The global Electronic Chemicals market has grown tremendously in the past five years and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.67% during the forecast period. Electronic chemicals are used in the automotive and electronic appliance sectors for the manufacturing of chips and integrated circuits, and both these industries are growing, globally. Furthermore, digital semiconductors, which are used in computers, servers, tablets, mobile phones and consumer electronics, require special electronic chemicals for high-end performance and production.
The demand for semiconductors and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) has increased with a rise in the use of smartphones and computers across the globe. Smartphone manufacturing companies are rolling out new models and different variants as per geographical and customer buying behavior, owing to the lockdown imposed across the globe because of COVID-19, the demand for computers and other electronic devices have surged thus generating the demand for semiconductors and PCB which further propels the demand for electronic chemicals.
Electronic Chemicals can be divided on the basis of type as Ancillary Chemicals, CMP Slurries & Pads, Wet Deposition and Gases. Electronic gases possess the largest share in the global electronic chemicals market, owing to their use in large volume. Their common applications include usage during the production of semiconductors and IC. Different gases are required to produce integrated circuits. The operations include oxidation, deposition, etching, sputtering and doping. Ancillary chemicals are used for various applications in semiconductor and integrated circuit manufacturing such as cleaning, etching and photolithography. CMP Slurries & Pads are used to design small size chips for multiple applications because they serve as a good smoothening agent. Wet Deposition chemicals are majorly used in copper electroplating, as it prevents the base metal from corrosion and other factors.
Semiconductors & IC, PCB are the major end use of electronic chemicals, Semiconductors & IC are holding the major share in electronic chemical market and expected to hold the same during the forecast period.
The demand for Electronic Chemicals has recently taken an exponential pace in Asian market as the majority of PCB and semiconductor companies production unit is located in APAC region followed by North America. In the APAC region, South Korea is the leading consumer of electronic chemicals followed by Taiwan and Japan.
In North America, Electronic Chemicals has shown a higher growth rate in the past as major semiconductor companies are located in North America. USA is the largest consumer of electronic chemicals and the majority of semiconductors are exported to the European and Asian market. Further, due to the rolling of 5G in Europe, China, South Korea and other countries the demand for semiconductors chips has raised, further developing economies such as India and other countries are planning to roll out 5G networks in coming years thus propelling the demand for semiconductors and PCB, which further propels the demand for electronic chemicals in USA.
