The global indium phosphide substrate market is in an imbalance between supply and demand, and the industrial chain is accelerating its expansion
In 2026, the global demand for indium phosphide (InP) substrates will exceed 2.6 million pieces, with an effective production capacity of only 750,000 pieces, leaving a gap of over 70%. JX Metals has invested 120 billion yen to expand production, and NVIDIA has made a strategic investment in Coherent. Domestic companies such as Yunnan Germanium Industry and Lead Technology are accelerating the mass production of 6-inch substrates. A detailed analysis of the supply and demand pattern of the indium phosphide industry chain and the opportunities for domestic substitution.
