Plastic Carrier Tape for Semiconductor Market Summary
Plastic carrier tape is one type of carrier tape, and the other is paper carrier tape. Carrier tape is a strip product used in the field of electronic packaging. It has a specific thickness, and holes for holding electronic components and positioning holes for indexing are evenly distributed along its length.
Carrier tape is used with tape or cover tape to carry and store a series of electronic components such as power devices and optoelectronic devices in the pockets of the carrier tape, and a closed package is formed by the carrier tape with tape or cover tape to protect electronic components from contamination and damage during transportation.
The width of the carrier tape is mainly 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, 24mm, 32mm, 44mm, 56mm, etc.
According to the different antistatic levels, carrier tapes can be roughly divided into conductive type, antistatic type (static dissipative type) and insulating type.
According to the molding characteristics, carrier tapes can be divided into embossed carrier tapes and stamped carrier tapes.
Plastic carrier tapes can be further divided into PC carrier tapes, PS carrier tapes, PP carrier tapes, ABS carrier tapes, PET carrier tapes and APET carrier tapes. Of course there are some composite carrier tapes.
Plastic carriers are mainly used in the semiconductor field for power devices (transistors, diodes), optoelectronic devices and integrated circuits.

Carriers tape mainly include paper carrier tape and plastic carrier tape, which are mainly used in the downstream electronic component mounting industry, but there are obvious differences in their specific uses. Paper carrier tape 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 tape. That is, paper carrier tape is mainly used for passive components, while plastic carrier tape is 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.
In 2023, the global Plastic Carrier Tape for Semiconductor market reached US$700 million. With the growth of downstream demand, it is expected that the Plastic Carrier Tape for Semiconductor market will reach US\(1,172 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.28% during the forecast period 2024-2030. The production areas of plastic carrier tape 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 in the hands of plastic carrier tape leading companies, such as Zhejiang Jiemei Electronic Technology, whose semiconductor customers include Infineon, Huatian Technology, Nexperia, etc. In terms of different types, the two commonly used ones are PS and PC carrier tape. In 2023, the market share of these two markets exceeded 80%. The core difference is mainly the material. PC has good flame-retardant properties, while PS has poor fire resistance and is flammable. It is expected that the proportion of PC carrier tape will remain at around 46% in the next few years. The downstream of plastic carrier tape is mainly used in semiconductors, optoelectronic devices and other fields. Among them, the semiconductor market is mainly dominated by packaging plants and power devices. In addition to being able to meet the needs of traditional packaging, packaging processing is also widely used in high-end advanced packaging (BGA, QFN, WCSP, etc.). In 2023, the semiconductor market accounted for about 73% of the market share, and it is expected to maintain its leading position in the next few years. Global plastic carrier tape companies are mainly distributed in the United States, Japan, mainland China and Taiwan. Core companies include 3M, Advantek, Shin-Etsu Polymer, Nissho Corporation, Zhejiang Jiemei Electronic Technology, NIPPO CO., LTD, YAC GARTER, etc. However, unlike paper carrier tape, plastic carrier tape has a relatively scattered market, with the top 5 accounting for 52.64% of the market share. However, in the high-end black plastic carrier tape market, the share is still mainly concentrated in the hands of 3M and Advantek. Figure.
