Market demand continues to be released, and the photosensitive dry film market has broad development space

Photosensitive dry film, also known as dry film photoresist, is a special material for printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing. Photosensitive dry film usually consists of three parts: polyethylene film (PE), photoresist film, and polyester film (PET). The main component of photoresist film is photosensitive material, which is the core material of photosensitive dry film. In recent years, with the development of the PCB circuit board industry, the market demand for photosensitive dry films has been continuously released, and the scale of the industry has continued to expand.

PCB circuit boards are widely used in aerospace, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, medical equipment, industrial control and other fields. In recent years, thanks to the development of downstream markets, the PCB circuit board market has grown rapidly, and the market demand for photosensitive dry films has increased accordingly. In 2020, the PCB market size will reach more than US$35 billion, accounting for approximately 56.0% of the global market. my country is the world’s largest PCB circuit board producer, and the photosensitive dry film market has broad development space.

According to the “2022-2026 Photosensitive Dry Film Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report released by the Industrial Research Center, From 2016 to 2020, global photosensitive dry film shipments increased year by year, with an average annual compound growth rate of more than 4.4%. By 2020, photosensitive dry film shipments have reached 1.13 billion square meters. The photosensitive dry film market has broad development space. It is expected that global photosensitive dry film shipments will reach 1.60 billion square meters in 2026.

Photosensitive dry film accounts for about 3.2% of PCB circuit board manufacturing costs, but photosensitive dry film can improve PCB resolution and plays a decisive role in PCB quality. In recent years, with the high-quality development of PCB circuit boards, the market’s requirements for the resolution, adhesion, electroplating resistance, etching resistance, etc. of photosensitive dry films have continued to increase. Against this background, the application proportion of high-precision photosensitive dry films has increased. promote.

In the global market, photosensitive dry film manufacturers mainly include Japan’s Asahi Kasei, Japan’s Hitachi Chemical, Taiwan’s Changxing Chemical, the United States’ DuPont, Taiwan’s Changchun Chemical, South Korea’s KOLON, etc. The leading companies dominate the world by virtue of their technology, quality, scale, first-mover and other advantages. Major share of the photosensitive dry film market. Due to technical limitations, domestically produced photosensitive dry films are mostly concentrated in the mid- to low-end fields, with insufficient supply of high-end products and market demand dependent on imports. However, in recent years, with the rise of domestic companies such as Hangzhou Foster, the competitive advantage of my country’s photosensitive dry film market has been enhanced. , the pace of domestic substitution of high-end photosensitive dry films is accelerating.

Industry analysts said that photosensitive dry film is one of the key raw materials for printed circuit boards. In recent years, with the development of my country’s printing With the development of the circuit board industry, the market demand for photosensitive dry films continues to be released. Foreign companies occupy a major share of the global and Chinese photosensitive dry film markets by virtue of their advantages in technology, quality, and scale. Domestic companies have insufficient competitive advantages. In the future, Chinese companies will still need to increase investment in technology research and development, improve product quality, and compete for high-end photosensitive dry film market share. .
