# CMP slurries and pads: Production

How two firms came to dominate slurries and pads

Source page: https://www.materialinsights.org/chemicals/cmp_slurries/production/

What this tab covers Who makes it and how much: world capacity and output, utilisation, the top producing countries and companies globally and in India, concentration, new capacity coming, and each region's position.

| Measure | Figure | Detail | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| **World capacity** | not published | Fujifilm expanded slurry production in Belgium and Japan; Entegris announced a $700 million US R&D investment (TECHCET summary). | TECHCET via DRI (2025) |
| **World output** | not published as tonnage; about $3.6 billion (2025) | DuPont, Anji and Hubei Dinglong reported record growth. | TECHCET via DRI (2025) |
| **Capacity utilisation** | not published | Demand follows wafer starts and CMP steps per wafer, which rise with 3D NAND layers and hybrid bonding. | Indicative |
| **Concentration** | slurries: Fujifilm 31%, Entegris second; pads: DuPont over 50% (2024) | Pads are one of the most concentrated semiconductor consumables. Chinese suppliers are gaining at home. | TECHCET via Semiconductor Digest (May 2024) |
| **New capacity** | 8.6% a year growth through 2029 (TECHCET) | Fujifilm expansions in Belgium and Japan; Entegris US R&D; Chinese growth at Anji and Dinglong. No Indian projects found. | TECHCET via DRI (2025) |

#### Top producing countries

- **Japan**: Fujifilm (31% of slurries), Fujimi, Resonac, AGC (indicative)
- **United States**: Entegris (second in slurries, incl. CMC Materials), DuPont (over 50% of pads)
- **China**: Anji Microelectronics (slurries) and Hubei Dinglong (pads) growing fast
- **South Korea**: Dongjin Semichem, ACE Nanochem, SK enpulse (indicative)
- **Europe**: BASF; Fujifilm slurry plant in Belgium
- **India**: no producer

#### Largest producers: global

| Company | Country | Volume | Year | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Fujifilm Electronic Materials** strong in copper slurries | Japan | not published | 2024 | [TECHCET via Semiconductor Digest](https://semiconductor-digest.com/?p=26625) |
| **Entegris (incl. CMC Materials)** $700 million US R&D investment | US | not published | 2024 | [TECHCET via Semiconductor Digest](https://www.entegris.com/) |
| **DuPont** dominant pad supplier | US | not published | 2024 | [TECHCET via Semiconductor Digest](https://www.dupont.com/) |
| **Fujimi Incorporated** | Japan | not published | 2025 | Indicative |
| **Resonac** | Japan | not published | 2025 | Indicative |
| **Anji Microelectronics** record growth | China | not published | 2025 | TECHCET via DRI (2025) |
| **Hubei Dinglong** record growth | China | not published | 2025 | TECHCET via DRI (2025) |
| **BASF** | Germany | not published | 2025 | TECHCET via DRI (2025, supplier profiles) |

#### Largest producers: India

India has no CMP slurry or pad producer. Demand starts with advanced packaging and the Tata-PSMC Dholera fab (targeted FY2029-30); Semicon 2.0 offers incentives for speciality materials (India Briefing; Indian Infrastructure, 2026).

#### Position by region

| Region | Position |
|---|---|
| **US** | Entegris and DuPont are domestic; new fabs need local slurry blending. |
| **EU** | Fujifilm Belgium and BASF supply; PFAS rules marginal for CMP (indicative). |
| **India** | No producer; demand from OSAT advanced packaging and future fabs. |
| **China** | Localising fast with Anji and Dinglong; dominant in ceria supply upstream. |
| **Japan** | Fujifilm, Fujimi and Resonac lead slurry chemistry. |
| **Middle East** | No meaningful production found. |
