Provides information on silicon consumption by technology, wafer size, feature size, and market segment. The database also includes individual pages devoted to the top silicon wafer manufacturers.

Please note, there has been a revision of the Silicon Demand Forecast.  Following additional research and input from the industry, it was found that silicon for Discrete Components were underrepresented due to further ASP collapse in the market.  Adjustments have been made, resulting in increased silicon for Discrete components. As a result, overall silicon MSI (millions of square inches) increased 1.6% in 2026, 1.3% in 2027, 1.4% in 2028, and 1.4% in 2029.

The primary markets impacted were Auto and Industrial which saw a 3%-4% MSI increase in 2026-2029.  Other markets did also see slight increases in MSI.  Please see the table below for further details.
