The market size of electronic specialty gases will exceed 30 billion yuan in 2025

Special industrial gases have high standards in terms of purity, variety, performance, etc., and are widely used in integrated circuits, display panels, photovoltaic energy, new energy vehicles, aerospace, medical and other fields. Electronic specialty gases are a branch of special industrial gases and are indispensable key raw materials for the electronics industry. Their quality has an important impact on the performance of electronic components. They are widely used in thin films, photolithography, etching, doping, vapor deposition, Diffusion and other processes.

There are many types of electronic specialty gases. The main gases include nitrogen trifluoride, tungsten hexafluoride, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, tetrafluoride, deuterium, hexafluorobutadiene, octafluorocyclobutane, octafluoropropane, and hexafluoroethane. As well as some mixed gases, etc., purity is one of the important indicators of electronic special gases. Purity directly affects the yield and reliability of electronic products. Usually there are several categories of purity: 99.99% (4N), 99.999% (5N), 99.9995% (5N5), etc. The purity of some gases needs to be 6N and above.

In recent years, the electronic specialty gas industry has received strong support from national policies, mainly including the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for the Development of National Strategic Emerging Industries”, the “Guidelines for the Development of New Materials Industry”, and the “Promoting High Quality of the Integrated Circuit Industry and Software Industry in the New Era” Policies such as “Several Policies for the Development of Key New Materials” and the “Guidance Catalog for the First Batch Application Demonstration of Key New Materials (2021 Edition)”. With strong policy support and driven by the rapid development of downstream semiconductor and other industries, my country’s electronic specialty gas market has developed rapidly. The released“Research Report on Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects of China’s Electronic Specialty Gas Industry from 2022 to 2026” shows that in 2021 China The electronic specialty gas market is close to 20 billion yuan and is expected to exceed 30 billion yuan in 2025.

Due to the high technical barriers to electronic specialty gases, the current market concentration in this industry is relatively high. In the global market, the top ten electronic gas companies account for 90% of the global market, of which four major manufacturers, Linde, Air Liquide, Taiyo Nippon Sanso and Air Chemicals, account for more than 70% of the market share. Specific to the field of electronic specialty gases, the world’s major production companies are SK Materials, Kanto Denka Showa Denko, Parite Gas, etc. These companies have a gap with international giants in terms of overall scale, but they have strong competitiveness in segmented fields. .

Investment analysts pointed out that with the rapid development of my country’s integrated circuit industry, the scale effect of the display panel industry has become increasingly prominent, and electronic specialty gases Market demand has developed rapidly, attracting more and more enterprises. Domestic electronic gas enterprises have increased research and development, constantly breaking through foreign technical barriers, and localized production quality levels have continued to improve. At this stage, my country’s electronic special gas industry is the largest enterprise in the industry. The main ones include Nanda Optoelectronics, Haohua Technology, Walter Gas, Jinhong Gas, Yake Technology, Parite Gas, etc.
