Electronic chemicals and materials are high-purity substances employed as the primary components in various electronic applications, ensuring minimal contamination in a range of industrial chemicals.
The main products within the electronic chemicals and materials category include wafers, atmospheric and specialty gases, ancillary and photoresist chemicals, CMP (Chemical Mechanical Planarization) slurries and pads, and other related products. Wafers, specifically, serve as substrates in the semiconductor fabrication process, playing a crucial role in both wafer fabrication and packaging applications. These materials find applications across different end-users, with a particular emphasis on the semiconductor industry and various other sectors.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the electronic chemicals and materials market by increasing costs of imported wafers, specialty gases, photoresists, and chemical precursors used in semiconductor manufacturing. Fabrication facilities in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported high-purity materials, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on export-oriented chemical production. These tariffs are raising production costs and influencing supplier selection strategies. At the same time, they are accelerating localization of chemical supply chains and investment in domestic material production capabilities.
The electronic chemicals and materials market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides electronic chemicals and materials market statistics, including electronic chemicals and materials industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a electronic chemicals and materials market share, detailed electronic chemicals and materials market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the electronic chemicals and materials industry. This electronic chemicals and materials market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The electronic chemicals and materials market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $80.47 billion in 2025 to $89.17 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of semiconductor fabrication capacity, growth in consumer electronics production, rising investments in wafer manufacturing, increasing complexity of chip architectures, availability of high-purity chemical supply chains.
The electronic chemicals and materials market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $132.91 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for advanced logic and memory chips, rising investments in domestic semiconductor manufacturing, expansion of packaging and advanced node technologies, growing focus on sustainable chemical formulations, increasing adoption of ai-driven chip production. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for ultra-high-purity materials, rising use of advanced photoresist chemicals, growing adoption of cmp slurries and pads, expansion of specialty gas consumption, enhanced focus on contamination control.
The rising inclination for connected devices and smart technologies is expected to propel the growth of the electronic chemicals and materials market going forward. Connected devices refer to any physical objects that are connected to other devices or systems with the help of the internet. Electronic chemicals and materials support connected devices and smart technologies by serving as core components such as memories, displays, and LEDs in various devices including mobile phones, computers, laptops, tablets, GPS devices, LED bulbs, TVs, and monitors. For instance, in July 2025, according to the European Commission, a Belgium-based governing body, in 2023 there were approximately 40 billion IoT-connected devices in use, and this number is expected to rise to 49 billion by 2026, reflecting an annual growth rate of 7%. Therefore, the rising inclination for connected devices and smart technologies is driving the electronic chemicals and materials market.
Major companies operating in the electronic chemicals and materials market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as electronic-grade solvents, to meet the growing demand for advanced semiconductor manufacturing and other high-tech applications. Electronic-grade solvents refer to high-purity chemical solvents specifically formulated for use in the manufacturing of electronic components, particularly semiconductors, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and other microelectronic devices. For instance, in August 2024, Eastman Chemical Company, a US-based chemical company, launched a new electronic-grade solvent, EastaPure Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), a high-purity solvent for semiconductor production. It performs well in applications such as wafer cleaning and impurity removal, requiring fast drying and dewatering. Its rapid evaporation rate and compatibility with polar resins make it ideal for electronic cleaning chemicals and photoresist solvents.
