Key Developments

• In March 2024, Veolia Water Technologies announced a partnership with a major semiconductor manufacturer to supply Electrode ionization (EDI) systems for a new production facility in China. This collaboration aims to improve water quality and minimize environmental impact. The company plans to establish a new plant in the Changshu industrial zone, which will serve as an operational and maintenance center for deionization and mobile water treatment solutions.

• In April 2021, Evoqua Water Technologies, a leading provider of critical water treatment solutions, acquired Water Consulting Specialists, Inc. (WCSI) . WCSI is renowned for its expertise in the design, manufacture, and maintenance of industrial ultra-pure water treatment systems. This acquisition enhances Evoqua's capabilities and market position in providing advanced water treatment solutions for industrial applications.

• In May 2020, Veolia introduced the new TERION standard system, which integrates ROCEDI technology into a compact skate-mounted unit. The TERION system is designed to produce softened water, specifically for use in power generation applications such as boiler feed water and turbine injection. This advanced ROCEDI system ensures high-quality water treatment, optimizing the efficiency and reliability of power generation processes.

• In January 2019, AMSA (ArcelorMittal South Africa) extended its water treatment contract with Veolia Water Technologies. Under this extended agreement, Veolia will oversee the entire wastewater treatment plant operations. This includes the monthly addition of about 100 tons of Hydrex chemicals, used to enhance the treatment process and ensure efficient and effective wastewater management.

Semiconductor Foundry Industry Facts

In 2021, the market was predominantly led by Taiwan, which held a commanding 63.0% share. This significant dominance is attributed to major players such as TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) , which is renowned for its advanced manufacturing capabilities and extensive production capacity. The Taiwan-based company reported a revenue of $45.5 billion for fiscal year 2020, an increase from $34.63 billion in 2019. The company has a comprehensive future R&D plan and invested approximately $3.8 billion in research and development, which represents 8.3% of its revenue as per Nasdaq.

South Korea followed with an 18.0% share, driven by industry giants like Samsung Electronics, which continues to invest heavily in expanding its foundry operations. In May 2021, Samsung Electronics announced plans to boost its investments in the System LSI and Foundry businesses through 2030 to $ 143.8 billion. This marks an increase of $32.0 billion from the previous commitment of $111.8 billion announced in April 2019. As part of this initiative, Samsung is constructing a new production line in Pyeongtaek, expected to be completed in the second half of 2022. This facility will be equipped to produce 14 nm DRAM and 5 nm logic semiconductors, utilizing extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology. Samsung is recognized as the largest non-U.S. investor in R&D, having spent approximately $18.75 billion in fiscal year 2020, which accounted for 9% of its sales. The company also secured 6, 415 patents in 2020, ranking it second in terms of patent grants. China held a 6.0% share of the market, reflecting its growing but still developing foundry industry, supported by companies like SMIC (Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation) . The remaining 13.0% of the market was distributed among other countries, encompassing a range of smaller players contributing to the global semiconductor foundry landscape.
