Advanced Packaging Outlook Report
Unveiling the Next Generation of Semiconductor Packaging
Advanced packaging is revolutionizing semiconductor design and manufacturing, optimizing power, performance, and area (PPAC), while reducing costs. As AI continues to push the need for larger substrates with more layers and I/Os, cutting-edge packaging methods are becoming more critical than ever. Interposers are currently the top choice for high-performance packaging, but their sustainability is in question due to high costs. Meanwhile, panel-level packaging and glass substrates are gaining traction for their ability to reduce production costs—though challenges remain around warpage, uniformity, and yield.
As we look ahead to 2025, the automotive sector and photonics markets are poised for significant growth, opening new opportunities for innovation in advanced packaging.

Five Key Market Expectations for 2025
The semiconductor landscape is rapidly evolving, with critical innovations driving market momentum in 2025. From AI and datacenter demands to automotive advancements, the adoption of cutting-edge packaging technologies is essential to meeting the performance needs of tomorrow’s electronics.
Here are the five key market trends to watch:
Interposers for AI and Datacenter
AI’s rapid growth has increased demand for datacenter processors paired with high-bandwidth memory (HBM). While silicon interposers remain essential, companies like SK hynix are exploring methods to reduce costs through direct stacking techniques and substrate innovation.
Panel-Level Packaging (PLP)
FO-PLP (Fan-Out Panel-Level Packaging) offers increased area utilization and cost efficiency over wafer-level packaging. With companies like Samsung and NVIDIA adopting PLP for next-gen AI chips and consumer electronics, this technology promises better performance, reduced waste, and improved thermal management.
Automotive Chiplets
The automotive industry’s adoption of chiplet technology is accelerating, particularly in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving. Chiplets allow for faster time-to-market and improve reliability, safety, and security across multiple designs.
Silicon Photonics
As the demand for bandwidth in AI applications grows, silicon photonics will enable faster optical communication. Companies like TSMC are integrating photonics into 3D packaging to offer better performance and lower power consumption.
Glass Substrates
Glass substrates are emerging as a cost-effective alternative for advanced packaging. They provide better thermal stability, higher interconnect density, and increased reliability, making them ideal for automotive, industrial, and AI chip applications.
