Global Semiconductor Large Silicon Wafer Market Growth 2025-2031
The global Semiconductor Large Silicon Wafer market size is predicted to grow from US$ 14550 million in 2025 to US$ 23620 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% from 2025 to 2031.
Large silicon wafers are the only core materials that cost the most (over a third) to make.Demand for large silicon wafers is growing rapidly, helped by high-end demand for semiconductors.
As the base material of integrated circuits, silicon wafers have the characteristics of controllable resistivity and oxygen-carbon content. The single crystal ingot undergoes slicing, lapping, polishing, cleaning and other processes to obtain a silicon wafer with a specific thickness & geometric parameters and a clean surface.
Silicon wafers are the substrate material for semiconductors and are used in all kinds of devices, from smartphones, home appliances, automobiles and other devices that we see in our daily lives, to cutting-edge fields such as AI and IoT.
The global Silicon Wafers are mainly produced in US, Germany, Italy, Finland, Japan, South Korea, Mainland China, China Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia, etc. Japan is the largest producer with a share over 40%.
The major global manufacturers of Silicon Wafer include Shin-Etsu Chemical, SUMCO, GlobalWafers, SK Siltron, Siltronic AG, FST Corporation, National Silicon Industry Group (NSIG), Zhonghuan Advanced Semiconductor Materials, Wafer Works Corporation, Zhejiang Jinruihong Technologies, and Hangzhou Semiconductor Wafer (CCMC), etc. In 2022, the world's top five vendors accounted for approximately 82 % of the revenue.
Currently the 300mm wafers are key segment, holds a share about 75% in terms of value. The 300mm wafers are mainly used in Memory and Logic/MPU; while the 8inch and small diameter wafers are mainly used in Analog, Discrete Device & Sensor.
In next five years, China will play more important role in semiconductor market, more and more companies are entering the semiconductor market, like in silicon wafers, potential entrants include Sichuan Vastity Semiconductor, Anhui Yisemi Semiconductor, and ThinkonSemi ,etc.
