The global market for Photoresist Cleaners was estimated to be worth US$ 1257 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 2121 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on Photoresist Cleaners cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
As part of the semiconductor wafer manufacturing process, numerous layer removal techniques are used to remove any unwanted layers from the substrate surface while minimizing the introduction of contamination. Photoresist is a light-sensitive organic material that is applied during photolithography to form a patterned coating on the surface to protect the underlying inorganic layers during the electronics manufacturing steps. Therefore, the photoresist layer needs to be removed at the end of the manufacturing process using photoresist cleaners.
Photoresist stripping is a key technology in the patterning process of semiconductor chip manufacturing, and photoresist cleaner is one of the key materials that determines the final patterning yield and reliability.
From a market perspective, the product is primarily used in wafer processing and flat panel displays. On the one hand, wafer processing places high demands on the purity and technical quality of photoresist strippers, resulting in a relatively high price. On the other hand, the usage of photoresist strippers accounts for a relatively small proportion of the overall wafer processing process, resulting in low consumption and high sales revenue. LCD/OLED presents a stark contrast to wafer processing, exhibiting high consumption and low sales revenue. OLED, in particular, consumes ten times more photoresist strippers than LCD. 2025 will mark the turning point for OLED to fully replace LCD. OLED penetration in the IT sector will jump from 16% to 35%, while LCD will maintain its existing market share through automotive and large-screen TVs. With the development of 5G, OLED penetration in consumer electronics such as mobile phones will continue to increase, and demand for photoresist strippers will also continue to grow.
This market is difficult for new entrants to enter. The global photoresist cleaning fluid market, based on revenue, has several major players, including Dongjin Semichem, DuPont, Merck (Versum Materials), and ENF Tech. The top five manufacturers hold over 40% of the market share, and competition in the industry is expected to intensify in the coming years, particularly in the Chinese market. The market is influenced not only by price but also by product performance. Leading companies offer superior performance, a wider product range, superior technology, and impeccable after-sales service.
Looking ahead to the next few years, the price gap between brands will narrow. Similarly, gross profit margins will fluctuate. Despite competitive challenges, we remain optimistic about this sector due to the slight rebound in global recovery trends, and we anticipate further new investment in the future.
