AI and Leading-edge Technology Transitions are Expected to Drive Three Consecutive Years of Growth through 2026<\/i><\/p>\n

MILPITAS, Calif.<\/span><\/span>, July 22, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — SEMI today announced that global sales of total semiconductor manufacturing equipment by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are forecast to set a new industry record of $125.5 billion<\/span> in 2025, a 7.4% year-on-year increase, according to its Mid-Year Total Semiconductor Equipment Forecast \u2013 OEM Perspective<\/i>. Semiconductor manufacturing equipment growth is expected to continue in 2026, with sales projected to reach a new high of $138.1 billion<\/span>, driven by leading-edge logic, memory and technology transitions.<\/p>\n

“Following strong growth in 2024, global semiconductor manufacturing equipment sales are forecast to expand again this year and set a new record in 2026,” said Ajit Manocha<\/span>, SEMI president and CEO. “While the semiconductor industry is closely monitoring\u00a0macroeconomic uncertainty, AI-fueled demand for chip innovations is driving investments in capacity expansions and leading-edge production.”<\/p>\n

Semiconductor Equipment Sales by Segment\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

After registering a record $104.3 billion<\/span> in sales last year, the Wafer Fab Equipment (WFE) segment, which includes wafer processing, fab facilities and mask\/reticle equipment, is projected to increase 6.2% to $110.8 billion<\/span> in 2025. This upward revision from SEMI’s 2024 Year-End Equipment Forecast<\/i> of $107.6 billion<\/span> is largely driven by increased sales to foundry and memory applications. Looking ahead to 2026, WFE segment sales are projected to expand 10.2%, reaching $122.1 billion<\/span>. The growth is attributed to capacity expansions in leading-edge logic and memory to support AI applications, as well as ongoing process technology migrations across major segments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The back-end equipment segment is anticipated to continue its strong recovery that began in 2024. Following that year’s robust 20.3% year-on-year growth, sales of semiconductor test equipment are projected to rise another 23.2% in 2025 to a new record of $9.3 billion<\/span>. Assembly and packaging equipment sales grew 25.4% in 2024 and are forecast to increase 7.7% to $5.4 billion<\/span> in 2025. Back-end equipment segment expansion is expected to continue in 2026, with test equipment sales rising 5.0% and assembly and packaging sales increasing 15.0%, marking three consecutive years of growth. The expansion is driven by significant increases in the complexity of device architectures and the robust performance requirements for AI and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) semiconductors. However, growth in this segment is partially offset by continued weakness in the automotive, industrial and consumer end markets.<\/p>\n

WFE Sales by Application<\/b><\/p>\n

WFE sales for foundry and logic applications are expected to show stable growth of 6.7% year-over-year to $64.8 billion<\/span> in 2025, driven by robust demand for advanced nodes. In 2026, the segment is forecast to grow another 6.6%, reaching $69.0 billion<\/span>. The growth will be supported by increased capacity expansion purchases and rising demand for leading-edge technologies as the industry progresses toward high-volume manufacturing at the 2nm gate-all-around (GAA) node.<\/p>\n

Memory-related capital expenditures are projected to see an increase in 2025 and to demonstrate continued growth in 2026. NAND equipment sales continue to recover from a sharp contraction of 2023. After registering a modest 4.1% increase in 2024, the NAND equipment market is expected to see 42.5% expansion to $13.7 billion<\/span> in 2025 and 9.7% to $15.0 billion<\/span> in 2026, driven by advancements in 3D NAND stacking and capacity expansion. Meanwhile, DRAM equipment sales, which surged 40.2% in 2024 to $19.5 billion<\/span>, are projected to grow at 6.4% and 12.1% in 2025 and 2026, respectively, supporting investments in HBM for AI deployment.<\/p>\n

Semiconductor Equipment Sales by Region<\/b><\/p>\n

Mainland China<\/span>, Taiwan<\/span> and Korea are expected to remain the top three destinations for equipment spending through 2026. China<\/span> continues to lead all regions over the forecast period, though sales in the region are expected to decline from 2024 record investments of $49.5 billion<\/span>. All other regions except Europe<\/span> are expected to see significant increases in equipment spending starting in 2025. However, heightened trade policy risks may impact the pace of growth across regions.<\/p>\n

The SEMI forecast is based on collective input from top equipment suppliers, the SEMI Worldwide Semiconductor Equipment Market Statistics<\/i> (WWSEMS) data collection program, and the industry-recognized SEMI World Fab Forecast<\/i> database.\u00a0<\/p>\n
