세계의 네거티브 포토레지스트 화학제품 시장 : 분석 - 유형별, 화학제품별, 용도별, 지역별, 예측(-2030년)

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Negative Photoresist Chemicals Market is accounted for $2327.24 million in 2024 and is expected to reach $3414.95 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.60% during the forecast period. Chemicals known as negative photoresist are essential to photolithography procedures, especially in microfabrication and semiconductor manufacturing processes. Negative photoresists are suited for producing features with high aspect ratios because, in contrast to their positive counterparts, they become more resistant to chemical etching when exposed to light. These substances usually include crosslinking agents, photoactive substances, and polymers.

According to the American Medical Association, regular physical activity is essential for maintaining good health and reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing need in the semiconductor sector

The semiconductor industry is driving the demand for negative photoresist chemicals by relentlessly pursuing smaller, more powerful electronic devices. Advanced lithography processes become essential as manufacturers work to meet the demands of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and 5G while also adhering to Moore's Law. Additionally, the growth of semiconductor fabrication facilities, especially in Asia-Pacific, emphasizes how important negative photoresist chemicals are to enabling high-resolution patterning, which is necessary for advanced integrated circuits.

Restraint:

Growing intricacy of lithography procedures

The market for negative photoresist chemicals faces a major challenge due to the increasing complexity of lithography processes. There is an increasing need for highly specialized negative photoresist formulations that are suited to particular applications as semiconductor technology develops. Because of this complexity, it is more difficult for new players to enter the market, which requires ongoing innovation and R&D spending in order to remain competitive. Manufacturers need to stay up-to-date with the latest lithography techniques, which include EUV lithography and multi-patterning.

Opportunity:

Development of facilities for manufacturing semiconductors

The growth of semiconductor manufacturing plants, especially in North America and Asia-Pacific, opens doors for suppliers of chemicals used in negative photoresist. The need for advanced lithography solutions is driven by rising investments in foundries and fabs to meet the rising demand for semiconductors in industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics applications. Moreover, the need for high-performance negative photoresist chemicals will increase in tandem with semiconductor manufacturers' adoption of advanced process nodes and increased production capacity.

Threat:

Strong rivalry and pricing pressure

There is fierce competition among suppliers in the market for negative photoresist chemicals, which drives down prices and erodes margins. Many players, including niche manufacturers and multinational corporations, compete for market share as the industry develops by providing cutting-edge product solutions and competitive pricing. Prices are under pressure to decline in this highly competitive market, which reduces suppliers' profit margins. Additionally, the commoditization of common photoresist formulations also intensifies price competition, making it difficult for businesses to set themselves apart from the competition purely on the basis of price.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major effect on the market for negative photoresist chemicals, leading to delays in international supply chains, reductions in production, and variations in demand. There was a decrease in semiconductor manufacturing and related industries during the early stages of the pandemic due to widespread lockdowns and restrictions on economic activities, which decreased the demand for negative photoresist chemicals. A number of supply chain disruptions, such as factory closures, problems with logistics, and shortages of raw materials, made matters worse and delayed delivery and production timelines.

The Photopolymeric Type segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The photopolymeric type usually holds the largest market share in the negative photoresist chemical market. In order to change from a soluble to an insoluble state, photopolymeric negative photoresists rely on a chemical reaction that is triggered by exposure to light, usually ultraviolet (UV) light. Because photolithography techniques are widely used in semiconductor manufacturing, this market segment is dominated by photopolymeric negative photoresists, which offer high resolution, excellent pattern fidelity, and ease of processing. Moreover, these photoresists are widely used in the electronics, automotive, and healthcare industries for the fabrication of integrated circuits (ICs), microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and other microfabricated devices.

The Thinner segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

In the negative photoresist chemicals market, the thinner segment usually has the highest CAGR. In negative photoresist processing, thinner chemicals play a critical role in modifying viscosity, improving coating homogeneity, and optimizing film thickness on substrates during application. The need for specialized thinner formulations catered to particular negative photoresist chemistries and application requirements is growing as semiconductor manufacturers and microfabrication facilities aim for increased efficiency, higher yields, and improved process control. Additionally, the thinner segment is anticipated to grow rapidly due to continuous improvements in lithography techniques, including immersion and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, as well as the growing complexity of semiconductor device architectures.

Region with largest share:

The market for negative photoresist chemicals is normally dominated by the Asia-Pacific region. The region's strong presence in semiconductor manufacturing is responsible for its dominance; this is especially true in nations like China, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, which are home to some of the top semiconductor fabrication facilities in the world. The area has a strong ecosystem that includes packaging and testing facilities, semiconductor foundries, and integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), which creates a significant demand for negative photoresist chemicals used in lithography processes.

Region with highest CAGR:

The North American region has the highest CAGR in the market for negative photoresist chemicals. Particularly in the United States, the region benefits from a strong presence of semiconductor manufacturers, research centers, and technological innovators. The semiconductor industry in North America is distinguished by ongoing developments in microfabrication technologies, particularly lithography procedures where chemicals known as negative photoresist play a critical role. Moreover, the region's strong growth in the market for negative photoresist chemicals is partly due to rising investments in research and development, especially in cutting-edge areas like nanotechnology, photonics, and quantum computing.

Key Developments:

In January 2024, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, a leading science and technology company, today announced a licensing agreement with Inspirna, Inc. (New York, NY) for ompenaclid (RGX-202), a first-in-class oral inhibitor of the creatine transport channel SLC6A8, and SLC6A8-targeting follow-on compounds. Ompenaclid is currently being evaluated in a Phase II study for the second-line treatment of RAS-mutated (RASmut) advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

In August 2023, DuPont announced a definitive agreement to sell an 80.1% ownership interest in the Delrin(R) acetal homopolymer (H-POM) business1 to TJC LP (TJC) in a transaction valuing the business at $1.8 billion. TJC has received fully committed financing in connection with the transaction, which is expected to close around year-end 2023, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approval.

In May 2023, Dow and New Energy Blue announced a long-term supply agreement in North America in which New Energy Blue will create bio-based ethylene from renewable agricultural residues.
