(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) New Report values photoresists and ancillaries at $6bn in 2025, with China growing fastest to reach $1.9bn by 2032 as sub-10nm manufacturing, 5G and automotive chips raise the bar for JSR, Tokyo Ohka Kogyo, Shin-Etsu and FujifilmDublin, Oct. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Photoresists and Ancillaries - Global Strategic Business Report" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global photoresists and ancillaries market was valued at US$6 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach US$9.2 billion by 2032, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. Market growth is being supported by advanced semiconductor manufacturing, increasing adoption of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, continued device miniaturization, and rising semiconductor demand across consumer electronics, automotive, telecommunications, and industrial applications.
Photoresists and Ancillaries Market Trends and Growth Drivers
The transition toward advanced semiconductor nodes is increasing demand for high-resolution photoresists, developers, adhesion promoters, edge bead removers, and anti-reflective coatings. Semiconductor manufacturers are pursuing sub-10-nanometer production processes to deliver smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient devices, creating new performance requirements for photolithography materials.
EUV lithography remains a major market catalyst because it supports increasingly complex patterning for leading-edge integrated circuits. Investment in EUV-compatible photoresists and related process materials is expanding as manufacturers seek improvements in sensitivity, resolution, pattern fidelity, and etch resistance. Deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography also continues to support high-volume semiconductor production across established process nodes, sustaining demand for KrF, ArF, G-line, and I-line products.
Consumer electronics represent a significant source of demand, driven by smartphones, tablets, wearable devices, connected products, and other high-performance systems. Automotive semiconductor consumption is also rising as electric vehicles, advanced driver-assistance systems, vehicle connectivity, and autonomous driving technologies require more sophisticated chips. Additional growth opportunities are emerging from 5G infrastructure, artificial intelligence, data centers, the Internet of Things, and high-performance computing.
