Global Back Grinding Tapes (BGT) Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Back Grinding Tapes (BGT) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 248 million in 2025 to US$ 352 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2026 to 2032.

BGT (Backside Grinding Tape) is used to protect the wafer surface during back grinding after the IC is formed on the wafer. Attached on the circuit surface, it prevents damages to the circuit surface and pollutions to the wafer surface and improves the grinding accuracy of the wafer. Especially, it can perfectly protect the wafer pattern surface and the chip during the manufacturing process with its excellent physical and chemical properties. With developments of jumbo-sized and thinned wafer and high-bumped wafer, the function required to the BG tape are (1) low contamination levels, (2) highly close contact to wafer-, and (3) easiness of peeling.

Demand for back grinding tapes (BGT) is primarily driven by wafer thinning and advanced packaging. As smartphones, HPC/AI, and miniaturized electronics push for thinner die, higher I/O density, and smaller form factors, back-grinding becomes more widespread and more stringent—raising the need for tapes that provide strong front-side protection with low defects and low residue. Increasing process complexity (larger wafers, ultra-thin silicon, compound semiconductors, backside metallization, etc.) also elevates requirements for crack/chip prevention, particle control, warpage management, and a stable tack window, accelerating adoption of cleaner, more controllable tapes and UV-release systems. In parallel, yield pressure and cost optimization encourage fabs to standardize reliable, high-throughput temporary protection materials, supporting ongoing growth in the BGT market.

The world's top five back grinding tapes (BGT) manufacturers include Mitsui Chemicals Tohcello, Nitto, LINTEC, Furukawa Electric, Denka., which together account for more than 85% of the market share, of which the largest producer is Mithui Chemicals Tohcello, accounting for more than 30% of the market. Japan is the world's leading back-grinding tape production region, accounting for more than 40% of the market share. In terms of type, the market share of UV tape is more than 55%. In the application field, bump accounts for about 50% of the market share.
