Regional Analysis of the Color Resists Market

Which Region Dominates the Color Resists Market in 2024?

According to Cognitive Market Research, North America currently dominates the Color Resists market, and the region is expected to have significant growth during the projected period. The rollout of 5G networks across North America is a significant factor driving growth in the color resists market. By 2025, 5G is expected to account for 45% of the total connection base in Canada, with coverage projected to reach over 80% of the Canadian population. Between 2020 and 2040, 5G networks are anticipated to add approximately $150 billion in value to the Canadian economy, contributing an additional $7 billion annually to Canada’s GDP. The expansion of 5G infrastructure requires the production of advanced semiconductors and communication devices, which depend on precise photolithography techniques and the use of color resists. As a result, the demand for high-quality color resists in the region is expected to grow significantly.

Which Region is Expanding at the Fastest CAGR?

Asia-Pacific is expected to make significant gains during the projected period, with the greatest compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Asia Pacific is home to some of the largest semiconductor manufacturing hubs globally, including countries such as China, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. In 2017, India’s semiconductor exports were valued at US$ 0.21 billion, while imports were significantly higher at US$ 4.65 billion. By 2019, exports had increased to US$ 0.33 billion, while imports declined to US$ 3.15 billion. However, the global economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 led to a downturn in both exports and imports. The subsequent recovery in 2021 was remarkable, with imports reaching US$ 5.36 billion. In 2022, India made strides toward establishing itself as a semiconductor hub, with exports hitting a record US$ 0.52 billion. Furthermore, in the interim Union Budget for 2024, the Indian government increased its allocation for the Semicon India Program to Rs. 6,903 crore (US$ 833.7 million). The region continues to account for a significant share of global semiconductor production, which in turn drives the demand for color resists essential for photolithography in semiconductor fabrication.
