India Silicon Wafer Market

India Silicon Wafer Market Overview:

The India silicon wafer market size reached USD 1.1 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1.6 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2% during 2025-2033. The increasing demand for semiconductors, government incentives, expansion of electronics manufacturing, 5G and IoT adoption, electric vehicle production, and rising R&D investments in nanotechnology, photovoltaics, and microelectronics across academic and industrial institutions are some of the factors propelling the growth of the market.

India Silicon Wafer Market Trends:

Rising Domestic Investment in Silicon Wafer Fabrication

India is experiencing strong movement toward local silicon carbide wafer manufacturing to support the expanding electric mobility and renewable power sectors. New fabrication units are emerging through strategic alliances with global players, backed by state-level support. These facilities are being developed in emerging industrial regions and are aiming for significant output scaling within a short period. The focus is shifting from import dependence to building advanced domestic manufacturing capabilities. The rise of private players in this space also highlights the growing interest in specialized semiconductor infrastructure. With the growing demand for energy-efficient components, local production is expected to play a critical role in meeting industry needs while enhancing India’s position in the global semiconductor value chain. For example, in January 2025, Indichip Semiconductors, in partnership with Japan’s Yitoa Micro Technology, signed an INR 14,000 Crore deal with Andhra Pradesh to establish India’s first private silicon carbide wafer fab in Kurnool. Starting at 10,000 wafers/month, the plant would scale to 50,000 within three years, supporting the EV and renewable energy sectors.

Strengthening Front-End Semiconductor Fabrication

India is advancing in front-end semiconductor manufacturing with large-scale investments focused on high-capacity wafer fabrication. Backed by government incentives and international technology partnerships, new projects are targeting global demand across automotive, artificial intelligence, computing, and telecommunications. Strategic locations like Gujarat are emerging as key hubs, supported by robust infrastructure and policy frameworks. These developments are not only accelerating local chip production but also creating extensive skilled employment opportunities nationwide. With a substantial monthly output planned, the facilities are designed to integrate cutting-edge process nodes and meet global quality standards. The increasing focus on developing full-stack semiconductor capabilities reflects the broader push to establish India as a competitive and reliable supplier in the global electronics manufacturing ecosystem. For instance, in September 2024, Tata Electronics signed an agreement with the India Semiconductor Mission to set up a semiconductor plant in Dholera, Gujarat, investing INR 910 Billion. The project planned a 50,000 wafers/month capacity and received 50% central funding. Partnering with Powerchip, it aimed to serve global automotive, AI, computing, and communication sectors and generated over 20,000 skilled jobs across India.
