The global Positive Photoresist Stripper Market is experiencing significant expansion, with its market size valued at US$ 678 million in 2024. Industry analysis indicates a robust growth trajectory, with projections estimating the market will reach US$ 1.07 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7% from 2025 to 2032. This upward trend is fueled by accelerating semiconductor manufacturing, miniaturization trends in electronics, and increasing semiconductor foundry investments globally.
Positive photoresist strippers play a critical role in semiconductor fabrication processes by removing photoresist material after pattern transfer. These specialty chemicals are essential for achieving high yields in IC manufacturing while preventing wafer surface damage. The market is seeing heightened demand for environmentally friendly formulations and advanced strippers compatible with leading-edge EUV lithography processes.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
Asia-Pacific dominates the global photoresist stripper market, accounting for approximately 70% of global semiconductor wafer fabrication capacity. This concentration stems from major semiconductor manufacturing hubs in Taiwan, South Korea, China and Japan. Countries like Taiwan are particularly significant due to the presence of leading foundries requiring high-performance stripping solutions for cutting-edge process nodes.
North America maintains strong demand from both IDMs and fabless semiconductor companies, with stringent environmental regulations driving innovation in safer chemical formulations. Europe shows steady growth through precision equipment manufacturers and specialty chemical producers. Emerging markets in Southeast Asia are witnessing increased investment in semiconductor packaging and testing facilities, creating new demand for stripping solutions.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The market is primarily driven by the semiconductor industry’s unrelenting march toward smaller process nodes and 3D device architectures. Leading foundries transitioning to 3nm and below process technologies require advanced photoresist strippers with superior selectivity and material compatibility. The growing adoption of EUV lithography creates additional demand for specialized stripping formulations.
Opportunities abound in developing strippers for advanced packaging applications like fan-out wafer-level packaging and 3D IC stacking. There’s also growing potential in memory-intensive applications, particularly with the expansion of 3D NAND flash memory production. The shift toward fluorine-free and reduced-GWP (Global Warming Potential) formulations presents another avenue for differentiation among vendors.
Challenges & Restraints
The market faces significant challenges from increasingly stringent environmental regulations like REACH and various chemical safety directives. Developing effective strippers for next-gen materials such as high-k dielectrics and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photoresists presents technical hurdles. Supply chain disruptions and semiconductor industry cyclicality create demand volatility.
R&D costs for new formulations are escalating as process nodes shrink, while the semiconductor industry’s exacting purity requirements add to production complexity. Trade tensions and export controls on advanced semiconductor technologies introduce additional market uncertainties.
