Regional Analysis

Taiwan is expected to generate around USD 2.33 billion at a CAGR of 6.2% by 2031. The amplifying semiconductor manufacturing in the country is primarily driving the adoption of CMP in the country. Taiwan-based TSMC is one of the world's largest contract chipmakers with around 50% share in the global market, hence playing a significant role in creating demand for CMP slurries. The increased up-gradation in the telecom industry due to 5G and in the automotive industry is also fuelling the company's product demand, therefore, developing the scope for the market vendors.

Taiwan invests heavily in 5G with its strategy for 5G rollout. Since the semiconductor production sector mainly drives this initiative, it is expected to keep up with the demands of its design customers for different types of digital signal processors for 5G and 5G's high-frequency radio modem circuits. And it was henceforth thrusting up the demands for chemical mechanical polishing.

China Market Trends

Next to Taiwan, China is expected to generate the most considerable revenue with USD 2.7 billion at a CAGR of 6%.

The country’s government regulations favor the semiconductor market resulting in increased demand for CMP in the region. One such instance was found when the Chinese government raised around USD 23 to 30 billion to pay for the second phase of its National IC Investment Fund. Along with that, growth across several semiconductor segments is expected to power the expansion of the chemical mechanical polishing market in the country.
