The global Polishing Liquid Market was valued at US$ 1.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 2.0 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period. This steady expansion reflects increasing demand from semiconductor manufacturing, LED production, and precision optics industries where surface finishing quality directly impacts product performance.
Polishing liquids play a critical role in achieving nanometer-level surface finishes across advanced manufacturing sectors. The transition to 300mm wafer processing and the emergence of 3D NAND flash memory have particularly driven demand for advanced chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) slurries, creating new opportunities for market participants.
