The global semiconductor grade solvents market size is expected to be USD 410.4 billion in 2022 and is projected to touch USD 606.0 billion by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period.

Specifically for the electronics and semiconductor manufacturing industries, semiconductor grade solvents are produced. These solvents include metals at extremely low concentrations—parts every billion or parts every trillion. To reach the desired purity, several purifications are necessary.

COVID-19 Impact: Closure of Various Sectors and Fall in Market Revenue were Experienced as a Result of the Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering; with the semiconductor grade solvents market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

As a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, the semiconductor grade solvents market suffered a setback. Due to the closure of various sectors during the COVID-19 epidemic, including IDM corporations and foundry companies, among others, the necessity for semiconductor grade solvents fell. Lockdown was imposed as a result of the pandemic, which decreased the production of solvents suitable for semiconductors and disrupted the world supply chain. Because of the pandemic, this market's revenue decreased.

LATEST TRENDS

"New High-Purity Solvents Introduced to be Utilized in the Production of Semiconductor Integrated Circuits"

Showa Denko has announced plans to establish a new purification plant to manufacture the new-grade goods in addition to the portfolio of its ultra-high purity reagents. The new-grade chemicals, which SDK offers under the brand name Solfine, are extremely high purity solvents that were created by improving the purity of already high-quality solvents. In order to be employed in the production of liquid crystal display (LCD) panels and semiconductor integrated circuits, SDK already sells semiconductor grade solvents, mostly as cleaning agents. The manufacturer will sell new-grade, ultra-high purity solvents and chemicals, primarily for use in photoresist solvents during the production of semiconductor integrated circuits.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Increasing Requirement for High Performance Coatings to Aid in Expansion of the Solvents Market"

Demand is increasing globally due to the use of semiconductor grade solvents in the manufacture of high performance coatings. The industry is heavily dependent on the expansion of IDM and foundry firms because solvents are used in paints and coatings applications in many different industries. Even though the COVID-19 scenario has hurt the business in certain regions, there will still be a great need for these extremely high purity reagents in the long run.

"Growing Utilization of Electronic Devices in Emerging Economies is Promoting the Broadening of the Solvents Market"

The use of electronic devices has become a necessity, and this industry has expanded quickly over the past ten years and is predicted to continue in this vein in the years to come. Growing automation and digitization have driven the electronic sector, which will in turn promote the global market for semiconductor grade solvents during the forecast period. Some of the variables predicted to influence the demand for semiconductor grade solvents in emerging economies are raising middle class incomes and population growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"Risks Associated with these Solvents to Human Health can Decrease the Demand for this Product "

Health risks result from the widespread use of solvents used for semiconductors. These health-related problems can reduce the market demand for ultra-high purity reagents by causing toxicity in the nervous and reproductive systems. This may further limit the semiconductor grade solvents market growth throughout the anticipated time frame.
