“Global semiconductor sales increased on a year-to-year basis in November for the first time since August 2022, an indication that the global chip market is continuing to gain strength as we enter the new year,” said John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO. “Looking ahead, the global semiconductor market is projected to experience double-digit growth in 2025.”

This growth will require the construction of new semiconductor fabrication plants—highly complex facilities which involve precise processes that demand a wide range of considerations from construction partners to ensure optimal functionality and compliance with regulatory standards. From clean room requirements to environmental controls, there are several key points to consider when designing and building this type of facility.
