Market Segmentation

A photoresist is a light-sensitive organic polymer, which alters its chemical structure on the exposure to ultraviolet light. Photoresists are of two kinds, namely, positive and negative. Positive photoresists become soluble on exposure to UV light, while negative photoresists become cross-linked and insoluble on the exposure to UV light. Photoresist ancillaries are associated products that are used along with photoresists. They can be further classified as removers, antireflective coatings, developers, etc.

The photoresist industry is divided on the basis of type into:

• ArF Immersion

Global Photoresist and Photoresist Ancillaries Market Analysis

The global photoresist and photoresist ancillaries market is driven by the growing use of flat-panel displays. Flat-panel displays utilise photoresists to respond to the light to form three different pixels of green, red, blue, and other colours. These products are being increasingly favoured by the consumers due to their lighter, thinner, and energy-efficient properties as compared to other variants.

The industry is further aided by the rising use of photoresists in wiring configuration in the manufacturing of multi-layered semiconductor which plays an essential role in consumer electronics, such as computers, music players, laptops, phones, and other household appliances. Moreover, growing technological advancements in display technology, along with the growing semiconductor industry, are expected to provide impetus to the demand for the productsin the forecast period.
