Major Drivers and Restraints of This Industry
This market report offers very in-depth examination of key market drivers of electronic chemical market. In addition, the report also provides crucial factors which may have impact on growth of the electronic chemical industry.
Consequences of COVID 19 on Electronic Chemical Industry
The electronic chemical producing firms have halted their manufacturing processes mainly owing to the industrial shutdown imposed by government authorities along with huge disruptions in the supply of raw materials. For instance, as per data published by the Independent Chemical Information Services (ICIS), world's one of the largest petrochemical market information provider, there was approximately 15-20% drop in the electronic chemicals production mainly because significant disruption in logistic and supply chain. The stoppage of electronic chemical firms throughout the COVID-19 chaos has resulted in drastic revenue loss in the global electronic chemical market. On the other hand, with speedy recovery of majority of countries, most of the industries have resumed their projects; which may help support the global electronic chemical market, post COVID 19 pandemics.
Global Electronic Chemical market is likely to be Dominated by the Asia Pacific
Asia Pacific dominated the global electronic chemical market with over 60% share in 2020. Strong demand for electronic chemicals in the region can be attributed to the high level of concentration of electronic manufacturing industry in the region. China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Southeast Asia have become production hub for electronic industry. This in turn driving the demand for electronic chemicals.
Global Electronic Chemical Market is led by the Silicon wafers segment
Depending on the type, global electronic chemical industry is mainly classified into conductive polymers, CMP slurries, specialty gases, low K dielectrics, wet chemicals, silicon wafers, and PCB laminates photoresist chemicals. Silicon wafer segment of electronic chemical industry will have fastest market growth, and is further estimated to register a notable revenue. The silicon wafers are a basic building blocks of any electronic devices, like smartphones and computers. Thereby, rising penetration of smartphones across the emerging countries may propel the subsegment, during the analysis timeframe.
Semiconductors applications to dominate the global demand for electronic chemical market
Semiconductors and others are the two major application areas for the global electronic chemical market. Moreover, semiconductors segment is further classified into integrated circuits and printed circuit board. Semiconductors segment accounted for the vast majority in the revenue generation of electronic chemical in 2020. It accounted for over 45% share in 2020. Growing demand for memory chips and circuit boards, major technological innovations, and massive adoption IoT technology are some of the factors may propel the subsegment growth, in the coming years.
