Current IssueCreating the Ideal Data Package
Why is it so difficult to create the ideal data package? Many of these simple errors can be alleviated by paying attention to detail—and knowing what issues to look out for. So, this month, our experts weigh in on the best practices for creating the ideal design data package for your design.
Designing Through the Noise
Our experts discuss the constantly evolving world of RF design, including the many tradeoffs, material considerations, and design tips and techniques that designers and design engineers need to know to succeed in this high-frequency realm.
Learning to Speak ‘Fab’
Our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. As you will see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.

2024 Global Semiconductor Materials Market Posts $67.5 Billion in Revenue
April 29, 2025 | SEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Global semiconductor materials market revenue increased 3.8% to $67.5 billion in 2024, SEMI, the global industry association representing the electronics design and manufacturing supply chain, reported in its Materials Market Data Subscription (MMDS). The recovery of the overall semiconductor market as well as the increasing demand for advanced materials for high-performance compute and high-bandwidth memory manufacturing supported 2024 materials revenue growth.
Wafer fabrication materials revenue increased 3.3% to $42.9 billion in 2024, while packaging materials revenue grew 4.7% to $24.6 billion last year. The chemical mechanical planarization (CMP), photoresist, and photoresist ancillaries segments experienced strong double-digit growth driven by increased complexity and number of processing steps required for advanced DRAM, 3D NAND flash and leading-edge logic integrated circuits (ICs). All semiconductor materials segments, except for silicon and silicon-on-insulator (SOI), registered year-on-year increases. The demand for silicon, particularly in the trailing edge segment, remained weak in 2024 as the industry continued to work through excess inventory, resulting in a 7.1% decline in silicon revenue in 2024.
Taiwan, with $20.1 billion in revenue, was the world's largest consumer of semiconductor materials for the 15th consecutive year. China, at $13.5 billion in revenue, continued to register year-over-year growth, ranking second in 2024, while Korea followed as the third largest consumer with $10.5 billion in revenue. All regions, except for Japan, posted single-digit increases in 2024.
