KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Yole Group announces a $31 billion total substrate market forecast by 2030, spanning AICS, GCS, SLP, and ED technologies.
  • By technology: organic AICS market recovers, reaching $14.2 billion in 2024, with a growing market share of build-up IC substrates – GCS is coming closer to commercialization with strategic investments and pilot lines set up globally – SLP shipments reached 392 million units in 2024, with smartphone applications dominating the demand, together with new markets like AR/VR – ED remains a niche but strategic technology for AI chips in terms of power delivery and signal integrity.
  • Global capacity expansion is driven by AI/HPC trends, CHIPS Act incentives, and Chinese investments.


Yole Group today announces the release of its annual Status of the Advanced IC Substrates Industry report, a comprehensive market and technology analysis covering organic IC substrates, Glass Core substrates, substrate-like PCBs, and Embedded Die technologies.

After a challenging 2023, the IC substrate ecosystem is showing promising signs of recovery. According to Yole Group’s latest projections, the combined market for advanced substrate technologies is expected to reach $31 billion by 2030, driven by AI and HPC, as well as broader penetration into consumer, automotive, and defense segments.

Market rebound across technologies

In 2024, the organic AICS market rebounded modestly to $14.2 billion, growing 1% YoY. Build-up IC substrates alone constituted a dominant market share that continues to grow.

This growth reflects sustained demand for larger, complex, high-ASP substrates capable of supporting generative AI, data center, and advanced package requirements, including finer interconnects, higher yield, and controlled lead times.

The GCS market remains nascent, but strategic investments across the U.S., Korea, and China are laying the foundation for future commercialization. Yole Group’s analysts forecast a multi-hundred million $ market value by 2030, driven mainly by HPC, AI, and telecommunications. Flagship initiatives like Absolics’ Georgia-based fab and a growing number of pilot lines reflect the long-term commitment to GCS technology by industry giants.

SLP solutions are projected to grow steadily to more than $5 billion by 2030, with a 4.5% CAGR. Dominated by smartphone adoption, SLPs bridge the gap between traditional PCBs and IC substrates, offering a scalable platform for AR/VR, wearables, and flagship mobile devices.

Despite its modest market size, ED technology remains a strategic enabler, especially in meeting power, thermal, and miniaturization requirements in automotive and industrial applications. Leading players, such as ASE, AT&S, Würth Elektronik, and Texas Instruments, are exploring diverse ED integration models, though a fragmented supply chain and high cost still hinder rapid expansion.

Capacity expansion and regional realignment

“The 2024–2025 period is marked by significant capacity investments across the global IC substrate landscape. Organic AICS manufacturing remains heavily concentrated in Asia, with dominant suppliers such as Unimicron, Ibiden, Shinko, Semco, and AT&S”, asserts Bilal Hachemi from Yole Group.

In response to geopolitical risks and the 2021 substrate shortage, China is investing heavily, and new players like Zhen Ding are committing up to $1 billion in capacity expansion.

Meanwhile, U.S. and European players are beginning to respond with support from government programs such as the CHIPS Act, though they currently lag far behind in production capacity. Importantly, the materials supply chain is diversifying, as new entrants challenge the dominance of build-up materials in the market, potentially easing bottlenecks and enhancing resilience.

In its 2025 report, Status of the Advanced IC Substrates Industry, Yole Group confirms the transformation of the IC substrate landscape. Advanced IC substrates are no longer passive packaging platforms. This ecosystem is becoming, step by step, a strategic enabler of semiconductor performance and system integration. Yole Group has been researching the semiconductor packaging industry for quite some time. With this report, Yole reaffirms its leadership in the understanding of those complex semiconductor markets and its ability to predict their evolution.
