The Executive Summary provides a snapshot of key findings of the report.

The chapter on theoretical overview of SiP defines SiP and explains its morphology. SiP is placed in the context of other advanced packaging techniques, and a wider view is presented of where semiconductor packaging itself fits in the device-synthesis chain. The chapter dwells on simple and compound semiconductors and elaborates their pros and cons. Further, a high-level view of the SiP market is provided.

The chapter on global markets for SiP-enabled chipsets provides a closer look at the global market for those chipsets. End-use applications are used as the principal classification factor, and individual end-application markets are broken down by region and die composition.

The chapter on regional analysis for the Americas presents an overview of the region and the overall market metrics, followed by analyses of individual major countries such as the U.S., Brazil, Canada and Mexico.

The chapter on regional analysis for EMEA presents an overview of the region and the overall market metrics, followed by analyses of individual major countries such as Germany, France, the U.K., Spain, Italy, Russia, the Netherlands and Turkey.

The chapter on regional analysis for APAC presents an overview of the region and the overall market metrics, followed by analyses of individual major countries such as China, Japan, India, South Korea and Indonesia.

The chapter on major stakeholders and key companies identifies the influential stakeholder categories and leading companies that dominate the market for SiP-based chipsets.

The U.S. Patent Analysis chapter analyzes the U.S. patents granted in the relevant areas of SiP. The chapter classifies the patents awarded according to categories such as: analog–digital converter (ADC), digital–analog converter (DAC), radiofrequency (RF), antenna and other communication-component-specific integration; assembly and integration end-to-end process; bond, resin, solder, interposer and lead frame; design and alignment; die stacking and side-by-side placement facilitation; end-application-specific innovation-data transmission; memory-component-specific innovation; passive component integration; performance testing and verification; and power management, heat sink, inductor and capacitor.
