Dublin, Jan. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Semiconductor Silicon Materials Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering. The report delivers comprehensive insights into industry size, growth potential, regional shares, and competitor dynamics.
The semiconductor silicon materials market is witnessing robust growth, moving from $12.37 billion in 2025 to $13.3 billion in 2026, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. This expansion is driven by increased semiconductor manufacturing, growth in consumer electronics, high-purity silicon wafer adoption, and the rise of photovoltaic applications. Projections indicate it will reach $17.6 billion by 2030, with a 7.2% CAGR fueled by demand for monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon, larger diameter wafers, and automotive electronics deployment.
Consumer electronics have significantly driven market growth. With increasing disposable incomes, demand for smartphones, smart TVs, and laptops has surged. Semiconductor silicon materials are crucial for producing chips in these devices, supporting the rising global need as evidenced by GSMA’s 2023 report highlighting that 57% of the global population accessed mobile internet.
Key industry developments include advancements in silicon carbide (SiC) technologies. Companies are developing SiC six-pack power modules to enhance power efficiency and speed for applications in electric vehicles and industrial electronics. Wolfspeed, Inc., in November 2025, launched 1200V SiC Six-Pack Power Modules that showcase significant improvements in power cycling capability, inverter current, and energy loss reduction.
Acquisitions are shaping the market; in November 2024, onsemi acquired Qorvo’s Silicon Carbide JFET business, enhancing its silicon carbide technology offering for electric and renewable energy applications. This move indicates a growing focus on expanding technological reach and manufacturing capabilities to meet advanced power semiconductor solutions’ demand.
Leading companies in the sector include Samsung SDI Company Limited, Wafer Works Corporation, Linde Industrial Gases plc, and GlobalWafers Company Limited. These players are navigating challenges like global trade tensions impacting supply chains. While tariffs have disrupted availability and increased costs in key regions like Asia-Pacific and North America, they have also encouraged local sourcing, investment in domestic production, and innovative cost-efficient silicon manufacturing.
