Currently, the semiconductor assembly & testing services market across the world is mainly driven by factors such as increasing demand for mobility and connectivity in the consumer electronic products. An increasing demand for connected devices worldwide including smartphones and tablets having connectivity and multimedia capabilities are fuelling the demand for higher packaging technologies, setting up potential revenue opportunity for the SATS market. Additional features offered by SATS providers over in-house testing and packaging capabilities is also one of the primary reasons for the market growth. Additionally, SATS providers facilitate a more efficient supply chain and in-turn reduces time-to-market for a product, therefore SATS providers are becoming the primary choice of integrated design manufacturers.

Increased use of safety systems in the automobile industry is also one of the factors contributing to the growth of the SATS market. . However, factors such as the high capital requirement for offering higher end packaging solutions, fluctuations in exchange rates, and volatility in the market are expected to constrain the growth of the SATS market.

On the basis of services, the semiconductor assembly & testing services market has been segmented into assembly & packaging services and testing services. The assembly & packaging services segment is expected to account for 79.4% share of the global Semiconductor assembly & testing services market by 2015 end and is anticipated to increase at a CAGR of 4.9%, during the forecast period (2015–2021).

The Assembly and Packaging services segment is further classified on the basis of packaging solutions (interconnecting technologies) which includes copper and gold wire bonding, copper clip, flip chip, wafer level packaging, and TSV. Copper and gold wire bonding accounted for the 55.5%share of the assembly and packaging services segment in 2014. The wafer level packaging (interconnecting technology) segment in the global SATS market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period.

On the basis of application, the semiconductor assembly & testing services market is segmented into communications, computing & networking, consumer electronics, industrial and automotive electronics. Among these, communication segment dominated the market in 2014 and is expected to account for 49.4% share of the global semiconductor assembly & testing services market by 2015 end. This segment is expected to expand at CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period.

The semiconductor industry is highly volatile in nature. Leading market participants in this industry are fabless companies that focus on leveraging their resources in designing and utilizes its expertise in enhancing the performance of the chipsets or ICs. Thus, most of the semiconductor assembly, testing, and packaging related services are outsourced by fabless companies to third party providers known as Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test Services (OSATS) Providers. Moreover, the shift of semiconductor processing technology to the larger wafers and smaller feature sizes has increased the cost of building a state-of-the-art wafer fabrication factory. High CAPEX involved in wafer fabrication and its associated packaging and test operations has enforced semiconductor companies to remain fabless and instead focus on their core business. As a result, SATS providers have witnessed high demand in the past and are expected to be sole choice for fabless companies during the foreseeable future.

The global semiconductor assembly & testing services market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 4.7% during the period 2015-2021 to reach US$ 39,050.7 Mn by 2021.
