Description

The global Photoinitiator for Semiconductor Photoresist market size is predicted to grow from US$ million in 2025 to US$ million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of %from 2025 to 2031.

Semiconductor photoresist photoinitiator is a chemical substance used in the semiconductor manufacturing process for photoresist layer exposure and pattern transfer in lithography processes. Photoresist is a photosensitive material that can form the desired pattern structure on the surface of semiconductors through exposure and development processes. Photoinitiator is a component in photoresist that plays a role in initiating chemical reactions during the exposure process. The main function of photoinitiators is to produce chemical reactions when the photoresist is exposed to ultraviolet light, leading to the solidification or dissolution of the photoresist. Specifically, photoinitiators absorb ultraviolet energy, stimulate electronic transitions, and trigger chemical chain reactions in photolithography, causing it to solidify or dissolve. Different types of photoresists and photoinitiators have different characteristics and applicability. Choosing the appropriate combination of photoresist photoinitiators can achieve high-resolution and high-precision pattern transfer, which is crucial for the manufacturing of semiconductor devices.

Following a strong growth of 26.2 percent in the year 2021, WSTS revised it down to a single digit growth for the worldwide semiconductor market in 2022 with a total size of US$580 billion, up 4.4 percent. WSTS lowered growth estimation as inflation rises and end markets seeing weaker demand, especially those exposed to consumer spending. While some major categories are still double-digit year-over-year growth in 2022, led by Analog with 20.8 percent, Sensors with 16.3 percent, and Logic with 14.5 percent growth. Memory declined with 12.6 percent year over year. In 2022, all geographical regions showed double-digit growth except Asia Pacific. The largest region, Asia Pacific, declined 2.0 percent. Sales in the Americas were US$142.1 billion, up 17.0% year-on-year, sales in Europe were US$53.8 billion, up 12.6% year-on-year, and sales in Japan were US$48.1 billion, up 10.0% year-on-year. However, sales in the largest Asia-Pacific region were US$336.2 billion, down 2.75% year-on-year.
