Research Summary
An 8-inch wafer refers to a circular slice of semiconductor material, usually silicon, that has a diameter of approximately 8 inches (200mm). Wafers are the base material used in the fabrication of integrated circuits (ICs) and other semiconductor devices. The 8-inch wafer size has been widely used in the semiconductor industry as a standard for manufacturing ICs. The larger wafer diameter allows for more chips to be produced in a single batch, leading to higher fabrication efficiency and cost-effectiveness. It also enables the integration of more transistors and circuitry on each chip, contributing to increased performance and functionality in electronic devices. As technology advances, the semiconductor industry is also transitioning to larger wafer sizes such as 12-inch (300mm) to meet the growing demand for more powerful and advanced semiconductor devices.
According to DIResearch's in-depth investigation and research, the global 8-inch Wafer market size was valued at XX Million USD in 2024 and is projected to reach XX Million USD by 2032, with a CAGR of XX% (2025-2032). Notably, the China market has changed rapidly in the past few years. By 2024, China's market size is expected to be XX Million USD, representing approximately XX% of the global market share. By 2032, it is anticipated to grow further to XX Million USD, contributing XX% to the worldwide market share.
