Global Single Crystal Silicon Wafers (300Mm) Market Growth 2025-2031

Global Single Crystal Silicon Wafers (300Mm) Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Single Crystal Silicon Wafers (300mm) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 2127 million in 2025 to US$ 3590 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.1% from 2025 to 2031.

Semiconductor silicon wafers are key component of integrated circuits such as those used to power computers, cell phones, and a wide variety of other devices. A silicon wafer consists of a thin slice of silicon which can be treated in various ways, depending on the type of electronics that is being used. Silicon has a very high quality semiconductor, making it ideal for the production of such circuits.

300mm/12inch wafers are the largest segment, mainly covers the 300mm Polished Wafers and 300mm Epitaxial Wafers, mainly used in Memory, Logic, Analog.



Currently the 12inch/300mm Semiconductor wafers are mainly produced in Japan, USA, South Korea, Germany, China Taiwan, Singapore, and China mainland. Japan is the largest producer, hold a share 35%, followed by USA, South Korea, Europe, etc. In next few years, China will be the fast-growing producer of 12 inch wafers.

In the global market, 12-inch semiconductor silicon wafers are mainly dominated by five major manufacturers, including Shin-Etsu Chemical, SUMCO, GlobalWafers, Siltronic AG and SK Siltron. In 2023, the world's top 5 manufacturers account for more than 85% of the market share. Chinese local manufacturers are currently mainly National Silicon Industry Group (NSIG), Hangzhou Semiconductor Wafer (CCMC), Beijing ESWIN Technology Group, Shanghai Advanced Silicon Technology (AST), Zhonghuan Advanced Semiconductor Materials, Zhejiang Jinruihong Technologies and GRINM Semiconductor Materials, etc. The eight major manufacturers account for about 4.2% of the global market share. At present, the 12-inch semiconductor silicon wafers in the Chinese market still rely on imports, with a huge gap, opportunities and risks coexisting.

In terms of product types, 300mm polished wafers currently account for the highest proportion, with a share of 67% in 2023, followed by 300mm epitaxial wafers, 300mm SOI wafers and 300mm annealed wafers. Among them, 300mm SOI wafers are mainly dominated by France's Soitec.

From the perspective of product market application, Memory is the largest market, accounting for 52% of the market share in 2023, followed by logic chips, accounting for 46% of the market share. It is expected that in the next few years, driven by technologies such as AI, data centers, 5G, and IoT, the logic chip market will maintain faster growth. In recent years, the proportion of advanced processes in wafer manufacturing has been increasing. Judging from TSMC's revenue in recent years, in 2023, processes below 20 nanometers have accounted for 68% of the market share. It is expected that the proportion of advanced processes will further increase in the next few years.

For 12-inch semiconductor silicon wafers, downstream customers are mainly divided into two categories, Foundry and IDM. Among them, wafer foundry companies include TSMC, SMIC, GlobalFoundries, UMC, etc.; IDM companies mainly include Samsung, Intel, SK Hynix, Micron Technology, Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics, etc.
