Global Photoresist for Electroplating Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Photoresist for Electroplating market size is predicted to grow from US$ 183 million in 2025 to US$ 256 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2025 to 2031.

Photoresist is a light-sensitive material used in the process of electroplating to create patterns on metal surfaces. Photoresist is applied to the surface of the metal substrate and then exposed to ultraviolet light through a mask or stencil, causing it to become more or less soluble depending on the intensity and duration of the exposure. The exposed areas are then removed with a developer solution, leaving behind the unexposed photoresist and a pattern on the metal surface.

The pattern created by the photoresist serves as a template for the subsequent electroplating process, where metal ions are attracted to the exposed areas of the substrate and deposited onto it, resulting in the formation of a metallic layer with the desired pattern.

There are different types of photoresist materials available for use in electroplating, including positive and negative photoresists. Positive photoresists become more soluble upon exposure to light, while negative photoresists become less soluble.

The global core manufacturers of Photoresist for Electroplating include TOKYO OHKA KOGYO, JSR Corportion and Merck KGaA. The top three companies account for about 68% of the market.
