India’s Semiconductor Boom Drives Specialty Chemicals Market Growth: Gujarat Emerge as Key Hub

India’s semiconductor industry is experiencing significant growth, fueled by increasing demand for specialty chemicals critical to manufacturing processes. These chemicals, including hydrogen peroxide, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and many others, are essential for tasks such as cleaning, etching, doping, and depositing materials in the production of semiconductors, integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, LCDs, LEDs, and other electronics. The ultra-pure nature of these chemicals makes them vital for ensuring precision in semiconductor fabrication.

The Indian semiconductor market, valued at USD 38 billion in 2023, is projected to reach USD 100-110 billion by 2030, driven by demand from modern technology sectors like communications, computing, industrial automation, and home appliances. The global semiconductor chemical market, valued at USD 8.58 billion in 2021, is expected to grow to USD 12.45 billion by 2027, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.39% from 2023 to 2028. India’s specialty chemicals market for semiconductors is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 4.17% over the same period, with revenues rising from USD 6.58 million in 2021 to USD 8.31 million by 2027.
