Chemical Mechanical Polishing Market Report 2026

The chemical mechanical polishing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.36 billion in 2025 to $6.81 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of semiconductor manufacturing capacity, growth in integrated circuit production, increasing demand for wafer planarization, availability of advanced cmp equipment, rising investments in fab expansion.

The chemical mechanical polishing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.17 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of advanced logic and memory chips, rising demand for compound semiconductors, expansion of emerging semiconductor technologies, growing focus on defect reduction, increasing investments in semiconductor fabs. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of advanced cmp slurries, rising demand for high-precision planarization, growing use in leading-edge semiconductor nodes, expansion of consumables optimization technologies, enhanced focus on yield improvement.

The expansion in the consumer electronics industry is expected to propel the growth of the chemical mechanical polishing market going forward. Consumer electronics refer to devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, TVs, gaming consoles, and wearables that are purchased for personal rather than commercial use. This industry’s expansion is primarily driven by population growth, rising incomes, urbanization, and increasing demand for connectivity and mobility. CMP supports this growth by enabling the production of advanced electronic components with high precision and accuracy. For example, in May 2023, according to the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association, a Japan-based trade association, total consumer electronic equipment production in Japan reached $209.16 million (¥32,099 million), up from $164.65 million (¥25,268 million) in May 2022. Therefore, the expansion in the consumer electronics industry is driving the growth of the chemical mechanical polishing market.

Major companies operating in the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) market are focusing on developing advanced slurry formulations, such as bonding CMP slurry introduction, to enhance AI semiconductor integration. Bonding CMP slurry introduction refers to the deployment of a chemical-mechanical planarization slurry specifically designed for polishing and planarizing bonding surfaces in semiconductor hybrid bonding processes. For instance, in September 2025, FUJIFILM Corporation, a Japan-based manufacturer of semiconductor process materials, introduced a CMP slurry for advanced packaging that addresses key challenges in hybrid bonding for AI semiconductors. The slurry features a refined blend of abrasives, additives, and corrosion inhibitors to achieve high-precision planarization of bonding surfaces where copper and oxide films coexist. It supports the integration of multiple semiconductor chips into a single package, ensures exceptionally flat surfaces, reduces defects, and enhances device reliability - making it ideal for improving AI semiconductor performance and enabling advanced packaging applications.

In October 2023, Fujifilm, a Japan-based provider of photographic, imaging, and high-purity chemical solutions for the semiconductor and other high-tech industries, acquired Entegris’s Electronic Chemicals business for US$700 million in cash. This acquisition enables Fujifilm to expand its product portfolio and strengthen its global supply and manufacturing capabilities in high-purity process chemicals for the semiconductor sector. Entegris’s Electronic Chemicals business is a US-based provider of high-purity chemical solutions for semiconductor and high-tech manufacturing processes.
