DBA CERAMIC SUBSTRATE MARKET OVERVIEW

The global DBA ceramic substrate market size was USD 0.016 billion in 2024 & the market is expected to reach USD 0.18 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 30.7% during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the DBA Ceramic Substrate Market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

DBA Ceramic Substrate is a highly heat-dissipating insulating substrate that is bonded on both sides with high-purity aluminium circuits. Because of the unique bonding technology of ceramics and aluminium, this substrate has exceptional stability against temperature cycles. By connecting components on the upper side and a cooling structure on the lower side, the DBA board can be utilized as a module. DBA is a novel metal-attached ceramic substrate that was developed using DBC manufacturing technology. It's a substrate made by glueing aluminium and ceramic layers together. It has a structure comparable to DBC and can etch various patterns such as PCB. Mitsubishi Materials of Japan is the world's leading producer of DBA substrates.

DBC, or Direct Bond Copper, is a method of directly bonding copper and a ceramic substance. An aluminium oxide (Al2O3) or aluminum-nitride (AlN) ceramic base is directly bonded to two layers of copper in a conventional DBC. The traditional thick, heavy copper bases can be replaced with the super-thin base created by the DBC process. Power modules with DBC bases have much lower thermal resistance values and increased power cycling capabilities (up to 50,000 cycles) due to fewer layers and a silicon-compatible expansion coefficient.

COVID-19 IMPACT

COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the supply chain hence reduced market growth

COVID-19 has an impact on several major economies, including China, the United States, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, and India. According to a study conducted by the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, two-thirds of US businesses operating in China anticipate weaker demand as a result of COVID-19 due to a lack of suitable workers. The temporary closure of big brand retail outlets was expected to have an impact on sales of numerous technology products. Aside from that, COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on the global supply chains of key electrical brands. China is a major producer and exporter of various electronics input sources, which are mostly utilized to manufacture final electronic goods. Because of its exceptional electrical insulation, high thermal conductivity, outstanding solderability, and high strength, DBA ceramic substrate is used in the fabrication of electronics. During the epidemic, all manufacturing units were shut down, and there was little demand for this type of employment. During COVID-19, demand for DBA ceramic substrates was low since people were mainly concerned with their health and purchased basics for their dwellings.

LATEST TRENDS

Better domain innovations to drive market growth

DCB ceramic substrates have excellent heat conductivity, great solderability, strength, and electrical insulation. As a result, it's thought of as an integral material for the planning and technology of linking dynamical semiconductor electronic circuits, and additionally suitable as the foundation for the technology "Chip On Board" (COB), which represents the rising utility of DCB ceramic substrates in the coming years. This will significantly increase the size of the DBC ceramic substrate market.

Growing demand for superior architecture and the miniaturisation of electronic gadgets are driving market growth

Rapid research and development, as well as technical breakthroughs, have created a demand for reliable and small electronic gadgets. As a result, there is a growing need for miniaturised electrical gadgets. Many electronic devices have evolved due to the advancement of semiconductor technology, which necessitated the usage of hybrid circuits embedded on ceramic substrates. Ceramic substrates provide one of three advantages: hermetic sealing, heat conduction, and miniaturisation. The use of thin film ceramic substrates has resulted in the miniaturisation of numerous electronic devices, including smartphones, tablet computers, e-book readers, and video cameras, which are made up of a wide range of hybrid circuits. Glass epoxy resin substrates were initially employed as hybrid circuit substrates. Ceramic substrate technology aided in the reduction of electronic device size by scaling down electrical hybrid circuits. The increasing demand for these electrical gadgets is projected to drive the ceramic substrates market.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Variable raw material quality is limiting market growth

Some companies or brand names produce mediocre goods. They make it cheaply by reusing raw materials. Consumers grow sceptical about inferior products, which is detrimental to the company. This predominantly B2B industry is critical for supply chains and trust development.
