Global Semiconductor Resists Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Semiconductor Resists market size is predicted to grow from US$ 6471 million in 2025 to US$ 9351 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2025 to 2031.

Semiconductor resists are light-sensitive materials used in the photolithography process of semiconductor manufacturing. These resists are applied as thin films onto silicon wafers and selectively exposed to ultraviolet (UV), deep ultraviolet (DUV), or extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light through a photomask to create circuit patterns. Depending on their reaction to light exposure, they are classified as positive resists (where exposed areas become soluble) or negative resists (where exposed areas harden and remain). Semiconductor resists play a crucial role in defining the resolution and accuracy of integrated circuits (ICs) and advanced semiconductor devices. With the shift toward sub-10nm nodes, the industry is transitioning to EUV resists to achieve finer patterning and higher chip performance.

The Semiconductor Resists market is driven by the increasing demand for advanced semiconductor manufacturing, fueled by the growth of AI, 5G, IoT, and automotive electronics. Semiconductor resists, including photoresists and anti-reflective coatings, are critical materials used in photolithography to define circuit patterns on wafers. The market is segmented by type (ArF, KrF, EUV, and I-line resists) and application (logic chips, memory chips, MEMS, and power semiconductors). With the shift towards advanced nodes (7nm, 5nm, 3nm, and beyond), there is a growing need for high-resolution EUV resists. Leading manufacturers like JSR, Tokyo Ohka Kogyo (TOK), Fujifilm, and DuPont dominate the industry, while emerging players focus on innovation in multi-patterning and low-defect materials. Asia-Pacific, led by Taiwan, South Korea, and China, remains the largest market due to strong semiconductor foundry activities. The industry is poised for further growth, driven by increasing chip complexity and localization efforts in semiconductor supply chains.
