As per a report by TECHCET, the wafer industry is poised for a solid rebound in 2025. Global wafer shipments are anticipated to rise by 5% on a year-on-year basis, while revenue is projected to climb nearly 4%. Over the coming five years, the compound annual growth rate for shipments is forecast to reach 7%. The market will undergo a phase of both recovery and hurdles. Here, 300mm silicon wafers will emerge as the mainstay of growth. In contrast, wafers sized 200mm and below will encounter substantial competitive pressure, compelling suppliers to strike a balance among various factors.
