Global spending on 300mm fab equipment is expected to reach a record $400 billion from 2025 to 2027, says industry association SEMI in its quarterly 300mm Fab Outlook Report to 2027 report.
The robust spending is being driven by the regionalization of semiconductor fabs and the increasing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) chips used in data centers and edge devices.
Worldwide, 300mm fab equipment spending is projected to grow by 4 percent to $99.3 billion in 2024, and further increase by 24 percent to $123.2 billion in 2025, surpassing the $100 billion level for the first time.
