Dublin, May 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Ajinomoto Build-up Film Market by Application – Global Forecast to 2032” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global Ajinomoto build-up film (ABF) market is projected to grow from USD 11.56 billion in 2026 to USD 49.63 billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 27.5%
The report offers a detailed analysis of the ABF market categorized by application and region, focusing on drivers, restraints, opportunities, and competitive dynamics. Market leaders/new entrants gain insights into revenue approximations, competitive landscape, and effective strategies in market positioning.
This significant growth is propelled by the burgeoning electric vehicle (EV) industry, which heavily relies on ABF for semiconductor applications. EVs demand more semiconductor content than traditional vehicles due to their advanced systems, necessitating materials like ABF that offer thermal stability and electrical insulation. Consequently, the automotive sector sees increased ABF usage, supported by emission regulations and government EV incentives.
In the tech landscape, a surge in demand for high-performance computing, AI, and cloud services elevates the need for semiconductor chips with higher layer counts, boosting ABF adoption for sophisticated packaging structures. This trend is expected to persist, driven by the growing need for semiconductor performance in dynamic applications.
Key players in this landscape include Ajinomoto Co., Inc. (Japan), Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd. (Japan), Waferchem Technology (Taiwan), Taiyo Holdings Co., Ltd. (Japan), and Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd. (Japan).
Fan-out Packaging Segment to Grow Rapidly
Fan-out packaging, recognized for enhancing integration density and electrical performance through redistributed chip connections, is anticipated to witness the second-fastest CAGR in the ABF market.
The advantages of ABF layers in supporting high-density redistribution favor this trend. Industry shifts towards modular semiconductor design and functional integration support the rise of fan-out packaging technologies, bridging traditional methods to next-gen integration. Investments in scalable processes, panel-level packaging, and advanced redistribution bolster this sector’s expansion.
Europe’s Rising Growth in ABF Market
