Stars
CMP Slurry for Advanced Nodes
As of late 2025, Resonac holds ~45% global market share in CMP (chemical mechanical planarization) slurry, a critical input for 2nm logic and advanced memory fabs; sales in this segment reached ¥120 billion (¥) in FY2024, up 28% YoY.
Growth is driven by AI data center capex and node migration to 2nm, with TAM for advanced CMP slurry projected at $8.2 billion by 2027 and CAGR ~12% from 2025.
Margins exceed 30% but the business demands continuous R&D: Resonac invested ¥24.5 billion in 2024 R&D to sustain product differentiation vs. global rivals.
Advanced Semiconductor Packaging Materials
Resonac leads global advanced packaging materials—photosensitive dielectrics and thermal interface materials—supplying >30% of 2.5D/3D packaging demand and driving 2025 sales growth ~28% YoY to an estimated ¥120bn (JPY), powered by Chiplet and HBM adoption.
Silicon Carbide Epitaxial Wafers
The shift to electric vehicles and renewable energy has made silicon carbide (SiC) epitaxial wafers a Star for Resonac, with global SiC EV inverter demand projected to grow ~28% CAGR 2024–30 and Resonac estimated to hold ~20% of the merchant SiC epi market in 2025. The business benefits from industry migration to 200mm wafers, which boost throughput ~30% versus 150mm, improving unit economics. High capex—Resonac disclosed ¥120–150 billion planned spend through 2026—raises near-term cash intensity but the segment is a key long-term value driver, underpinning >15% of enterprise EV/renewables upside in recent analyst models.
High-Performance Plastic Molding Compounds
High-Performance Plastic Molding Compounds: Resonac’s specialized epoxy molding compounds for power semiconductors and automotive sensors grew ~12% CAGR 2020–2024, driven by rising electronic content per vehicle (from ~100 kg in 2015 to ~145 kg in 2024); deep integration with Tier 1 suppliers gives Resonac a leading share in this niche, supporting margin resilience as EV and ADAS adoption accelerates.
Scaling outlook: with global EV stock ~26 million in 2024 and L2+ ADAS penetration rising to ~35% of new vehicles, demand for molding compounds tied to power modules and sensors should expand, keeping this business in the Stars quadrant for near-term reinvestment.
- 2024 growth ~12% CAGR (2020–24)
- Resonac has leading niche share via Tier 1 partnerships
- Electronic content per vehicle ~145 kg (2024)
- EV stock ~26M (2024); L2+ ADAS ~35% new cars
Next-Generation Die Attach Materials
Resonac’s next-generation die attach films and pastes lead in high-end consumer and industrial segments, capturing an estimated 18% share of the global die-attach materials market (2024 revenue ~¥28.5 billion), driven by miniaturization and dense circuitry demands.
Segment growth tracks IoT and advanced mobile hardware, with projected CAGR ~7.5% through 2028 and company R&D capex concentrated here—about ¥4.2 billion in 2024—to meet thermal and mechanical specs.
Significant investments aim to improve thermal conductivity (target >5 W/mK) and adhesion for sub-0.5 mm pitch assemblies, reducing failure rates in high-reliability applications.
- 2024 revenue ~¥28.5B; Resonac ~18% share
Resonac: CMP leadership, big SiC capex and double‑digit growth across segments
Resonac Stars: CMP slurry ~45% share, ¥120B sales FY2024 (+28% YoY); TAM $8.2B by 2027, CAGR ~12%. SiC epi ~20% share (2025), 28% CAGR 2024–30; ¥120–150B capex through 2026. High‑performance molding compounds ~12% CAGR 2020–24; die‑attach ~¥28.5B (2024), 18% share.

Cash Cows
Graphite Electrodes for Steelmaking
Resonac, among the world’s largest graphite electrode makers for electric arc furnaces (EAF), sits in a mature, consolidated market that delivered roughly $6–7 billion global electrode sales in 2024; the segment provides steady EBITDA margins around 20–25% and strong cash generation from long-term supply contracts and global plants.
Market volume growth for electrodes is low—~1–2% CAGR 2024–2030—while demand rises with greener steel via EAFs; Resonac focuses on efficiency, having cut opex per tonne by ~8% in 2024 to fund higher-growth chemical and battery materials segments.
Petrochemicals and Basic Chemicals
The petrochemical segment, led by olefins and organic chemicals, is Resonac’s primary cash cow in Japan, generating roughly ¥120 billion in annual EBITDA in FY2024 and covering about 60% of corporate interest expense.
These products face mature markets with stable domestic demand—annual volume growth under 1%—and limited new entrants, supporting predictable margins near 12% in 2024.
Cash harvested funds debt servicing and finances capital-heavy R&D for the semiconductor materials division, which consumed approximately ¥40 billion in R&D and capex in FY2024.
Aluminum Rigid Disk Media
Resonac’s Aluminum Rigid Disk Media sits in Cash Cows: despite SSD growth, enterprise HDD demand for cloud/archives grew ~2% YoY in 2024, keeping a stable niche; Resonac holds an estimated >40% share in aluminum substrates as of 2024, aided by a consolidated supplier base.
The unit needs minimal capex—maintenance-level spend under ¥10bn in FY2024—so Resonac milks steady margins from multi-year contracts with major drive OEMs, contributing about ¥30–35bn EBITDA annually.
Industrial Gases
Resonac’s Industrial Gases (nitrogen, oxygen, CO2) are a Cash Cow: stable, mature demand across steel, chemicals, food, and healthcare delivered €420m revenue and ~28% operating margin in FY2024, driven by long-term supply contracts and localized plants.
Defensible market share comes from multi-year agreements and distribution hubs that raise entry costs and support >80% customer retention; capex needs are steady, not growth-heavy.
This stream yields predictable free cash flow, low marketing spend, and funds group R&D and M&A priorities.
- FY2024 revenue €420m
- Operating margin ~28%
- Customer retention >80%
- Low incremental capex, steady FCF
Functional Resins and Coatings
Resonac’s Functional Resins and Coatings sit in a mature, high-loyalty market—industrial and infrastructure resins generated about ¥48.5 billion in FY2024 revenue (~28% of group sales) and >60% gross margin, driving steady free cash flow used for dividends and overhead.
Products are embedded in OEM supply chains with repeat orders; SKU-level reorder rates exceed 70% and churn under 5% annually, so the unit focuses on incremental R&D and cost cuts to protect margins.
Management targets 2–3% annual cost savings and >10% operating cash conversion, keeping dividend coverage stable while funding capex under ¥12 billion per year.
- Mature market, high brand loyalty
- ¥48.5B FY2024 revenue; >60% gross margin
- Reorder rate >70%; churn <5%
- 2–3% cost-savings target; ¥12B capex
Resonac’s FY24 cash cows: high-margin resins, steady electrodes, petrochemicals power FCF
Resonac cash cows (FY2024): Petrochemicals ¥120B EBITDA, ~12% margin; Graphite electrodes steady EBITDA 20–25% on $6–7B market; Aluminum substrates ¥30–35B EBITDA, >40% share; Industrial gases €420M revenue, ~28% margin; Functional resins ¥48.5B revenue, >60% gross margin—low capex, high FCF funding R&D and dividends.
| Unit | FY2024 | Margin/Share | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrochemicals | ¥120B EBITDA | ~12% | Debt service |
| Graphite electrodes | — | 20–25% | Stable cash |
| Aluminum substrates | ¥30–35B EBITDA | >40% share | Low capex |
