Dry film is a prefabricated photosensitive polymer film, typically composed of a polyester substrate coated with a layer of photoresist. It is widely used in the image transfer process in electronics manufacturing. Its core function is to undergo a chemical reaction under ultraviolet light to form an image layer. Subsequently, through development and etching, precise processing of the circuit pattern is achieved. Compared to liquid photoresist, dry film offers advantages such as uniform thickness, ease of handling, reduced contamination, and high image resolution. It plays a key role in the manufacture of printed circuit boards (PCBs), semiconductor packaging, IC substrates, and microelectronic devices, and is particularly suitable for the production of high-precision, high-density circuits.
The global key players of dry film include Resonac (Hitach Chemical), Asahi Kasei, Eternal, KOLON Industries and DuPont, etc. Global top five players hold a share about 85%. The global dry film is mainly produced in Japan, China Taiwan, South Korea, US, Europe, and China. China is the largest producer, with a share over 40%, followed by China Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan.
The dry film market is at a critical stage of technological upgrading and industrial chain deepening. The upstream sector comprises suppliers of raw materials such as polyester film and photosensitive resin, as well as manufacturers of precision coating and exposure equipment, supporting product performance and process efficiency. Downstream, demand continues to grow across high-tech industries such as PCB manufacturing, semiconductor packaging, automotive electronics, and medical electronics. Future development trends are focused on miniaturization and high-density processing, driving the evolution of dry films towards thinner and higher resolutions. Environmentally friendly materials such as low-VOC and biodegradable dry films are gradually emerging. Automated processes will achieve deep integration with intelligent exposure and development systems. Meanwhile, Asian markets, particularly China, Japan, and South Korea, will continue to dominate global production capacity and technological innovation.
