Global Photoresist and Photoresist Ancillaries Market Outlook (2025–2035)

Market Overview

The global photoresist and photoresist ancillaries market was valued at approximately USD 2.3 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of more than 4.8 percent during 2025–2035.

Photoresists are light-sensitive polymeric resins used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards, LCDs, MEMS devices, magnetic recording heads, and other electronics. They serve as masking materials for transferring images through etching processes onto substrates. Ancillary materials such as strippers, anti-reflective coatings, developers, and edge bead removers complement photoresists in semiconductor fabrication.

Applications span multi-layered semiconductors used in computers, smartphones, servers, household appliances, and industrial instruments. Market growth is driven by semiconductor industry recovery post-2024, adoption of nanotechnology, IoT expansion, and nm-scale chip development.
