Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) Slurry Market Overview
The growth of the Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) Slurry market is not merely the continuation of wafer growth. More complex device structures and more steps per wafer are beginning to be the main demand drivers. For example, more advanced logic, memory and multi-layer interconnect structures require ever higher levels of planarization, as do the newer HBM, 3D NAND and upcoming hybrid-bonding processes. February 2026 analysis has revealed these new drivers with renewed demand from both the 200mm and 300mm wafers in addition to the growth in demand from advanced logic and memory markets.
What Is Driving the CMP Slurry Market in 2026?
Semiconductor industry trends related to AI and HPC: The demand for higher-end semiconductor architectures raises the requirement for high precision CMP processes by AI processors.
Advanced semiconductor node: for even smaller geometries there is a need for more precise control of planarity, defectivity and material selectivity.
3D NAND and HBM. More memorylayers and stacking are lead to even more needs for planarization.
New interconnect materials: The change in material from the prevalent AISI-441 to other cobalt and ruthenium-based systems will require new slurry chemistries to be developed. Possibly include molybdenum and other emerging materials.

Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) Slurry Market Company Market Share
Market-share data must be understood in the context of the market definition being used. For instance, a 2026 report for the wider CMP slurry and polishing pads market names the top five suppliers as being DuPont, Entegris/CMC Materials, Fujimi, Resonac and Anjimirco Shanghai with the collective share estimated to be around 68%. This should not be construed as market share of the companies in respect of the CMP slurry market alone.
For the colloidal silica CMP slurry segment, there is a secondary industry estimate which has the 2025 shares listed at 18.3% for Entegris/CMC Materials, 12.7% for Fujimi, and 9.4% for DuPont. These numbers are specific to the colloidal-silica segment and should not be carried over into 2026 as industry wide CMP slurry market shares.
