Growth Witnessed in Semiconductor Industry Accelerate the Use of Photoresists
“Growth witnessed in the global semiconductor industry will prove favorable for several ancillary markets, the photoresists and photoresist ancillaries market being one of them,” said a lead TMR analyst. Holding over 58% share, the segment also registered its dominance in the market in 2013. Currently, semiconductors are used for myriad applications such as to enable data processing and communication in laptops, servers, personal computers, and smartphones. Besides this, semiconductors are used across diverse industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial.

A majority of these industries are spurred by the rising disposable income of consumers. While this accelerates demand from the semiconductor industry, the same creates sales opportunities for enterprises in the photoresists and photoresist ancillaries as well.
TMR has covered various aspects poised to stimulate the photoresists and photoresist ancillaries market. According to the report, proliferating trend of deploying dynamic display technologies will fuel opportunities for the market’s expansion in the forthcoming years. TMR predicts the global flat panel display market to rise at a positive pace, thus in turn bolstering demand for photoresists and photoresist ancillaries.

Possible Health and Environmental Hazards Related to Photoresists and Photoresist Ancillaries Curb their Use across Industries
Photoresists and photoresist ancillaries are solvent-based solutions that comprise stabilizers, electronic-grade solvents, surfactants, polymer resins, photosensitive chemicals, and cross-linking agents. These solvents are known to release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which could have hazardous and carcinogenic effect on human health.
Furthermore, photoresists and photoresist ancillaries are used in photolithography processes, which creates a considerable amount of aqueous waste. Hence use of photoresists is often associated with occupational health hazards, which could inhibit the market’s growth to an extent.

Market Sees Opportunities in Development of NEMS
Nevertheless, the market sees significant opportunities in the upcoming nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). It is difficult to process photolithography at a nanoscale with currently available photoresists in the market. Institutes such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) are looking to developed advanced immersion photoresists to simply the process and reduce the overall cost incurred on the same. Advances in electronics and nanotechnology will thus fuel the development of three dimensional NEMS. This will fuel opportunities for the global photoresists and photoresist ancillaries market.
The report segments the global photoresists and photoresist ancillaries market into:
  • Photoresists Market - Product Segment Analysis

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Virtual pipeline system market - Demand of cleaner energy alternatives, Trends 2025

Powered by the advancing concerns over renewability of energy sources has affected the natural gas industry positively. The transportation of oil and natural gas in a brisk, albeit safe manner has never been such an urgent requirement. With pipelines being the most common approach, they are the primary choice of supply of energy sources. Physical pipelines, being confined to specific geography, are not found to be effective in terms of unfeasible terrains or technically inaccessible areas. As a result, the virtual pipeline industry has been gaining recognition, and is slated to be one of the fastest growing markets in the upcoming years. According to a report published by Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global virtual pipeline industry is anticipated to witness a steady growth during the forecast period of 2017-2025. The industry opportunity is expected to be supported by the brisk acceleration of the demand of transportation of liquid energy resources. Industrial space...
