Frequently Asked Questions
Key players include Tokyo Ohka Kogyo, JSR, Shin-Etsu Chemical, FUJIFILM, Sumitomo Chemical, DuPont, Merck KGaA, Dongjin Semichem, LG Chem, Kolon Industries, Asahi Kasei, Eternal Materials, Brewer Science, Inpria and Allresist.
Key opportunities include metal oxide EUV resists, PFAS-free formulations, resists for advanced packaging and local production close to leading foundries.
The major growth factor is leading-edge fab expansion, because each new node adds lithography layers, with EUV and ArF immersion exposures raising resist consumption per wafer.
By Resist Type, the ArF Immersion segment dominated the market with approximately 35.00% share in 2025, owing to its use in the most critical layers of advanced logic and memory chips.
Asia Pacific dominated the market with a share of 59.00% in 2025, supported by foundry, memory and packaging capacity in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and China and by leading Japanese suppliers.
