• For **Chemical Delivery Systems**, the global market size was approximately $1.38 billion (US$ 1381.8 million) in 2023 and is projected to grow to approximately $2.02 billion (US$ 2016.1 million) by 2030.
• For **Gas Delivery Systems**, the global market size is expected to reach approximately $40.5 billion (USD 40.5 billion) by 2032. Another estimate for the global gas delivery system market forecasts it to reach approximately $32.1 billion by 2031.

1. Continued Strong Demand in Semiconductor Etch and Deposition Markets: Ichor has reported robust performance due to increased demand from its largest customers and a strengthening environment for etch and deposition applications in the semiconductor industry. This trend is expected to continue, supported by ongoing investments in leading-edge foundry and logic, along with an anticipated recovery in memory investments.
2. Launch and Expansion of Proprietary Products: The company is strategically focused on developing and introducing new proprietary flow control and valve products. The first beta unit for customer evaluation is targeted for early 2026, which is expected to allow Ichor to serve a broader range of applications and customer needs, thereby increasing its value across the semiconductor supply chain.
3. Increased Internal Component Manufacturing: Ichor is actively working to transition more of its gas panel components, such as precision valves, fittings, and substrates, to internal manufacturing. This initiative aims to enhance product margins, provide more direct supply control, and is a key factor in improving the company's profitability and market position.
4. Global Manufacturing Capacity Expansion: To meet anticipated demand, Ichor has plans to expand its semiconductor machining capacity, with future facilities projected for Malaysia and Mexico. This expansion of its global footprint and cost structure realignment are strategic priorities to support long-term profitability and address growing market needs.
5. Leveraging Long-Term Semiconductor Market Growth (AI, High-Performance Logic, Advanced Packaging): Ichor is positioned to benefit from the overarching long-term fundamentals of its served markets, which are driven by significant technological inflections such as artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance logic, and advanced packaging. These trends are expected to fuel sustained growth in semiconductor capital equipment spending.
