According to a new market research report, the global Foundry Service market was valued at USD 113,110 million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 204,475.97 million by 2032, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.80% during the forecast period. This robust expansion is primarily driven by escalating demand for semiconductor chips across industries and advanced manufacturing capabilities in wafer production.
What is Foundry Service?
Foundry services represent the backbone of semiconductor manufacturing, where companies fabricate silicon wafers for integrated circuits (ICs) based on designs from fabless chip companies. Unlike integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), pure-play foundries like TSMC and Samsung Foundry focus exclusively on manufacturing, offering cost-efficient production at cutting-edge process nodes.
The industry operates through 8-inch and 12-inch wafer production lines, with the latter enabling higher chip output and lower per-unit costs. Leading foundries are currently transitioning to 3nm and below process technologies, while mature nodes (28nm+) continue serving automotive and industrial applications.
