Photoresist Chemicals Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Type (Positive Photoresist, Negative Photoresist), By Application (Etching, Photolithography, Microelectronics, Sand Carving, Others), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2019 To 2024

The photoresist chemicals market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.90% to reach US$5.078 billion by 2024, from US$3.600 billion in 2018.

The photoresist is a light-sensitive material that is used in processes such as photolithography and photoengraving to form a pattern on the semiconductor material. They have been widely used in microelectronics and microsystems technologies for the fabrication of microfabrication and sub-micron fabrication structures. The miniaturization of electronic products and rising demand for LED displays are boosting the demand for photoresist chemicals.

The market is expected to grow at a moderate rate over the forecast period owing to the evolving semiconductor fabrication industry. Geographically, Asia Pacific holds a significant share in the market owing to the evolving electronic industry and manufacturers opening photoresist plants in countries like China, Taiwan and etc. For an instance, in April 2015, Shin-Etsu Chemical spent $108 million to build a plant in Taiwan for photoresists used in semiconductor lithography.
