The global IC Photoresist market size is predicted to grow from US$ 2529 million in 2025 to US$ 3853 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2025 to 2031.
Photoresist is a chemical essential for semiconductor manufacturing. The photoresists known as a photosensitive material, initiate a chemical reaction in the light. It is a chemical that plays an essential role in photolithography, a technology that is involved in the manufacture of semiconductor devices. In the semiconductor manufacturing, the exposure process that a photoengraving technique is applied to reduce and transfer the design drawn on the original plate (photomask) onto the silicon chip. To create power-saving, high-performance semiconductors, the circuits that are to be transferred need to be rendered smaller.
Currently the global IC photoresists are mainly produced in Japan, USA, China Taiwan, and South Korea. The key manufacturers of IC photoresists include TOKYO OHKA KOGYO CO., LTD. (TOK), JSR, Shin-Etsu Chemical, DuPont, Fujifilm, Sumitomo Chemical and Dongjin Semichem, The top seven manufacturers in 2023 accounted for approximately 86% of the global market share.
The global market for Integrated Circuit (IC) was estimated at US$ 428.4 billion in the year 2023, is projected to US$ 698.3 billion by 2030. IC Manufacturing is the process used to manufacture semiconductor devices, typically integrated circuits (ICs) such as computer processors, microcontrollers, and memory chips (such as NAND flash and DRAM). According to our research, the global semiconductor manufacturing (wafer fabrication) market is projected to grow from US$ 251.7 billion in 2023 to US$ 506.5 billion by 2030, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 40.49% during the forecast period. This will drive rapid growth of global photoresists.
