Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid rise in U.S. tariffs and the subsequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are having a major impact on the electrical and electronics sector, with semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals (essential for batteries and motors) subject to steep duties. Consumer electronics brands face profit erosion, as competitive markets limit their ability to pass costs to buyers. Industrial electronics manufacturers, meanwhile, grapple with delayed projects due to shortages of tariff-impacted components like printed circuit boards. Companies are responding by relocating assembly to tariff-exempt countries, increasing inventory buffers, and redesigning products to reduce dependency on restricted materials.

Semiconductor deposition material is used to create thin films and layers on semiconductor wafers during the manufacturing of electronic components. This material enables the formation of conductive, insulating, or semiconducting layers essential for device functionality. It ensures precise layer formation, uniformity, and performance in integrated circuits, transistors, and other microelectronic devices.

The main types of semiconductor deposition material are physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, and electrochemical deposition. Physical vapor deposition is a vacuum-based process that deposits thin films or coatings on a surface by vaporizing a solid material and condensing it on a substrate. Material compositions include metals, oxides, nitrides, polymer-based materials, silicon-based materials, and compound semiconductors, selected for specific electrical, optical, or mechanical requirements. Deposition techniques include chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, and others. Applications cover integrated circuits, memory devices, power devices, optoelectronic devices, light-emitting diodes, laser diodes, and semiconductor packaging. End-use industries include consumer electronics, telecommunications, aerospace and defense, automotive, healthcare, and industrial automation.
