Several domestic and international companies such as Corning Incoroprted, Bullen, Samtec Inc. and many more are operating in the glass wafer market have a strong foothold in the North American region. In this region, the United States is a significant market for glass wafers. The North American region primarily supports the growth of the glass wafer market through effective manufacture and trade policies. The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which is also known as the (USMCA), is an agreement signed between the U.S., Canada and Mexico has eliminated most tariff and non-tariff barriers to free trade and investment between the three countries which will help in the trade between these countries.
In case of COVID-19, in North America, especially the US, witnessed an unprecedented rise in number of coronavirus cases, which led to the discontinuation of glass wafers manufacturing activities; other glass components manufacturing sector has subsequently impacted the demand for glass wafers during the early months of 2020. Moreover, decline in the overall manufacturing activities has led to discontinuation of glass equipment manufacturing projects, thereby reducing the demand for glass wafers. Similar trend was witnessed in other North American countries, i.e., Canada and Mexico. However, the countries are likely to overcome thus drop in demand with the economic activities regaining their pace, especially in the beginning of the 2021.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the North America glass wafers market. The North America glass wafers market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
