Wet Chemicals for Electronics & Semiconductor Application Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product (Acetic Acid, Hydrogen Peroxide, Hydrochloric Acid, Ammonium Hydroxide, Nitric Acid, Sulfuric Acid, Phosphoric Acid, Others), By Application (Cleaning, Etching, Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Wet chemicals are the chemicals in liquid state that are used in industries, laboratories, and research. These are commercial chemicals like sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide, ammonium hydroxide and many other. These chemicals are used in processes like etching and cleaning. The manufacturing process of chips need a clean environment which can be maintained using hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, fabrication and wet stripping of semiconductors involve the use of sulfuric acid.

The increasing use of the Integrated circuits, chips, microchips in electronics and other electrical appliances is surging the demand for semiconductors that are used in the electronic components further driving the wet chemicals market. Additionally, the use of acids, hydroxides and peroxides for cleaning and etching of substrate surfaces are boosting the demand. Hydrogen peroxide is the most demanded wet chemical for the semiconductor industry for it as long-term applications like etching and cleaning the IC.

However, the semiconductor manufacturing involves generation of wastewater containing the semiconductor residue, toxic and non-toxic chemicals which can be harmful for the environment. The improper waste management of the semiconductor industry is likely to hinder the market growth of the market.
