The semiconductor industry is undergoing a major transformation as sustainability becomes a priority. With increasing regulations, rising demand for greener products, and net-zero goals, manufacturers are adopting eco-friendly practices. In 2023, the global semiconductor market was valued at US$573.44 billion, projected to grow at a 7.1% CAGR (2024-2030) (Grand View Research). Asia, the industry's manufacturing hub, is leading the shift toward cleaner production and circular economy principles.
Advancements in Sustainable Manufacturing
Semiconductor companies are improving energy efficiency by optimizing cleanrooms and integrating renewable energy. Advanced water recycling systems now recover up to 95% of used water, reducing waste. Green materials, including recyclable chip packaging and reduced hazardous chemicals, further support sustainability. Industry giants TSMC and Samsung are setting ambitious carbon neutrality targets, driving innovation in sustainable manufacturing.
According to Allied Market Research, the Asia-Pacific semiconductor equipment market will reach US$74.41 billion by 2027, fueled by sustainability-focused technologies.
