Following two years of inventory adjustment, the silicon wafer industry is experiencing a supply-demand reversal, with production capacity tightening. Rapid expansion in DRAM and NAND Flash demand is accelerating upstream silicon wafer digestion. Globalwafers, Taishen Technology, and Hexion are among the companies poised to benefit from these price increases.
Upstream silicon wafer supply is tightening, pushing prices higher and increasing input costs for memory and logic chip manufacturers.
