Semiconductor grade isopropyl alcohol industry is expanding rapidly and local companies are under great competition pressure

Semiconductor-grade isopropyl alcohol, also known as electronic-grade isopropyl alcohol and ultra-pure isopropyl alcohol, is an indispensable wet electronic chemical for the electronics industry including the semiconductor industry. It has high purity, high quality requirements, and stringent environmental cleanliness requirements. and product features such as high added value. In the solar photovoltaic industry, semiconductor-grade isopropyl alcohol is used for surface cleaning of single crystal solar cells; in semiconductor manufacturing, semiconductor-grade isopropyl alcohol is one of the key auxiliary materials and is mainly used in processes such as wafer surface cleaning; in In the LCD panel industry, semiconductor-grade isopropyl alcohol is used for cleaning glass substrates, etc.

Since 2010, my country’s emerging industries such as display panels, semiconductors, and solar cells have developed rapidly. The production, testing, packaging, and technical services of wet electronic chemicals have basically reached the level of meeting the needs of industries such as display panels and solar energy. Both demand and supply levels have been greatly improved, and the industry is developing well. Under this situation, a few domestic companies have mastered the G4-level production technology of some categories and are making breakthroughs in higher-end product production technology. Wet electronic chemical products are also widely used in the semiconductor field. At the same time, semiconductor-grade isopropyl alcohol The industry has also entered a stage of rapid development.

According to the “China Semiconductor Grade Isopropyl Alcohol Market Feasibility Research Report 2022-2026” released by the Industrial Research Center, currently, The number of domestic semiconductor-grade isopropyl alcohol production companies has increased in recent years. Key companies include Kunshan Fule Chemical Co., Ltd., Jiangyin Jianghua Microelectronic Materials Co., Ltd., Suzhou Jingrui Chemical Co., Ltd., and Jiangyin Runma Electronic Materials. Co., Ltd., etc., and many other companies have entered this industry one after another. With the progress of China’s semiconductor industry and breakthroughs in technologies related to the wet electronic chemicals industry, the demand for semiconductor-grade isopropyl alcohol has grown rapidly, and the demand structure has become more refined.

Industrial researchers believe that after years of development, China’s semiconductor-grade isopropyl alcohol industry has gradually achieved technological breakthroughs, with domestic production capacity and output It is also constantly improving. However, foreign-funded enterprises have been operating in China for many years and have formed relatively stable cooperative relationships with most large downstream customers. If they want to compete for customers from them, it will be more difficult for local companies whose technical level has not yet surpassed them. Local companies in China’s semiconductor-grade isopropyl alcohol industry have limited technical levels and face market suppression from foreign-funded companies. Local companies face greater market competition pressure.
