The global photoacid generator market for semiconductor industry is expected to grow positively through 2032 owing to the surging use of photoacid generators in the semiconductors industry.

The demand for photoacid generators is projected to be fueled by expanding markets for advanced and small semiconductors as well as a developing electronics sector. The U.S. electronics industry generated over USD 420 billion in revenue in 2020, indicating a significant growth potential for the semiconductor sector.

The photoacid generator market for semiconductor industry has been divided in terms of application and region.

Based on application, the printed circuit board (PCB) segment is slated to amass sizable revenue over the review timeline. PCB market share is projected to increase due to the expanding product use in everyday electronics and the rising demand for advanced solutions.

Meanwhile, under PCB, the non-ionic photoacid segment is poised to register over 5% gains by 2032. In several semiconductor industries, non-ionic PAG solutions are employed to create solutions. Product demand is likely to be bolstered by the growing need for affordable, secure, and easily customized solutions.

From the regional perspective, the North America photoacid generator market is speculated to attain a high market share by the end of the research period. The surging need for electrical and telecommunication products is increasing tremendously. Examples include smartphones with microprocessors, portable media players, memory chips, discrete circuits, and analog devices. The growing demand for OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) is further set to fuel the regional growth.

On the other hand, the Latin America photoacid generator market for semiconductor industry is estimated to grow steadily through the analysis timeframe. This can be credited to their expanding use as ingredients in photocurable polymer formulations and chemically amplified photoresists in the microelectronics industry. The photocrosslinking of epoxy-based polymers also uses photoacid generators in photopolymer systems, which is slated to have a favorable impact on the overall regional market growth.

Meanwhile, the Middle East & Africa photoacid generator market for semiconductor industry is projected to expand substantially over the research period. The MEA market is expanding as a result of the rising demand for printed circuit boards due to their growing use of electronic equipment such as large circuit boards, remote control units, and calculators. Since photoacid generators are now more widely used in the production of IC devices, demand for them is likewise rising.

Some of the major companies operating in the market include Heraeus Holding, FUJIFILM Corporation, Chembridge International Corp, Ltd, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., Toyo Gosei Co. Ltd., TOKYO OHKA KOGYO CO., LTD., San-Apro Ltd., and more.
