Sand to Silicon – How Semiconductors are Reimagining the Digital Future
The semiconductor industry revolves around the design, manufacture, and distribution of chips used as inputs for many other industries such as industrials, healthcare, transportation, and consumer electronics. The industry expansion can be related to the rising global use of consumer electronics. Moreover, the growing adoption of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and machine learning (ML) are uncovering new business channels.
The semiconductors innovation radar report will help enterprises to understand which emerging technologies are impacting their sector and how various companies are implementing them to meet various challenges. This innovation landscape report on semiconductor technologies by GlobalData covers some of the real-world examples related to the implementation of various technologies to advance the manufacture of semiconductor chips.
Semiconductor Industry Value Chain
GlobalData splits the semiconductor value chain into five layers which include pre-competitive basic research, design, fabrication, assembly & testing, and end products. The semiconductor manufacturing industry is a niche owing to the economies of scale. It is noteworthy that the high entry barriers and capital intensity of this industry demand significant technological specialization across value chains.
Pre-competitive basic research: The key layers of pre-competitive basic research are fundamental materials, chemical processes, and others. For instance, the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and University of California (UC) Berkeley scientists have developed a fully recyclable and biodegradable printed circuit. This innovation could eliminate wearable technology and other flexible electronics from ending up in landfills, reducing the risks heavy metal waste brings to human health and the environment.
Design: The key layers of design are electronic design automation (EDA) software and intellectual property. For instance, German deep tech startup Celus has launched the Engineering Platform to seamlessly integrate into the existing current environment for electronics engineering and automate the entire design process. The platform automatically converts requirements and functionalities into fully working electronics solutions using AI and complex algorithms.

Reasons to Buy
- No surprise that technology has been a driving force in business transformation for years, but the term ‘emerging technologies’ has all of the sudden become the key catalyst to drive the next wave of innovation across sectors. The sense of urgency weighs differently across different sectors, where the direct customer-facing sectors are at the forefront compared to other capital-intensive sectors. Companies in one sector can take cues from successful innovations in other sectors to either draw analogies with existing products, services, and processes or transfer strategic approaches for a revolutionary transformation.
- Against this backdrop, enterprises need to understand which emerging technologies are impacting their sector and how various companies are implementing them to meet various challenges.
- The innovation landscape report on semiconductor technologies published by GlobalData covers some of the key trends and real-world examples related to the implementation of various technologies to advance the manufacture of semiconductor chips.

Testimonial
“The GlobalData platform is our go-to tool for intelligence services. GlobalData provides an easy way to access comprehensive intelligence data around multiple sectors, which essentially makes it a one-for-all intelligence platform, for tendering and approaching customers.
GlobalData is very customer orientated, with a high degree of personalised services, which benefits everyday use. The highly detailed project intelligence and forecast reports can be utilised across multiple departments and workflow scopes, from operational to strategic level, and often support strategic decisions. GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”
“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”
Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.
Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.
