(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- The global photoresist stripper market is poised to grow from USD 838.2 million in 2025 to USD 1,453 million by 2035, registering a CAGR of 5.3%. The expansion is fueled by rapid semiconductor innovation, rising PCB production, and massive wafer fabrication investments. While regulatory constraints around hazardous chemical disposal slow some deployment, the adoption of water-based and eco-friendly strippers is driving sustainable growth. The USA remains the largest market, with Japan projected as the fastest-growing country.

As semiconductor devices become smaller and more complex, demand for precise, low-toxicity stripping solutions is rising. Operational efficiency, regulatory alignment, and material reliability are increasingly shaping procurement decisions in IDMs and foundries. Market relevance is amplified as manufacturers pursue cleaner, high-performance chemistries to support advanced lithography.
