Patterning Material Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Positive 248 nm, Positive 193 nm Dry Resist, I-line and g-line, TARC, 193 NM dry immersion resist and Other Products), By Application (MEMS and NEMS Devices, Integrated Circuits and PCBs, Dynamic Random Access Memory, Automotive Sensors, Glass Printed Circuit Board, Lab on-chip and Organ on-chip devices and Other Applications) and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Patterning Material Market is accounted for $4.49 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $7.09 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period. Materials known as patterning materials can be used to create recurring patterns on a surface. Wax, paint, and ink are frequently used patterning materials. There are many different ways to use patterning materials, from printing on paper to making fabric prints. Lithography is the term used most frequently to describe the patterning process. Information storage devices, integrated circuits, displays, sensors, biochips, MEMS (microelectromechanical systems), and micro-optical components are the principal applications for patterning materials.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), globally, more than 1.55 million people are killed in road accidents every year, and about 50 million people get injured. Due to this, there is an increasing demand for safety and security in automobiles and this is one of the major factors which is impacting the growth of the market positively.
Market DynamicsDriverGrowing demand from the electronics industry
Integrated circuits, information storage devices, displays, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), sensors, biochips, and micro-optical components are the main applications for patterning materials. Sensor use in automobiles, robots, and other electrical equipment has increased significantly recently. The demand for patterning materials from industrialized countries has surged due to numerous advances in technology. Additionally, worldwide demand for information storage devices is robust, and these devices are utilized in computers, mobile phones, hard drives, USBs, and other devices.
RestraintHigh manufacturing costs
Patterning materials' rising costs are impeding the expansion of their market. For their applications in NEMS and MEMS devices, automotive sensors, and other end-use sectors, patterning materials are widely used. The cost of processing and manufacturing is extremely costly and difficult due to the need for expensive high-tech machinery, a lengthy manufacturing period, and dust-free rooms. The growth of the market is anticipated to be hampered by higher production investments in patterning materials as well as high expenses related to their use. The patterning material sector is experiencing significant difficulties because of factors like rising manufacturing costs.
OpportunityTechnological developments
The main drivers of the global patterning materials market include the rising demand for nanotechnology, the demand for energy-efficient devices, technological developments in the nanotechnology sector, the rising demand for smartphones, tablets, and laptops, and the rising demand for integrated circuits (ICs). One of the main factors driving the growth of the global patterning materials market is the expanding advances in the field of nanotechnology and the growing adoption rate of nanotechnology in the major countries of the world.
ThreatVarious aspects hindering market growth
Due to moisture absorption, dimensions change. It might expand or contract. Not appropriate for industrial production. On the surface, abrasion takes place. When compared to metal, a high dimension tolerance is required. Giving precise surface details is really difficult. Due to its low conflict with sand abrasion, it exhausts rapidly. A wooden design cannot be used in this way for an extended period of time. This restricts its application to this particular scenario only when a few places are required.
Covid-19 ImpactIn 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak posed a significant challenge to the market for patterning materials because the supply chain was disrupted by trade restrictions and their usage decreased as a result of government-ordered lockdowns implemented globally. Movement restrictions caused severe delays in raw material delivery, disruptions in cash flow, and a spike in absences among factory workers. These elements have an impact on a number of their suppliers as well as the automotive, industrial, and other end-use industries. After the restrictions were relaxed in 2021, the end-use industries slowly started to recover.
The MEMS and NEMS Devices segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
MEMS and NEMS Devices segment is expected to dominate the market throughout the projected period as sensors and actuators frequently use NEMS and MEMS. MEMS technology has the potential to be used to manufacture sensors like accelerometers, gyroscopes, and light-sensitive sensors in a variety of end-use sectors. Additionally, due to the increasing need for electronics and automotive components around the world, it is predicted that the MEMS device segment will dominate the global market for patterning materials in the future.
The automotive sensors segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Automotive Sensors segment is expected to have substantial growth over the forecasted period. Automotive electronic control systems must include automotive sensors. These are machines that transform physical quantities like pressure, air, or acceleration into output signals that subsequently act as control systems' input signals.
Region with largest shareDue to China's highly developed vehicle industry and ongoing investments made in the region over the years to progress the electronic industry, Asia-Pacific is predicted to dominate the worldwide market over the prediction period. The improvements in semiconductor manufacturing processes are mostly due to the materials used for patterning. However, the primary producers of electronic components in the Asia-Pacific region are China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam.
Region with highest CAGRAsia pacific region is witnessed to have profitable growth throughout the extrapolated period, owing to the expansion of production and assembly facilities for automotive components in the Asia-Pacific region and the introduction of the most recent technologies and sensors to automobiles, it is anticipated that this will open up opportunities for the usage of patterning materials in the near future. Additionally, the automotive industry may make substantial use of MEMS sensors to regulate airbags in the case of a collision.
