The global semiconductor material market ranks second only to Taiwan in the mainland

According to the micro-network news, the International Semiconductor Association pointed out that in 2017, the global semiconductor material market grew by 9.6%. Global semiconductor revenue grew by 21.6% compared to 2016 last year. In 2017, the market size of wafer manufacturing materials and packaging materials was 27.8 billion U.S. dollars, respectively. 19.11 billion U.S. dollars, 2016, were 24.7 billion U.S. dollars and 18.2 billion U.S. dollars, respectively, 12.7% and 5.4% year-on-year growth.

Due to the accumulation of large-scale fabs and advanced packaging facilities, Taiwan has become the largest consumer of semiconductor materials for the eighth consecutive year, with a turnover of 10.3 billion US dollars, a market share of 10.29%, and an annual growth rate of 12%. Mainland China has consolidated its Second place, with a 7.62% share, also with a growth rate of 12%, followed by South Korea and Japan.
