Rising demand for smartphones, artificial intelligence, and voice recognition technologies, as well as the replacement cycles and falling prices of various electronics devices, are some of the primary drivers of future consumer electronics growth. The surge in demand for consumer electronics is directly impacting the growth in MOCVD market, especially due to growth in demand for semiconductor market, which is a major end-user of MOCVD market. Most of the consumer electronics devices use semiconductor devices such as memory chips, microprocessors, commodity integrated circuit, etc., these semiconductors are grown using MOCVD as their raw material. Therefore, demand for consumer electronic goods have a positive effect on the growth of MOCVD market in recent years.

• Challenge: Health Concerns Associated with MOCVD Manufacturing

MOCVD precursors are very hazardous. They are also even toxic and torming by products of these precursors are toxic. Carbon contamination and unintentional hydrogen incorporation are a major problem in MOCVD. This results in unintentional p-type doping. So for proper doping, the proper V/III ratio is chosen and the suitable amount of carbon gas is injected to remove out CH3 or C2H5 groups for removing contamination. Also, as the human body absorbs organic compounds very easily, the metal organics are very easily absorbed by humans. Once in the body, the weak metal organic bond is easily broken, thus, poisoning the body with heavy metals that often cannot be easily removed by normal bodily functions. Therefore, one drawback of MOCVD is the toxic and explosive nature of the precursor gases, which makes them difficult to use.

• Trend: Increasing Penetration of AI applications

AI has grown in popularity as a result of greater data quantities, improved algorithms, and advancements in processing power and storage. Robotic process automation will shorten the time required to accomplish repeated operations, making the strategy less burdensome and more successful. AI-powered smartphone applications and other mediums will aid in determining what people desire. Data-driven insights result in more tailored solutions and better engagement. The benefits of AI would be driving the demand for AI devices which would require installation of components such as microelectronics, laser, LED lighting & chips, and even transistors, which would increase the demand for MOCVD used in manufacturing such components in coming future.

The COVID-19 Analysis:

The global metal organic chemical vapor deposition market benefited from the COVID-19 pandemic.
