Industry research shows that the global semiconductor wafer polishing and grinding equipment market was valued at approximately US$464.4 million in 2025 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% from 2026 to 2035, approaching US$770.9 million by 2035. Asia-Pacific led the market in 2025 with a share of more than 65.3%.
On the demand side, chip manufacturing increasingly depends on consumables such as polishing pads, pad conditioners and slurries; equipment OEMs are also outsourcing more slurry formulations to specialty chemical suppliers to meet specific performance and quality requirements. On the supply side, additional tariffs under Section 301 of US trade law have raised the import cost of consumables such as polishing pads, prompting manufacturers to evaluate and qualify suppliers outside mainland China, creating opportunities for localized surface-finishing consumable supply chains.
