Photoresist and ancillaries is a critical component in the semiconductor manufacturing process, particularly in the production of microchips that power these devices. As a result, the demand for photoresist and ancillaries is expected to continue to rise in response to the increasing demand for smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other electronic devices, which is driving the growth of the market.
Competitive analysis such as market structure, market share by key players, player positioning, top winning strategies, competitive dashboard, and company evaluation quadrant has been covered in the report. Also, detailed profiles of all major companies have been provided. The market structure is concentrated with a small number of key players having majority of the share in the market. The volume of new entrants is low in the photoresist and photoresist ancillaries industry due to the high product differentiation, low number of raw material suppliers, and high initial investment.
What are Photoresist and Photoresist Ancillaries?
A photoresist is a light-sensitive material that undergoes a chemical change when exposed to light during the process of photolithography, which is a technique for creating patterns on a substrate, typically a silicon wafer. Depending on the chemistry of the resist, it can either be positive or negative. Photoresist ancillaries include adhesion promoters, edge bead removers, primers, and antireflective coatings, which are used in conjunction with photoresists to improve their performance or facilitate photolithography. Upon exposure to light, photoresist materials undergo a chemical change, and can be dissolved in a developer solution to reveal the patterned substrate. In order to create microelectronic devices, MEMS, or other microstructures, photoresists are used to create patterns on a substrate, while edge bead removers are used to remove excess photoresist from the substrate edges that can interfere with subsequent processing processes.
COVID-19 Impact:
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has caused a severe problem for the photoresist and photoresist ancillaries industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous aspects. With regards to the imports of major raw materials required for manufacturing, the global crisis has resulted in challenges in obtaining necessary raw materials. Supply chains were impacted due to lockdown measures, with temporary production halts causing project delays and process disruptions. Logistics providers faced challenges in transporting goods, particularly across borders as well as manufacturers faced component shortages. However, the global market has been growing at a stable rate post-pandemic, and major companies have adjusted their production facilities in compliance with government directives to meet product demand.
Photoresist and Photoresist Ancillaries Market Trends:
The photoresist and photoresist ancillaries market is primarily driven by the widespread usage in flat-panel displays and consumer electronics. This can be attributed to the continual technological advancements in the manufacturing of electrical and electronics devices. Additionally, the growing trend of miniaturization of electronic devices leading to an increased demand for photoresists and ancillaries for the manufacturing of smaller and more efficient semiconductors and ICs is providing an impetus to the market. The rising usage of the Internet of Things (IoT) resulting in IoT devices requiring advanced semiconductors and ICs is also creating lucrative opportunities in the market. The market is further driven by the numerous innovations in the manufacturing of medical devices and equipment. Apart from this, the augmenting demand for renewable energy technologies, such as solar panels, leading to the rapid utilization of photoresist and photoresist ancillaries in the production of solar cells is also fueling the market. Furthermore, numerous strategies such as merger and acquisitions (M&As), partnerships and collaborations conducted by key players to enhance their geographical presence are also acting as a significant growth-inducing factor. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include rapid urbanization and industrialization, inflating disposable income levels, the advent of autonomous and connected vehicles, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities.
