Global Industry Analyst (GIA) released a new market research report on August 6, entitled "Silicon Recycling War - Global Market Tracks and Analysis". The report made a new perspective analysis of the market opportunities and challenges of "post-epidemic era".

The report is expected to 2026, the global silicon recycling wafer market will reach 840.4 million US dollars.

The silicon recovery wafer is re-processed using test and original wafers, which are stripped, re-polished to reuse. Silicon wafers are widely used in the semiconductor industry, and now it has become the basis of all electronic components. As the basic components of the semiconductor, the demand for silicon wafer is closely related to the sales of electronic products, including computer, telecommunications products, and consumer electronics, automotive and industrial electronic products.

The new recycling technology helps to reduce the risk of new defects in silicon wafers, in view of the increasing cost of the original semiconductor-grade silicon and silicon wafer development, recovering wafers become increasingly important. Moreover, the test link also requires a large number of wafers, compared to the original test wafer, can be significantly saved significantly.

During the epidemic, 2020 silicon recycling wafers were estimated $ 529.7 million, expected to reach 840.4 million US dollars in 2026, and about 7.6% of compound annual growth rate increased.

12 inches is one of the submarine markets in the report. It is estimated that the compound annual growth rate in 2026 is 8.2%, reaching 584.8 million US dollars. After thorough analysis of the business impact of the economic crisis caused by the epidemic, the growth rate of 12-inch segment will be re-adjusted to 5.9% compound annual growth rate after the next 7 years.

In the semiconductor industry, many of the wafer diameters of the production line increased from 8 inches to 12 inches. This change in larger diameter wafer size is mainly because people are increasingly concerned with the cost of lowering each chip. The key factors that push to larger silicon-sized transitions include the continuous demand for chip miniaturization, as well as the development of packaging density.

The 2021 US Silicon Recycling Wafer is estimated to be $ 10.7 billion, and China is expected to reach $ 42 million by 2026.

The 2021 US silicon recycling wafer market is estimated to be $ 10.7 billion. It is estimated that China's market size will reach $ 42 million by 2026, and the compound annual growth rate during the analysis is 9.8%. Other regional markets include Japan and Europe, which is expected to increase by 5.9% and 6.5% respectively. In North America, more and more solar panels have high demand for wafer recovery services. Due to the broad availability of technical expertise, the area is the location of the main participants with recycling wafer services. In Europe, renewable energy is increasingly popular and the demand for various electronic devices and components will grow, will support the need for recycling silicon wafers. It is expected that the growth of India, China (including Taiwan), Thailand and the Korean electronics industry will promote market growth in the Asia Pacific region.
