While the end markets for 300 mm wafers are growing, Siltronic expects a decline in 200 mm wafers this year due to stronger inventory reduction by customers in the power segment.

In this context, the Executive Board expects sales to be in the mid-single-digit percent range below the previous year (2025 preliminary: EUR 1,347 million), with a subdued start into the year. The guidance is based on an exchange rate of EUR/USD 1.18 (previous year: EUR/USD 1.13).
