According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Electronic Wet Chemicals Market is accounted for $3.67 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $5.06 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. Semiconductor production and processing heavily rely on electronic wet chemicals. These substances are widely employed in a variety of industries, including the production of semiconductor chips, flat-panel displays, LEDs, and solar cells. The semiconductor industry's rising need for hydrogen peroxide has had a significant impact on the expansion of the market for electronic wet chemicals. In keeping with this, the electronics industry's fast technical improvements are also playing an important role in electronic wet chemicals.
According to the India Electronics and Semiconductor Association, the semiconductor component market in the country is expected to be worth USD 32.35 billion by 2025.
Market DynamicsDriverInnovations in technology with regard to the electronics sector
Electronic wet chemicals are becoming more widely used in the semiconductor and electronics sectors. In fields including new energy, contemporary communications, computers, information network technology, microcomputer mechanical intelligence systems, industrial automation, and household appliances, their utilisation is on the rise. Additionally, the predicted period will see a surge in the market for electronic wet chemicals due to the fabrication of electrical components using semiconductors and integrated circuits. Therefore, it is anticipated that the main driver propelling the electronic wet chemicals market.
RestraintRestrictions on specific substances strict in terms of health and the environment
Numerous chemicals are used in the fabrication of electronics by the industry. Some chemicals and gases, such as hydrogen chloride gas, combustible gases, and different kinds of solvents, are hazardous to both humans and the environment. In addition to causing cancer, prolonged and excessive exposure to certain solvents may harm the liver, kidneys, lungs, and reproductive organs. Due to the usage of dangerous chemicals in the production of electronic devices, businesses now have to comply with a number of rules and regulations that might either directly or indirectly affect their capacity to make a profit. The cost of operation has increased as a result of compliance with these requirements. The supply chain's restrictions build up, and there are significant costs associated with them thereby hinder the market.
OpportunityIT infrastructure improvements with emerging technologies like AI and IoT
For makers of electronic chemicals, the application of AI-related technologies has created a wide range of options. A new product subcategory of intelligent home gadgets has been produced as a result of the introduction of new technologies like IoT (Internet of Things) and AI. The market for electronic wet chemicals now has a new revenue application thanks to the growing demand for electric automobiles. High-end LED and LCD television sets are helping the digital display sector raise standards, and they will also need top-notch electronic chemicals for cleaning and etching. The market trend towards the usage of electronic wet chemicals is thus anticipated to be supported by new and emerging technologies.
ThreatOld technologies are being used less and less quickly
Because of the development of cloud-based storage, technologies like memory chips and data centres are deteriorating quickly. Physical data storage is no longer as necessary, which has led to a reduction in memory chip manufacture and a corresponding decline in the demand for electronic wet chemicals. The time it takes to adjust to new technologies might ultimately result in a loss of revenue for the smaller firms. In order to generate the best results, the chemicals employed in the manufacture of semiconductors must be exact and of the highest calibre given the growing popularity of mobile devices and the shrinking size of integrated circuits and semiconductors.
Covid-19 ImpactManufacturing facilities for these providers may be found in several nations in Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, South America, and the Middle East & Africa. Their companies have been harmed by COVID-19 as well. Due to decrease demand, supply-chain constraints, and to ensure the safety of their employees in the US, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain during the COVID-19 epidemic, these players have announced the halt of production, electronic wet chemicals would decrease. Production will probably be adjusted by manufacturers to avoid bottlenecks and to accommodate tier 1 manufacturer demand.
The consumer goods segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The consumer goods segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to rising disposable income, a shift in lifestyle, and rising usage of technological items like smartphones and laptops. All goods are mostly in demand from consumers, producers of agricultural products or manufacturers of industrial goods both generate a variety of goods in response to consumer demand. During the projected period, these variables are anticipated to enhance demand.
The semiconductor segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The semiconductor segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to rising demand for modern electronics and consumer products like smart phones, laptops, and other items, the semiconductor market is expanding quickly. Furthermore, high-end LED and LCD sets are driving up semiconductor demand. Additionally, growing demand from the automotive sector, particularly for electric cars, has created new prospects for producers of electronic wet chemicals.
Region with highest share
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market share during the forecast period owing to the increase in investments in electronics manufacturing, it is anticipated that the market in the region's growing economies, including China, India, would grow at a substantial rate during the projected period. In the near future, the market in Asia Pacific is likely to be driven by growth in FDI investment in the electronic sector in China and India, increased focus on manufacturing in the electronics sector through the 'Make in India' campaign, and increased government efforts.
Region with highest CAGREurope is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the existence of major producers and suppliers of electronic materials and equipment that support the region's use of electronic chemicals, Europe's electronic chemicals market holds the second-largest market share. Additionally, the UK electronic chemicals market had the quickest rate of growth in the European region, while the German electronic chemicals market had the greatest market share.
