Interposer and Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging Market was valued at over USD 30 billion in 2023 and is estimated to register a CAGR of over 12% between 2024 & 2032.
Interposers serve as substrates facilitating advanced packaging, linking Integrated Circuits (ICs) with varied form factors or technologies for heterogeneous integration. Fan-out WLPs entail directly mounting and interconnecting ICs on a wafer, which boosts integration density and performance in compact configurations. Both techniques enhance device functionality and miniaturization in semiconductor packaging. The need for increased performance and power efficiency is driving the use of fan-out WLP and interposer technologies in data centers. Higher integration density, better signal integrity, and lower power consumption are made possible by these cutting-edge packaging solutions, making them ideal for high-performance computing applications in data centers, where performance and efficiency are essential for keeping up with the rising computational demands.

For instance, in November 2021, Samsung launched Hybrid-Substrate Cube (H-Cube) technology, a 2.5D packaging solution that applies silicon interposer technology and hybrid-substrate structure specialized for semiconductors for HPC, AI, data center, and network products that require high-performance and large-area packaging technology.
The need for interposer and fan-out WLP technologies is attributed to the increasing use of advanced packaging solutions in wearables and smartphones. These solutions meet the growing demand from consumers for more powerful, smaller devices with advanced features such as AI capabilities, high-resolution displays, and connectivity options. They also enable higher integration densities, improved performance, and enhanced functionality in compact form factors.
Thermal management is a significant challenge for the interposer and fan-out WLP market. As electronic devices become smaller and more powerful, managing heat dissipation becomes more complicated. Inadequate thermal management can result in reliability issues, performance degradation, and device failure, stifling market adoption as customers demand solutions that effectively address these challenges.
The growing demand for miniaturization and increased integration density in electronic devices is augmenting the use of advanced packaging solutions. Interposer and fan-out WLP technologies allow for the integration of multiple chips into a small form factor, meeting the needs of compact, more powerful devices. The proliferation of smartphones, wearables, IoT devices, and other electronics with advanced capabilities spurs the demand for interposer and fan-out WLP solutions. These technologies provide improved performance, reliability, and power efficiency, meeting the changing needs of consumers and industries. For instance, in October 2023, Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (ASE) introduced the Integrated Design Ecosystem (IDE), a collaborative design toolset designed to systematically enhance advanced package architecture throughout its VIPack platform. This innovative approach allows a seamless transition from single-die SoC to multi-die disaggregated IP blocks including chiplets and memory for integration using 2.5D or advanced fanout structures.
The rising complexities of semiconductor designs and the growing demand for heterogeneous integration will propel market growth. Interposer and fan-out WLP technologies allow for the integration of various types of chips, such as logic, memory, and sensors, into a single package, resulting in seamless connectivity and enhanced functionality. Overall, the interposer and fan-out WLP industry is expected to grow further due to the surging demand for advanced packaging solutions across a wide range of industries and applications.
