SEMI: Global silicon wafer shipments and revenue set new records in 2022

Feb. 9, 2023 /SemiMedia/ -- According to the latest annual report from SEMI Silicon Manufacturers Group (SMG), global silicon wafer shipments hit a record high in 2022, growing 3.9% to 14,713 million square inches (MSI), while wafer revenue increased 9.5% over the same period to $13.8 billion.

SEMI noted that total MSI shipments were 14,713 last year and 14,165 MSI in 2021, as silicon wafers underpin strong demand for semiconductor devices. Consumption of both 8-inch and 12-inch wafers increased, driven in part by the automotive, industrial, and IoT segments along with the 5G buildout. Wafer revenue reached $13,831 million, surpassing the record previously set in 2021.

“The silicon wafer industry continued to advance despite mounting global macroeconomic concerns,” said Anna-Riikka Vuorikari-Antikainen, Chairman of SEMI SMG and Chief Commercial Officer at Okmetic. “Silicon shipments have grown in nine out of the last 10 years, a testament to silicon’s central role in the vital semiconductor industry.”
