The electronic chemicals market size was valued at US$ 46.35 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 76.38 billion by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 6.4% from 2022 to 2030.

The electronics industry utilizes a wide range of specialty chemicals such as CMP slurries, solvents, surfactants, photoresist chemicals, wet chemicals, and acids for the manufacturing of electronic components and products, including silicon wafers, printed circuit boards, and integrated circuits. Electronic components are used in many industries, such as automotive, consumer electronics, telecommunication, and energy storage systems. The growing consumption of integrated circuits and development in the semiconductor industry, supported by government policies is boosting the global electronics industry, subsequently driving the electronic chemicals market. The global electronic chemicals market size is likely to surge by 2030 owing to the emerging applications in renewable energy.

Major factors driving the market growth are the expanding semiconductor industry and rising demand for flat-panel displays. The semiconductor industry is witnessing considerable growth owing to the increasing demand for electronic devices and the proliferation of emerging applications such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and automotive electronics. As a result of continuous innovation, semiconductor technology has evolved rapidly in the past few years, enabling the development of small, fast, and energy-efficient chips with better processing capabilities. Furthermore, the growing focus on technological advancements in semiconductor manufacturing contributes significantly to the electronic chemicals market growth. Additionally, flat-panel displays such as liquid crystal displays, organic light-emitting diode displays, and microLED displays require sophisticated manufacturing processes that rely on electronic chemicals. These chemicals are used for cleaning, patterning, coating, encapsulation, and surface treatment steps to fabricate various layers and components of flat-panel displays. Cleaning agents such as solvents, surfactants, and etchants are used to remove contaminants, particles, and residues from glass substrates and semiconductor layers. Thus, the automotive industry is contributing to the growing electronic chemicals market size.

Based on product type, the market is segmented into CMP slurries, photoresist chemicals, wet chemicals, acids, and others. The wet chemicals segment accounts for the largest electronic chemicals market share. Wet chemicals encompass a wide range of solutions and formulations tailored to specific applications, including cleaning, etching, stripping, and surface modification processes. One of the primary uses of wet chemicals is wafer cleaning, where they remove contaminants, residues, and particles from semiconductor surfaces to ensure optimal device performance and reliability. Cleaning solutions may include acids, bases, organic solvents, surfactants, and chelating agents, carefully formulated to target specific contaminants while minimizing damage to sensitive materials. Etching is another essential process facilitated by wet chemicals, whereby materials are selectively removed from semiconductor substrates to create intricate patterns and features.
