flag Global silicon wafer shipments rose in 2025 due to AI and data center demand, but revenue fell amid pricing pressures.

flag Global silicon wafer shipments rose 5.8% to 12,973 million square inches in 2025, driven by strong demand for advanced wafers in AI and data center applications, particularly 300mm wafers for high-bandwidth memory and logic chips. flag Despite the shipment growth, wafer revenue fell 1.2% to $11.4 billion due to weak demand in traditional semiconductor uses and ongoing pricing pressures. flag The increase in shipments was largely fueled by adoption of sub-3nm processes and rising investments in generative AI and high-performance computing.
