According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Chemicals for PCB Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold market size was valued at US$ 459 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 610 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.2% during review period.
Chemicals for PCB Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG) refer to a complete set of chemical solutions and process chemicals used to deposit a layer of nickel (Ni) followed by a layer of gold (Au) onto the bare copper surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs) through chemical reactions. These chemicals provide excellent solderability, conductivity, corrosion resistance, and long-term stability, and include electroless nickel plating solution and electroless gold plating solution.The upstream core lies in precious metal raw materials (such as gold salts and nickel salts) and high-purity chemical additives (such as complexing agents, reducing agents, and stabilizers).The global sales volume is projected to be approximately 50,200 tons in 2025, with an average market price of approximately US$8,900 per ton. The industry's gross profit margin is approximately 30-50%.
Electroless nickel-gold plating technology refers to the process of depositing a nickel layer on the bare copper surface of a PCB using palladium as a catalyst, through a chemical oxidation-reduction reaction. The nickel layer is then coated with an extremely thin layer of gold through a combination of displacement and reduction reactions in a chemical gold plating solution. The quality of the electroless nickel-gold plating directly affects the reliability of terminal soldering and the electrical performance of the PCB.
As a key surface treatment process for achieving high-density connections and excellent conductivity, electroless nickel-gold plating holds an irreplaceable strategic position in high-end circuit board manufacturing. With the downstream PCB industry transitioning towards high-density interconnect (HDI), ultra-thin designs, and lead-free processes, there are higher demands on the uniformity of the gold surface and the ability to prevent black pad defects in electroless nickel-gold plating solutions. This is driving continuous iterative upgrades in the industry chain towards higher reliability and environmental friendliness.
