Global Carrier Tapes for Semiconductor Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Carrier Tapes for Semiconductor market size is predicted to grow from US$ 817 million in 2025 to US$ 1252 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2025 to 2031.

Carrier tape is a type of strip product applied in the field of electronic packaging. It has a specific thickness and is evenly distributed with holes (also known as pockets) for placing electronic components and indexing holes for positioning along its length. Carrier tape can be categorized by material into paper carrier tape and plastic carrier tape. Paper tape has the advantages of low cost and easy handling, making it suitable for packaging chip components with a thickness not exceeding 1mm, and it is mainly used for passive components such as RCL. Plastic carrier tape is used for thicker components, suitable for active components like integrated circuits, semiconductor products, and thicker passive components. Plastic carrier tape products can be further divided into black plastic carrier tape and transparent plastic carrier tape. Black carrier tape is mainly used in high-end electronic components such as the semiconductor market due to its good electrical conductivity, while transparent plastic carrier tape is mainly used in the mid to low-end market.

Carrier tapes mainly include paper carrier tapes and plastic carrier tapes, which are mainly used in the downstream electronic component mounting industry, but there are obvious differences in specific uses. Paper carrier tapes can only be used for chip components with a thickness of less than 1mm, and chip components with a thickness of more than 1mm can only use plastic carrier tapes. In other words, paper carrier tapes are mainly used for passive components, while plastic carrier tapes are mainly used for active components. The semiconductor scope of this article mainly covers four aspects: integrated circuits (chips/processors, etc.), power discrete devices, optoelectronic devices, and sensors.

The production areas of plastic carrier tapes in various regions of the world are mainly distributed in the United States, China (including Taiwan), Japan, Southeast Asia and other countries. In terms of corporate share, the leading companies in the United States and Japan occupy most of the market share. There is still a large gap between Chinese plastic carrier tape companies and international leading companies (such as 3M and Advantek) in terms of production capacity, product performance, brand effect, etc., but as Chinese companies have made continuous breakthroughs in product development technology in recent years, some companies have also gained a certain market share from the leading plastic carrier tape companies, such as Zhejiang Jiemei Electronic Technology, whose semiconductor customers include Infineon, Huatian Technology, Nexperia, etc.

Currently, the two most commonly used types are PS and PC carrier tape. In 2024, the market share of these two types will exceed 80%. The core difference is the material. PC has good flame retardant properties, while PS has poor fire retardant properties and is flammable. It is expected that the share of PC carrier tape will remain at around 46% in the next few years.
