The global electronics chemicals and materials market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.48% over the forecast period, reaching a market size of US$87.183 billion by 2030, increasing from US$66.758 billion in 2025.
Introduction
A variety of chemicals and materials are used in the processes and packaging of products and components, such as silicon wafers, printed circuit boards, integrated circuits, and semiconductors, in the electronics industry. These are collectively 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. Here, hydrogen chloride is used to remove any impurities, and ammonium chloride is used for the production of polysilicon crystals. Photoresists can also be applied on top of silicon wafers, enabling them to facilitate the photolithography process. For the manufacturing of semiconductors, various chemicals are used, including ammonium hydroxide, isopropyl alcohol, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and sulfuric acid, among others.
Market Trends:
- Increasing disposable income has spurred a growing demand for consumer electronics-such as entertainment systems, mobile phones, and laptops-thereby driving the need for related chemicals and materials.
- Additionally, as advanced circuits evolve, the demand for high-purity processing chemicals used in the production of integrated circuits, silicon wafers, and ICs will intensify due to their increasing complexity. This trend, fueled by the ongoing technological sophistication of devices, is expected to further accelerate market growth.
- Asia Pacific and North America to Drive Major Demand for These Chemicals
From a geographical perspective, the Asia Pacific and North American regions are projected to command a substantial share of the market.
