The global EUV Lithography Pellicle Market is positioned for significant expansion, with its valuation reaching USD 72 million in 2024 and projected to grow at an impressive CAGR of 9.3% to reach USD 163 million by 2031. This market evolution is driven by the semiconductor industry’s rapid adoption of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography for advanced chip manufacturing below 7nm nodes, where pellicles play a critical role in photomask protection while maintaining optimal light transmittance.
EUV lithography pellicles serve as the semiconductor industry’s first line of defense, protecting expensive photomasks from particulate contamination during the chip fabrication process. With the industry shift toward multi-layer CNT (carbon nanotube) pellicles and other advanced materials, manufacturers are addressing key challenges related to thermal stability and EUV transmittance (EUVT), which has improved from 82% to 90% through recent technological advancements.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
Asia-Pacific dominates the EUV pellicle landscape, accounting for over 75% of global semiconductor production capacity. Taiwan, South Korea, and China lead adoption due to concentrated EUV lithography deployments at TSMC, Samsung, and SMIC. The region benefits from close collaboration between foundries and pellicle developers, accelerating technology transitions from polysilicon to multi-layer MoSi?/Si structures.
North America maintains strong R&D capabilities with Intel and GlobalFoundries investing in next-generation pellicle solutions, while Europe’s ASML continues to pioneer technological innovation through strategic partnerships. Emerging semiconductor hubs in Southeast Asia are creating secondary demand centers as chipmakers expand EUV capacity beyond traditional strongholds.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The market’s upward trajectory stems from multiple converging factors: the AI boom demanding advanced chips, the transition to 3nm and below process nodes, and increasing EUV tool installations. High-power EUV systems operating above 500W create unprecedented thermal challenges that next-generation pellicles must address. The shift toward carbon nanotube-based solutions presents a USD 45 million revenue opportunity by 2028, with material science breakthroughs potentially pushing EUVT beyond 92%.
Pellicle lifecycle management is emerging as a critical service opportunity, given their consumable nature and replacement cycles. The foundry segment offers particularly strong growth potential as contract manufacturers accelerate EUV adoption to meet diverse client needs across logic, memory, and specialty semiconductor applications.
Challenges & Restraints
The industry faces significant headwinds including ultra-thin film mechanical fragility, particulate contamination risks during installation, and thermal deformation at high EUV power levels. Supply chain constraints for specialty materials like molybdenum disilicate and the technical complexity of defect-free CNT membrane production continue to challenge yield improvements.
Standardization uncertainties around next-generation pellicle specifications create adoption hesitancy among some chipmakers. Furthermore, the concentrated nature of EUV tool ownership creates pricing pressure as single-source relationships dominate the ecosystem.
