The market is in a strong growth phase. The WSTS Autumn 2025 forecast projects 22% growth in 2025 to $772 billion, followed by over 25% growth in 2026 to approach $975 billion. This surge is primarily driven by demand for AI-related logic chips and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for data centers and advanced computing. Regional growth is strongest in the Americas and Asia Pacific.
Several interconnected trends are defining the 2026 landscape:
- Edge AI Acceleration: AI processing is moving decisively to devices and sensors at the network edge, requiring specialized, low-power chips.
- Heterogeneous Integration & Advanced Packaging: Performance gains increasingly come from integrating multiple chiplets (like CPUs, GPUs, and HBM) using technologies like CoWoS, rather than just transistor scaling.
- Item-Level Intelligence: NFC and low-cost sensors are embedding intelligence into individual products for tracking, authentication, and data collection.
- New Material Adoption: Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) are critical for power efficiency in electric vehicles and energy infrastructure.
Traditional analyses often underestimate the market by focusing solely on chip sales. Our proprietary methodology captures the full economic value, including:
- The value of chips designed and used captively by large hyperscalers (e.g., for AI data centers).
- Semiconductors designed in-house by OEMs (e.g., smartphone makers).
- The total value of advanced chiplet packages (CoWoS), attributing it to the fabless designer.
- A more complete assessment of the growing Chinese semiconductor sector.
This leads us to estimate the 2024 market at $775 billion (higher than typical estimates) and project a $1.6 trillion market by 2030.
