Semiconductor Fabrication Material Market Report 2026

The semiconductor fabrication material market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $65.14 billion in 2025 to $69.51 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing use of silicon wafers in electronics, early development of photomasks and photoresists, expansion of semiconductor demand across telecom devices, growing utilization of fabrication materials in automotive chips, rising adoption of wafer-level packaging technologies.

The semiconductor fabrication material market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $87.06 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for advanced lithography materials, development of specialty photoresists, growth of semiconductor content in evs and iot devices, expansion of fab capacity worldwide, increasing shift toward high-purity fabrication materials. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of AI-enhanced semiconductor fabrication, expansion of intelligent manufacturing in wafer processing, deployment of IoT-integrated cleanroom monitoring, advancement of cloud-based fab data analytics, integration of robotics in wafer-level material handling.

The rising demand for electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the semiconductor fabrication material market going forward. An electric vehicle is an automobile powered by electricity through one or more electric motors, rather than an internal combustion engine that uses gasoline or diesel. Demand for electric vehicles is increasing due to environmental concerns, government incentives, technological advancements, and lower operating costs. Semiconductor fabrication materials play a vital role in electric vehicles by enabling effective power management and control, improving energy conversion, enhancing battery performance, and optimizing overall electric system functionality. For instance, in October 2024, according to the European Environment Agency, a Denmark-based government agency, registrations of new battery electric cars increased by 37%, while newly registered plug-in hybrid cars declined by nearly 4%. In the same year, a total of 91,000 new electric vans were registered, the majority of which were battery electric. Therefore, the rising demand for electric vehicles is driving the growth of the semiconductor fabrication material market.

Major companies operating in the semiconductor fabrication material market are focusing on launching new products, such as Coronus DX, to strengthen their competitive position.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have raised costs for imported silicon wafers, photomasks, specialty chemicals, deposition materials, and process equipment essential for semiconductor fabrication. Asia-Pacific fabs depending on cross-border material flows face longer supply timelines and higher operating expenses. Yet tariffs are stimulating localized sourcing, greater material recycling initiatives, and accelerated innovation in cost-efficient fabrication materials to reduce external dependencies.
