EUV Mask Blanks Market Growth Driver and Challenges

Growth Driver

The increase in IC manufacturing and consumption:

An integrated chip (IC), commonly known as a semiconductor chip or microchip is a small electronic circuit composed of semiconductor material that is usually used in mobile phones, electric vehicles and personal computers (PCs). EUV mask blanks play an important role in the manufacturing of ICs, specifically in advanced semiconductor production. As the semiconductor industry demands more high- precision and energy-efficient chips, the demand for EUV mask blanks rises as well, driving the EUV mask blanks market forward. Based on the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) reports, the global semiconductor sales boomed $57.8 million during the month of November 2024, indicating a substantial growth in November and reaching its maximum sales rates.

Restraint

High costs of EUV mask blanks:

The high cost of EUV masks is one of the notable limitations in the EUV mask blanks market, which affects both the integrated circuit (IC) and semiconductor industries. The overall expenditures tied to the production of these mask blanks with tighter specifications are quite high because of the usage of high-tech materials and the requirement for cutting-edge tools in the process of manufacturing. It was found that IC sales increased over 20% in 2024, predominantly fueled by the growing appetite for data center memory chips. In the making of ICs, EUV lithography is used to create intricate patterns on semiconductor wafers which involve complex processes. Hence, the total cost of semiconductor lithography due to its costly equipment usage is also responsible for propelling the market.
