Global Low Temperature Co Fired Ceramic Substrate Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029
The global low temperature co-fired ceramic substrate market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.87%, reaching a market size of US$14.756 billion in 2029 from US$8.68 billion in 2022.
Low-temperature co-fired Ceramics (LTCC) are multilayer glass-ceramic substrates that are co-fired with low resistance metal conductors at a low firing temperature (less than 1000°C) such as silver or copper. Electronic components and substrates that are compact, light, and deliver high speed have become popular.
Market Drivers:Rising demand from various end-use sectors-
Telecommunications, medical, automotive, industrial, defense, and aerospace are among the end-use industries driving demand for co-fired ceramics. The robust benefits profile that co-fired ceramics have over conventional printed circuit boards in terms of improved thermal stability and the nature of their chemical inactivity is a fundamental factor for these sectors preference for LTCC and HTCC. Increased demand for high-end computing systems and nanotechnology would open up new industry prospects.
Various advantages-
The advantages of LTCC, such as low-loss dielectric materials, ease of integrating embedded passive components, and reliable multilayer capabilities have increased their demand. Ceramic material utilized in LTCC has a lower loss tangent than standard PCB material. These small devices may be made using LTCC at a low cost, which has boosted demand for radiofrequency modules, which are widely used in smartphones, personal computers, portable devices, and AR/VR applications.
Market Restraint-
Technical Issue-
Shrinkage-related problems affecting LTCC Performance and the low thermal conductivity of LTCC are expected to stifle the expansion of the Low-Temperature Co-fired ceramics substrate market in the projected period.
