The Global Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) Market is valued at approximately USD 6.3 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% over the forecast period 2025-2035. CMP technology is an essential process in semiconductor manufacturing, used to achieve precise wafer planarization and surface uniformity. This technique combines chemical slurry and mechanical abrasion to remove excess materials, enabling the production of high-performance integrated circuits and advanced automotive electronics components. The market expansion is driven by the proliferation of semiconductor fabrication, increased demand for miniaturized ICs, and the growing adoption of electric vehicles requiring sophisticated automotive chips. Additionally, innovations in slurry formulations, pad materials, and automation of CMP equipment are enhancing process efficiency, quality, and throughput, further fueling market growth.
Rising investments in semiconductor fabrication facilities, along with the ongoing trend of automotive electrification, have significantly boosted the demand for both CMP equipment and consumables. Integrated circuit manufacturers increasingly rely on advanced CMP solutions to meet tighter design rules and reduce defect rates. Furthermore, as industries pursue Industry 4.0 initiatives, manufacturers are leveraging automated CMP tools integrated with real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance software. However, high capital expenditure for CMP equipment and complex process optimization requirements may present adoption challenges for small and medium-scale fabs over the forecast period.
