Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Semiconductor Photoresist market size was valued at US$ 3436 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 5255 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 6.4% during review period.
Photoresist (PR) is a chemical essential for semiconductor manufacturing. The photoresists known as a photosensitive material, initiate a chemical reaction in the light. It is a chemical that plays an essential role in photolithography, a technology that is involved in the manufacture of semiconductor devices. In the semiconductor manufacturing, the exposure process that a photoengraving technique is applied to reduce and transfer the design drawn on the original plate (photomask) onto the silicon chip. To create power-saving, high-performance semiconductors, the circuits that are to be transferred need to be rendered smaller.
Structurally, the mix in 2025 is still DUV-dominated: ArFi (~26.1%) + KrF (~25.5%) + g/i-Line (~24.6%) ≈ 76% of total value, reflecting the reality that even in leading-edge flows, EUV is used for the most intricate layers while many remaining layers continue to be patterned with DUV, and both platforms run in parallel for years. Within DUV, ArFi’s weight is also consistent with technology boundaries: for many “mainstream-to-advanced mature” nodes, immersion ArF remains a foundational lithography capability. Meanwhile, EUV photoresists are the clear growth engine (rising from ~$80M to ~$374M from 2020 to 2025; fastest growth rate among your segments), but still only ~11.2% of the 2025 total—i.e., EUV is driving the growth, while DUV still carries the volume and breadth of layers.
Looking forward over the next few years, the direction is: EUV grows fastest; ArFi stays resilient; KrF and g/i-Line remain stable-to-slight growth; ArF Dry grows modestly; E-beam grows steadily but niche—each for different “real-fab” reasons. EUV resists should keep outgrowing the market because EUV layer counts and EUV exposure intensity rise with continued scaling, and the ecosystem is now also entering the High-NA EUV era (tool milestones such as acceptance testing and High-NA platform ramp are now public), which tightens resist requirements and pulls more innovation spend into EUV materials (stochastics/roughness/sensitivity tradeoffs, outgassing control, etc.). ArFi resists are likely to remain the “workhorse premium DUV” category: even where EUV expands, ArFi continues to print many non-EUV layers and supports huge installed bases at 28/22/16/14nm-class and below, and a lot of capacity being added globally is still in ranges that rely on ArFi capability. ArF Dry typically tracks a broad swath of mature logic and specialty IC production, so expect low-to-mid single-digit growth driven more by wafer-start expansion and mix (specialty, analog, PMIC, CIS, etc.) than by “node shrinks.” KrF should stay solid because it sits in the cost/performance sweet spot for many mature nodes and selected tighter-pattern layers where ArF isn’t required; its main driver is mature-node capacity + automotive/industrial stability, with cyclicality tied to overall wafer starts. g/i-Line is “sticky” for thick resist and back-end / packaging-centric lithography, so advanced packaging scaling (more RDL layers, bumping/plating processes, wafer-/panel-level packaging) tends to underpin demand even when leading-edge front-end is soft; suppliers explicitly position g/i-line portfolios around thick-film variants and packaging-related patterning use-cases (including RDL). E-beam resists should grow steadily (but remain small) because advanced mask making—especially EUV masks—depends heavily on e-beam lithography resist performance, and mask complexity rises as design rules tighten. Macro-wise, a supportive tailwind for all categories is the expectation that wafer-fab investment and capacity expansion are lifted by AI-driven logic and memory demand into 2026–2027, which typically flows through into lithography materials consumption with a lag.
