The International Semiconductor Industry Association (SEMI) released data on the 24th showing that global silicon wafer shipments will reach 12.973 billion square inches in 2025, a 5.8% increase from the previous year. SEMI stated, “Last year marked a turning point in wafer shipment recovery, driven by the expansion of artificial intelligence applications, strong demand for advanced epitaxial wafers used in logic circuits, and polished wafers for high-bandwidth memory.” In contrast, wafer sales during the same period totaled $11.4 billion, a 1.2% decrease. SEMI explained that the decline in sales was due to a lag in demand and price recovery.
