Global Ceria CMP Slurry Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Ceria CMP Slurry market size is predicted to grow from US$ 345 million in 2025 to US$ 565 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2026 to 2032.

Chemical mechanical polishing/planarization (CMP) is a process widely used in the microelectronic industries to smooth surfaces with the combination of chemical and mechanical forces. This process uses an abrasive and corrosive slurry to help planarize the surface of a wafer. The particle size distribution of the slurry is a critical parameter controlling the success of the planarization process. Cerium oxide (ceria) based slurries are becoming more widely used in a variety of CMP applications for integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing.

The global key companies of Ceria CMP Slurry include Resonac, Merck KGaA, AGC, KC Tech, Soulbrain and Anjimirco Shanghai, etc. In 2024, the global four largest players hold a share approximately 84 % in terms of revenue.

The Chinese market is very active, with new companies entering the industry continuously in recent years. Currently the Potential Entrants of Ceria CMP Slurry include Hubei Dinglong, Konfoong Materials International, Zhuhai Cornerstone Technologies and CHUANYAN, etc. In next six years, Chinese players will play more important roles in Ceria CMP Slurry market.

In terms of product segment, Colloidal Ceria Slurry holds 77.17%, while Calcined Ceria Slurry holds 22.83% in 2024. In next six years, Colloidal Ceria Slurry will grow faster in the next few years.

In terms of application, currently CMP Ceria Slurries are mainly used in STI and ILD process, with a share over 95%.
