The revenue from sales of import-substituted materials for the Russian microelectronics industry is projected to reach 1.7 ₽ billion in 2026, marking a 17-fold increase compared to 2024. According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, revenue stood at 100 ₽ million in 2024 and grew to 560 ₽ million in 2025.
The range of available materials is expanding, with 69 items expected by the end of 2026, up from 34 in 2024. The government plans to increase this to 120 by 2029 and up to 250 by 2035. In 2026, the ministry aims to launch serial production of 15 new materials, including high-purity mercury, bismuth, and silicon carbide powders.
Future plans include the development of 15 additional materials in 2027, such as synthetic diamonds and gallium nitride structures. To support these efforts, the Ministry of Industry and Trade intends to allocate 4.68 ₽ billion between 2026 and 2028, with an estimated budget impact of 5.29 ₽ billion.
Despite growth, technological independence remains a challenge. Experts note that while 84% of materials are produced domestically, 90% of them rely on foreign raw materials. Russia aims to replace 70% of imported equipment and materials by 2030, supported by a development program with funding exceeding 240 ₽ billion.
