The global FinFET-technology market will grow by 41.89 percent during 2017-2021, according to a new report.

Beancounters at Research and Markets have added up some numbers and divided by their shoe size and worked dashed out a report with the racey title "Global FinFET Technology Market 2017-2021”.

The report considers the sales of FinFET technology process node in different sizes across applications. It covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

For those who came in late, FinFET is a 3D transistor and is integral for the design and development of processors. FinFET technology is a nonplanar, double gate transistor, built on a silicon on insulator substrate. FinFET is a 3D structure that has subdivided resistance and capacitance when compared to a planar structure. FinFETs have better device optimisation in comparison with planar technology.

One trend in the market is innovation in channel materials for development of 10nm and beyond FinFET chips. The 14nm FinFET-based chips use silicon channels that are not stable beyond this scale. With the 10nm technology, SiGe-based FinFET technology demonstrated enhanced performance, providing elegant solutions for CMOS technology.

According to the report, one driver in the market is strategic collaborations and M&A.

The strategic collaborations between the top players in the market are driving the global FinFET technology market. Strategic collaborations and M&A allow vendors to gain access to new technologies. This enables vendors to develop the ecosystem and design novel products with innovative technologies.

The report states that one challenge in the market is fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rate. Fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rate have a huge impact on the revenue realized by companies.

Vendors in the global FinFET technology market have their presence in several countries. Therefore, fluctuations in the exchange rate affects not only the selling price of the product but also the costs and expenses of the company and its foreign subsidiaries.
