The global electronic chemicals and materials market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.11% to reach US$74.928 billion by 2027, from US$46.332 billion in 2020.

There are a variety of chemicals and materials that are used for the processes and packing of products and components like silicon wafers, printed circuit boards, integrated circuits, and semiconductors in the electronics industry and are referred to as electronic chemicals and materials. Different chemicals are used in the electronics industry during and after the manufacture of electronic components for different devices. Some of these chemicals used for the manufacturing of silicon wafers include hydrochloric acid, ammonium chloride, and ammonia. Herein, hydrogen chloride is used to remove any impurities, and ammonium chloride is used for the production of polysilicon crystals. Photoresistors can also be applied on top of silicon wafers to give them the ability to facilitate the process of photolithography. For the manufacturing of semiconductors, different chemicals like ammonium hydroxide, isopropyl alcohol, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and sulphuric acid among others. Rising disposable income has led to increasing demand for consumer electronics such as entertainment devices, mobile phones, and laptops, which is boosting the demand for these chemicals and materials. Moreover, the stringent requirements for the purity of processing chemicals used for fabricating integrated circuits, silicon wafers, and ICs will become more complex with advanced circuits being developed, which is the direct result of devices getting more technologically advanced, which will also bolster the market growth further.

Furthermore, the increasing investments, acquisitions, and participation of market players are augmenting the demand for these chemicals. For instance, recently, in 2019, Samsung announced the launch of its latest TV called “The Wall” which uses micro-LED technology and up to 8k resolution. This TV is modular and flexible and can be made in any size and design.

Silicon wafers to hold a dominant market share

Silicon wafers are silicon crystal, which has been cut into thin slices. The silicon wafers are mostly used in the fabrication and manufacturing of Integrated Circuits (ICs) and other microelectronics-based devices. By type, the silicon wafer segment is estimated to hold a significant market share, which can be attributed to the benefits and its usage across a wide range of components.

Semiconductor and IC display to hold a significant share

By application, the semiconductor and IC segments are expected to hold a significant market share due to increasing consumer electronics and smart devices making the use of these components, Also, the displays segment will show market potential due to technological advancements.

The Asia Pacific and North America will account for major demand for these chemicals

By geography, the Asia Pacific and North American regions are expected to hold a significant market share, which is attributed to the well-developed and high-output electronics industry in countries like China in the Asia Pacific region. whereas, the US has a well-established chemical industry in the North American region.

Key developments

  • In July 2022, Imperial College of London and BASF SE., have entered into a strategic partnership for a range of research that included techniques to use energy and material more efficiently. This strategic partnership will mainly focus on developing continuous methods for low-volume, high-value products such as speciality chemicals.
  • Entegris, Inc. a leading chemicals and advanced materials solutions company for the microelectronics industry completed its acquisition of CMC materials in July 2022. The acquisition is aimed at creating the company as a global leader in electronic materials. After completion of the acquisition, Entegris will operate in four divisions namely Microcontamination control (MC), Specialty Chemicals and engineered materials (SCEM), Advanced materials handling (AMH), and Advanced Planarization Solutions (APS) division.

COVID-19 Impact on Electronic Chemicals and Materials Market

The global electronic chemicals and materials market was adversely affected by the COVID-19 epidemic because of the stringent restrictions imposed by the government on limiting the workforce. Therefore, several electronic chemical and materials manufacturers considerably reduced their operations. These circumstances hindered the global electronic chemicals and material market growth during the pandemic. But, due to the significant advancements in the application of electronic chemicals in the electronic industry, the market is expected to grow during the forecast period.
