LIQUID PHOTORESIST MARKET OVERVIEW

The global liquid photoresist market size is expected to be USD 2.87 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 4.49 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

A material that is light-sensitive called photoresist is utilized in photolithography and photoengraving processes. It protects electronic equipment from harmful UV radiation. It is used in the production of printed circuit boards, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), flat-panel liquid crystal displays, magnetic recording heads, and printing plates (PCBs). Contrarily, photoresist ancillaries are products that help the photolithography or photoengraving process be more effective and precise. Growing application in advanced semiconductors, ICs, PCBs, LCD displays, and other technology will augment the liquid photoresist market share in the forthcoming years.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Disrupted Supply Chains to Threaten the Market Trends

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic had a detrimental effect on the photoresist market as well as the manufacturing of electrical and electronic products. The second wave of COVID-19 also caused losses in the photoresist sector in the first few months of 2021, although the market was not as adversely hit as it was in 2020. However, it is anticipated that the impact of COVID-19 would diminish by mid-2022, restoring the market's situation to pre-COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, it will lead to an increase in photoresist-related production, strengthening the liquid photoresist market outlook during the forecast period.

LATEST TRENDS

Frequent Use of in Different Sectors to Push the Market Growth

The International Trade Association estimates that the U.S. semiconductor sector produced USD 166 billion in global sales. The U.S. has several of the top export industries, including the semiconductor and circuit manufacturing industry. Over 250,000 Americans have indirect employment in the semiconductor business, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA). Thus, the market for photoresists is projected to be driven by the semiconductor industry's fast expansion and the ongoing desire for increased component density in electronic devices. Growing semiconductor industry across North America and Asia Pacific will positively influence the liquid photoresist market outlook in the future
