancellation of orders, product delays, and higher price pressures. Logistic and economic hurdles have disrupted sales, and product development, hampering the SoM manufacturers by rising costs and production irregularities. Shortages in semiconductor microchips, embedded system solutions, and system on modules have delayed automobile deliveries, led to a supply shortfall in home appliances, and increased the cost of smart devices, which has hampered the market growth.
