April 2, 2012 -- The global semiconductor materials -- wafer fabrication and packaging materials -- market increased 7% in 2011 compared to 2010, with record revenues of $47.86 billion. This is the second record year for the sector in a row, following $44.85 billion spent in 2010. The semiconductor sector spent $24.20 billion on wafer fabrication materials (increased from 2010’s $23.05B) and $23.67 billion on packaging materials (up from $21.80B in 2010). Steady revenue growth in all materials categories contributed to the year-over-year growth of the total semiconductor materials market, though currency effects were a contributing factor as well. Taiwan yet again consumed the most semiconductor materials (see the table), due to its large foundry and advanced packaging base. Japan’s chip materials market contracted 1%, and all other regions spent modestly more YOY. The market in South Korea was driven by fab materials, while the market in China was driven by packaging materials in 2011.
