Polymeric Materials for Advanced Electronic Packaging Research Report 2026: $1.5 Billion in Revenue in 2024 Projected to Grow at a CAGR of 13% to 2036 with Growth Anticipated in 2.5D/3D Packaging

Dublin, Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "The Global Market for Polymeric Materials for Advanced Electronic Packaging 2026-2036" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The report delivers comprehensive market forecasts segmented by material category (dielectric, mold compound, underfill, TBDB), packaging platform (SiP, FOWLP, 2.5D, 3D, embedded die), end-market application (mobile & consumer electronics, HPC & AI, automotive & ADAS, telecom & infrastructure, IoT & edge computing, AR/VR), and geographic region spanning the decade from 2026 through 2036.

The polymeric materials market for advanced electronic packaging has emerged as a critical enabler of next-generation semiconductor technologies, reaching >$1.5 billion in revenue in 2024 projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of >13% to 2036. Detailed revenue and volume projections enable stakeholders to identify the fastest-growing market segments, with particular emphasis on the explosive growth anticipated in 2.5D/3D packaging driven by artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and generative AI applications.

This rapid expansion reflects the semiconductor industry's fundamental shift toward advanced packaging architectures driven by the physical limitations of traditional transistor scaling and the insatiable demand for higher performance, greater functionality, and improved energy efficiency. The market's growth is propelled by several transformative semiconductor megatrends, including high-performance computing (HPC), generative AI, automotive ADAS systems, 5G/6G communications, AR/VR applications, and edge AI deployment.

Mobile and consumer electronics currently dominate market volumes and revenues, but telecom and infrastructure segments are experiencing the fastest growth, driven by hyperscale data center buildouts supporting AI workloads. Among packaging platforms, System-in-Package (SiP) remains the largest consumer of polymeric materials, while 2.5D and 3D packaging represent the fastest-growing segments with CAGRs exceeding 28-35%, reflecting the industry's embrace of chiplet architectures and heterogeneous integration for advanced processors. The polymeric materials supply chain exhibits significant concentration. Geographic concentration is even more pronounced.

The industry faces critical technical challenges, particularly coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch between polymers and silicon, which drives warpage and reliability concerns in large, thin packages. Since polymers expand significantly more than silicon under thermal cycling, material developers are pursuing application-specific formulations that balance competing requirements: low CTE, high thermal conductivity, low dielectric constant, superior adhesion, fine-pitch patterning capability, and increasingly, PFAS-free compositions to meet evolving environmental regulations. The convergence of AI-driven computing demands, regulatory pressures for sustainable materials, and the technical complexity of 3D heterogeneous integration positions polymeric materials as indispensable enablers of semiconductor innovation through 2036 and beyond.

Technology analysis examines the evolution of material chemistries including polyimides (PI), polybenzoxazole (PBO), benzocyclobutene (BCB), epoxy-based systems, and acrylic resin composites, evaluating critical performance parameters such as coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), dielectric constant (Dk), dissipation factor (Df), glass transition temperature (Tg), thermal conductivity, and moisture absorption. The report explores emerging innovations in panel-level packaging, co-packaged optics (CPO), sustainable bio-based polymers, and AI-driven material design optimization.

Supply chain intelligence reveals the competitive landscape dominated by Japanese suppliers commanding approximately 80% market share, with detailed profiles of over 90 companies including material suppliers, packaging service providers, semiconductor manufacturers, and equipment vendors. Market share analysis identifies the top players across each material category, highlighting strategic positioning, technological capabilities, geographic presence, and competitive advantages. The report examines critical industry trends including PFAS-free material development, carbon emission reduction initiatives, recycled material integration, and regulatory compliance requirements.
