According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Semiconductor Foundry Market Report by Technology Node (10/7/5nm, 16/14nm, 20nm, 45/40nm, and Others), Foundry Type (Pure Play Foundry, IDMs), Application (Communication, Consumer Electronics, Computer, Automotive, and Others), and Region 2025-2033”, the global semiconductor foundry market size reached USD 86.9 Billion in 2024. A semiconductor foundry, also known as a semiconductor fabrication plant, refers to a specialized manufacturing facility that is used for manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs) and other semiconductors. A foundry is responsible for creating the chips that power modern electronic devices, including smartphones, laptops, cars, and medical equipment. In addition, foundries often have access to the latest manufacturing technologies and materials, which can improve the performance and quality of products. Foundries can offer their customers a streamlined, cost-effective semiconductor production solution with an end-to-end approach. A semiconductor foundry also offers economies of scale, which is impossible with in-house manufacturing. Furthermore, these facilities offer design services, testing, and packaging of finished products in addition to manufacturing ICs.
Global Semiconductor Foundry Market Trends:
The global market is majorly driven by the rising demand for consumer electronics, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other consumer electronics. This can be attributed to rapid digitization across the globe. In line with this, the growing need for electronic components and systems in the automotive sector due to the rising demand for EVs is propelling the need for semiconductors used in automotive electronics. Besides this, continual innovations in vehicle safety, such as advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), infotainment systems, and engine control units to improve safety, comfort, and efficiency in vehicles, are further resulting in a higher product uptake. Moreover, continual technological advancements, including the Internet of Things (IoT) resulting in a larger number of connected devices and the development of advanced AI chips, such as graphics processing units (GPUs) and tensor processing units (TPUs) combined with artificial intelligence (AI) technology, is also driving the market. The market is further fueled by the advent and increasing rollout of 5G networks, which is propelling the demand for advanced semiconductors used in 5G infrastructure and devices. Apart from this, the escalating demand for specialized semiconductors in cloud computing that can handle complex computing tasks with high efficiency as well as provide secure data processing and communication is further fueling the market. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include rapid urbanization, higher uptake of wearable devices, rising trend of device miniaturization and extensive research and development (R&D) activities. On account of the aforementioned factors, the market is anticipated to reach a value of USD 135.7 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.03% during 2025-2033.
