United States Photomask Market to Reach Around USD475 Million by 2019, Says TechSci Research

United States Photomask Market to Reach Around USD475 Million by 2019, Says TechSci Research

BURNABY, Canada, September 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --



Growth in Semiconductor, Display and Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Markets
to Drive Overall Demand for Photomasks in the Country



Photomasks are key tools used in the manufacture of semiconductors, Flat Panel
Displays (FPD), optical devices and other products. The photomask market is largely
dependent on growth in the overall semiconductor industry. During the last three years,
the United States photomask market witnessed negative growth in terms of unit shipment,
due to decline in the country's semiconductor industry. The industry exhibited a negative
growth of 3.6% during 2011-12, predominantly due to steep decline in the desktop PC and
components markets. However, with anticipated recovery in the desktop PC market over the
next five years, the US semiconductor industry is forecast to register moderate growth,
thus positively influencing the photomask market.

According to the recently published TechSci Research report, "United States Photomask
Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2019 [http://www.techsciresearch.com/3050 ]", the
photomask market in the United States is forecast to reach USD474.58 billion by 2019.The
Western region dominates the photomask market in the US, in terms of revenue share, due to
the presence of a large number of semiconductor and FPD manufacturing facilities in the
region. Besides widespread usage in the semiconductor industry, the FPD application
segment accounted for the largest revenue share in the US photomask market in 2013, where
Hoya Corporation emerged as leading player in the country, in terms of photomask shipments
for FPD application. While photomasks are widely used in the manufacture of TFT-LCD
display panels, growth in LED and Laser panel display markets is expected to benefit the
overall demand for photomasks in the FPD industry in the US, over the next five years.



"Photomasks with soda lime and quartz base glass material are two widely available
types, where the former variety accounts for majority revenue share, in both value and
volume terms. Soda lime base glass material photomasks are easily affected by temperature
disparity, resulting in higher overlay error when loading multiple layers. However, soda
lime base glass material photomask segment is expected to witness steady growth over the
next five years due to relatively low pricing of this material. On the contrary, quartz
base glass material photomasks are popular due to low impurity levels, which offer high
optical and thermal characteristics. As a result, quartz base glass material photomask
segment is expected to gain traction in the United States photomask market, despite being
costlier than soda lime base glass material photomasks.", said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research
Director with TechSci Research [http://www.techsciresearch.com ], a research based global
management consulting firm.
