This study analyzes the global outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) market, which is set to experience substantial growth driven by the increasing adoption of advanced packaging technology across various industries. OSATs are third-party providers that specialize in assembly, testing, and packaging (ATP) services and cater to integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), foundries, and fabless chip manufacturers. They offer expertise in both advanced and conventional packaging and testing, benefiting from economies of scale due to their high-volume manufacturing capabilities. By outsourcing backend manufacturing processes to OSATs, chip manufacturers can focus on their core competencies and experience faster turnaround times and reduced time-to-market.
This study focuses on pure-play OSATs and foundries offering packaging and testing services, excluding IDMs with in-house packaging capabilities. The research delves into market estimates and forecasts based on the revenue generated by OSATs and foundries through ATP services. The study analyzes end-user industries in detail, outlining the potential OSATs hold for enabling transformative trends like electric mobility, 5G deployments, and the Internet of Things (IoT) through advanced packaging technologies. Additionally, it examines the impact of industry consolidation and geopolitical factors on the OSAT market.
The primary goal of this study is to identify growth opportunities emerging from this space and assess factors that may accelerate or hinder market growth. It examines market segments based on end-user industries, packaging technology, interconnect type, and geography. The research includes findings from discussions with industry experts and stakeholders in the OSAT ecosystem, complemented by secondary research, to estimate market size and forecast growth up to 2027. Some of the key study highlights include insights into demand patterns across different regions and a comprehensive analysis of each end-user sector's OSAT opportunities. Additionally, the study examines the capital expenditure trend, the distribution of OSAT facilities, and the value chain of OSAT. The report also contains a competitive analysis, providing market shares for major players.
