Global KrF Photoresist Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global KrF Photoresist market size was valued at US$ 790 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 1310 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 8.5% during review period.

Photoresist is a photosensitive mixed liquid, and its main purpose is to transfer the image on the mask to the silicon chip. KrF photoresist is a key material used in the photolithography process in semiconductor manufacturing. KrF photoresist is very sensitive to 248 nanometer ultraviolet light, so it can accurately replicate the pattern on the mask during the photolithography process.

KrF photoresist has important applications in the field of semiconductor manufacturing, mainly used to manufacture small and medium-sized integrated circuits. At present, with the continuous advancement of semiconductor technology, the market demand for KrF photoresist remains stable, especially in the production of 8-inch and 12-inch wafers, where it still has a place. In the future, as the demand for higher integration and smaller feature sizes increases, KrF photoresist may face competition from EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography technology. However, due to its relatively low cost and continued effectiveness in specific applications, KrF photoresist will continue to play an important role in the short term. In addition, with the advancement of material technology, the performance of KrF photoresist is expected to be further improved to meet the requirements of advanced processes. Therefore, while maintaining its existing applications, the KrF photoresist market may expand to the high-end market, and is expected to coexist with EUV photoresist technology to form a diversified market structure.

Global key players of KrF Photoresist include Tokyo Ohka Kogyo, DuPont, JSR Corporation, Shin-Etsu Chemical, Sumitomo, etc. The top five players hold a share about 86%. China is the largest market, and has a share about 52%, followed by North America and South Korea with share 20% and 12%, separately. In terms of product type, Positive Photoresist is the largest segment, occupied for a share of 66%. In terms of application, Memory has a share about 56 percent.
