Dublin, Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Thin Wafer Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The thin wafer market is experiencing robust growth, poised to expand from $12.57 billion in 2025 to $19.45 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 9.1%. This remarkable growth is powered by key market drivers such as advanced semiconductor packaging demand, the proliferation of 5G and AI chips, and innovations in wafer-level manufacturing.
Cutting-edge innovations from leading companies are pushing the market forward. Ultra-thin silicon power wafers, with thicknesses as low as 20 micrometers, are enhancing energy efficiency and power density, vital for AI and industrial applications. Notably, Infineon Technologies AG launched the thinnest 20-micrometer silicon power wafer, setting a new benchmark in semiconductor efficiency and supporting next-gen digitalization initiatives.
Mergers and acquisitions are shaping the industry landscape. In April 2025, Black Semiconductor acquired Applied Nanolayers to boost energy-efficient chip technology, leveraging ANL’s graphene expertise. This strategic move underlines the growing emphasis on sustainable and high-performance semiconductor solutions.
Global market dynamics are influencing the thin wafer industry, as shifting trade relations and tariffs have resulted in increased costs for imported materials and equipment. Despite these challenges, tariffs are spurring regional semiconductor production, fostering innovation in cost-efficient wafer processing technologies.
The thin wafer market analysis highlights Asia-Pacific as both the largest and fastest-growing region by 2025. Countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea play pivotal roles in this dynamic growth. Furthermore, significant contributions are expected from Western and Eastern Europe, North America, and emerging economies in South America and the Middle East.
