Fujifilm Is Betting Big On India’s Chip-Making Future

You probably know Fujifilm for cameras and instant film, but the company’s quietly become a major player in something far less glamorous — the chemistry that makes semiconductor manufacturing actually work. Now it’s bringing that expertise to Delhi. FUJIFILM India has announced its participation at SEMICON India 2026, the country’s flagship semiconductor industry event, running September 17–19 at Yashobhoomi.

Set up at Hall 1, Booth 623, Fujifilm will showcase its global semiconductor materials portfolio alongside a live technology demonstration of its Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) slurry solutions — a product line where the company holds a dominant global market share. If that sounds technical, here’s the simple version: CMP slurries are what let chipmakers polish silicon wafers down to near-perfect flatness, a step that’s non-negotiable for producing reliable, high-performance chips.

More Than A Trade Show Appearance

This isn’t Fujifilm dipping a toe into India’s chip ambitions — it’s building on groundwork already in motion. Back in June 2026, FUJIFILM India signed an MoU with the Gujarat State Electronics Mission to explore setting up semiconductor materials manufacturing in the state, a move aimed squarely at strengthening India’s domestic supply chain rather than just exporting finished products in.

Abhi Shekhar Singh, the company’s National Head for Strategy & Business Development in Electronic Materials, singled out the CMP slurry demo as the exhibition’s centerpiece — capable of polishing circuit surfaces to within 0.4 nanometers of flatness, a precision level that matters enormously as chip designs get smaller and more complex. MD Koji Wada framed the participation as part of a longer-term commitment to India’s semiconductor ecosystem, tying it to the company’s broader purpose of contributing to local industry growth.

With India actively courting global chip expertise to build a resilient domestic ecosystem, Fujifilm’s materials-first approach could end up being one of the quieter but more consequential pieces of that puzzle.
