The global CMP Slurries for SiC Wafer Polishing Market continues to demonstrate robust growth, with its valuation reaching USD 210 million in 2024. According to the latest industry analysis, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8%, reaching approximately USD 350 million by 2030. This growth is largely fueled by increasing demand for silicon carbide (SiC) wafers in power electronics, electric vehicles (EVs), and 5G infrastructure.
CMP slurries are critical for achieving the ultra-smooth surface finish required in SiC wafer manufacturing. Their precision polishing capabilities make them indispensable in semiconductor fabrication, particularly for next-generation devices requiring high thermal conductivity and voltage resistance. As SiC adoption accelerates in renewable energy and aerospace sectors, manufacturers are prioritizing slurry innovations for enhanced performance.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
Asia-Pacific dominates the global CMP slurries market with a 65% production share, led by semiconductor manufacturing hubs in China, Taiwan, and South Korea. The region benefits from concentrated SiC wafer fabrication facilities and strong government support for compound semiconductor development. Japan’s legacy in precision chemicals further strengthens regional capabilities.
North America’s growth is driven by R&D investments from semiconductor giants and DOE initiatives for wide-bandgap semiconductors. Europe shows strategic growth through automotive-industry collaborations, particularly for EV power modules. Emerging markets in Southeast Asia are gaining traction as supply chain diversification continues.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The market is propelled by the automotive industry’s shift to SiC-based power electronics, with EVs accounting for 42% of demand. 5G infrastructure deployment and industrial motor drives represent additional growth vectors. The transition to 200mm wafers presents new formulation challenges requiring tailored slurries. Partnerships between material suppliers and fab equipment manufacturers are creating integrated polishing solutions.
Significant opportunities exist in developing slurries for SiC-on-insulator (SiCOI) applications and gallium nitride (GaN) co-polishing processes. Recycling and reclaim systems for used slurries are emerging as value-added services, while bio-based slurry formulations address environmental concerns.
Challenges & Restraints
The market faces technical hurdles including slurry stability at high pH levels and post-CMP cleaning complexities. Supply chain vulnerabilities for high-purity abrasives and geopolitical trade restrictions on specialized chemicals pose operational risks. Price sensitivity among second-tier semiconductor manufacturers continues to pressure profit margins. Environmental regulations on abrasive particle disposal are becoming increasingly stringent worldwide.
