There is an increase in the demand of semiconductors as it is widely used in the electronic industry, automotive industry and telecommunication industry because of which there is direct impact on the components used in the semiconductor industry including wafer UV film. The increase of wafer UV film also depends upon the launch of the 5G network in the telecommunication industry as these films support the technology required in this industry. Overall, the combination of technological advancement and rise in industries fuel up the market growth for wafer UV film.

COVID-19 IMPACT

 Market Growth Restrained by Pandemic due to Lockdown

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

The Covid-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the global wafer UV film market. The supply chains were totally disturbed and business suffered heavy losses that reduced the consumer spending limits. Lockdown affected the manufacturing units as they were shut down and there was no production going on. Due to social distancing there was shortage of workforce which affected the ongoing operations in the industries. Industries such as electronics, telecommunication and automotive were shut down which impacted components used in the semiconductor manufacturing. However, the market may eventually recover but the pandemic has disrupted the wafer UV film market.
