The global Wafer Grinding Machine market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1101 million in 2025 to US$ 1687 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2025 to 2031.
Wafer Grinding Machine can reduce the size of the wafer in the production of integrated circuits, and make the wafer meet the requirements of more complex integrated circuits. The wafer substrate is thinned by thinning / lapping to improve the heat dissipation effect of the chip, which is also conducive to the later packaging process.
The Wafer Grinding Machines market, primarily driven by the increasing demand for precision and efficiency in semiconductor manufacturing, is growing rapidly across the globe. Wafer Grinding Machines are integral in wafer thinning processes, where the primary applications include the processing of 200mm and 300mm wafers. Among the various types of Wafer Grinding Machines, the fully automatic Wafer Grinding Machines dominate the market, they have higher automation levels, allowing for increased efficiency and precision, accounting for approximately 52% of the global market share. The most significant application market is for 300mm wafers, which accounts for 83% of the global demand, primarily driven by the advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes that require thinner wafers with high precision. Geographically, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region holds the largest consumption share, accounting for about 78% of the global market, driven by the robust semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem in countries like China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
Manufacturers, like Disco, TOKYO SEIMITSU, Okamoto Semiconductor Equipment Division, CETC, G&N, etc. are well-known for the wonderful performance of their Wafer Grinding Machine and related services. The top five players account for about 90% of the revenue market in 2024.
