Research and Markets: Photoresists and Photoresist Ancillaries Market for Semiconductors & Integrated Circuits, Printed Circuit Boards and Other Applications - 2014 Global Industry Analysis

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6ztz3k/photoresists_and) has announced the addition of the "Photoresists and Photoresist Ancillaries Market for Semiconductors & Integrated Circuits, Printed Circuit Boards and Other Applications - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020" report to their offering.

Growth in the global semiconductor industry is anticipated to drive the photoresists and photoresist ancillaries market worldwide. Photoresists are indispensable components in the process of multi-layer wiring configuration in semiconductor manufacturing and high density packaging. Trends in dynamic display technologies are further estimated to boost the photoresists and photoresist ancillaries market in the near future.

However, environmental and occupational health hazards associated with photoresists and photoresist ancillaries are expected to hamper the global market growth in the near future. Upcoming nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) are projected to offer high opportunities for arket players in the next few years.

In terms of revenue, semiconductor & integrated circuits (ICs) emerged as the largest application segment of the global photoresists and photoresist ancillaries market in 2013. The segment accounted for over 55% share in 2013. Semiconductor & ICs segment is anticipated to remain the largest application in the near future.

Major end-use industries for semiconductor & ICs application segment include data processing (laptops, servers and personal computers), communication (smartphones, mobile phones, broadband internet and fixed-line telephones), automotive, consumer electronics (music players, household appliances and gaming consoles) and industrial electronics.

Printed circuit boards was the second-largest segment for photoresists and photoresist ancillaries in 2013. Demand for photoresists and photoresist ancillaries from other applications that include MEMS, NEMS and sensors is projected to rise at a moderate pace in the next few years.
