VAPOR CHAMBER MARKET OVERVIEW

The global vapor chamber market was valued at USD 1.24 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to USD 1.42 billion in 2025, reaching USD 4.1 billion by 2033, with a projected CAGR of 14.2% during the forecast period.

A vapour Chamber is a type of planer heat pipe that can distribute heat in two dimensions. They are primarily employed in applications requiring strong heat flux or two-dimensional spreading. Vapor Chamber technology allows higher TDP CPUs (or overclocked states) to be efficiently and effectively cooled to acceptable operating temperatures, hence prolonging component and product life. The wick design in the vapour chamber is filled with coolant. To transmit heat, the coolant changes phase from liquid to gas and back again when heated.

A vapour chamber, like a heatsink, is a component used to distribute heat. The heat sink, which is typically packed within, is structurally transformed to a hollow structure, and a volatile liquid is sealed in the empty area. This increases the efficiency of heat dissipation across heat sinks. The mechanism is as follows: heat from the heat source vaporises the liquid, the vapour flows across the gap to the heat sink side, where heat is released and returned to the liquid, and the cycle is repeated. Although the mechanism of vapour chambers is similar to that of heat pipes, which are also used to disperse heat, vapour chambers have the benefit of being easier to miniaturise and are now tiny enough to be incorporated in smartphones.

VAPOR CHAMBER MARKET KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Lockdown Distorts the market

The epidemic of COVID-19 has prompted governments all around the world to emphasise medical services. As a result, governments are redirecting the majority of their funds to the healthcare sector, undermining government expenditures and incentives for the electronics sector. Furthermore, the nationwide lockout forced the vapour chamber manufacturing factories to curtail their whole operations. The COVID-19 outbreak has slowed efforts and initiatives involving the development of electronics and vapour chambers. Furthermore, the outbreak degrades the enterprise's corporate operations as well as the market as a whole. This has an impact on the industry.

LATEST TRENDS

Launch of new products, mergers, and acquisitions to stimulate market expansion

PC gamers are infamous for demanding devices that push performance limitations, whether it's the CPU, graphics card, or memory modules. What could be better than being able to run a taxing programme at a higher resolution, firing an additional round of ammo before your opponent, or having the nicest looking gaming system around? The need for speed drives gamers to seek for the quickest, most reliable components, which are subsequently overclocked. The increased heat necessitates more robust thermal solutions where every degree counts. The most popular option for performance memory is a basic aluminium spreader. The thermal efficiency and mass production yield rates of one-piece vapour chambers had been perfected by manufacturers. Unlike heat pipes, these devices may be made thinner while still enabling enough vapour movement. They differ from standard two-piece vapour chamber designs in terms of both cost and thickness.  Thus, the process of developing new launches, mergers, and acquisitions is a major trend that is creating opportunity for the industry to flourish. The market's overall expansion is primarily the result of these recent changes.

• Integration with AI and Edge Devices: The adoption of vapor chambers in AI-integrated and edge computing devices has increased by 38% in the past two years, driven by the need to dissipate over 100W of heat generated in compact enclosures, according to the Taiwan Ministry of Economic Affairs

• Miniaturization for Smartphones and Wearables: As per data from the International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (iNEMI), vapor chambers as thin as 0.4 mm are now used in 85% of premium smartphones launched in 2024, compared to only 53% in 2020, due to rising demands for thermal efficiency in slim devices.

By Application

The market is divided into Phone, Other mobile devices and other categories based on application.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increased adoption of smartphones that Boosts the Market

Thermal management, specifically heat dissipation, has become more important for tiny electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and so on, as well as power semiconductor devices, ECUs (electronic control units), and even big industrial machines. A smartphone is a common application for taking use of the benefits of a miniaturised vapour chamber. As increased performance for tiny devices improves owing to the launch of 5G services, smartphone makers have encountered the common difficulty of properly dissipating heat away from devices, leading them to employ vapour chambers as a solution. Consequently, during the predicted period, increased product dependence will support industry growth. As a result, the market will benefit from growth and increased adoption of smartphone. It will help the semiconductor and electronics sector flourish and accelerate the Vapor Chamber market growth.

• Rise in High-Performance Computing Devices: According to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), processors in data centers now generate up to 250W of heat per chip, necessitating advanced vapor chamber solutions in over 72% of new server deployments.

• Growing EV Battery Heat Dissipation Needs: As per European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), over 2.6 million electric vehicles were registered in Europe in 2023, 60% of which now utilize vapor chambers for thermal stability in battery management systems.

Growing Technological Advancements to support market expansion

Vapor chamber technologies provide an appealing solution for passive cooling in portable electronic equipment. Due to market trends in device power consumption and thickness, the efficacy of vapour chambers at ultrathin form factors and low heat dissipation rates must be evaluated with other heat spreading materials. A test facility is being built to characterise and analyse the performance of ultrathin vapour chambers that must reject heat to the environment via natural convection. The evaporator side and ambient temperatures are immediately monitored. Together, these elements are encouraging market expansion, which is raising business revenues. As a result, the market will grow thanks to the growing demand technological advancements.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Infrastructure and Product Customization Will Prevent Market Expansion

The latest performance improvements in electronic gadgets have made heat dispersion designs more challenging to achieve year after year. The target cooling temperature is really low. Increased technology use has resulted in increased heat generation.  The heat production density is really high. Regarding the third reason, the higher the temperature of heat gets the more concentrated the energy is created inside a compact region, even though the energy volume remains constant. As a result, as the concentration of components within a semiconductor device grows, so does the heat production density, making solutions increasingly challenging. This will be a significant impediment to market growth during the forecast period. This could be a significant issue limiting market growth. If this issue is resolved, the market will immediately begin to grow.

• High Manufacturing Complexity: Data from SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International) reveals that the fabrication of dual-layer vapor chambers can involve up to 12 precise machining steps, increasing lead times by 45% over conventional heat pipes.

• Material Cost Volatility: According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the average price of copper rose from $8,300 per metric ton in 2020 to over $9,700 in 2024, which increased vapor chamber costs by approximately 28%, affecting adoption among low-cost electronics makers.
