Photomask Market Overview :

Global Photomask Market is estimated to reach $3,841.9 Million by 2025; growing at a CAGR of 2.4% from 2017 to 2025. Photomask is a metal covered glass substrate with transparent openings. The metal works as an absorption layer for light at different wavelengths. It is tool used for productions of components including electronic devices (semiconductors), displays, PCB, and MEMS. It is a master copy for the patterning. Photomasks are used for prototyping in all kind of fields of research and for high end production of semiconductor devices and electronic components. Photomask based UV lithography is still the workhorse for micro-fabrication. The process of developing photomask has become more complex as a new generation of ICs have nearby 25-60 layers. ICs are being used on a big scale in electronic devices such as smartphones and other consumer devices.

Increasing demand of semiconductor and IC manufacturing and development of chips with high circuit densities are the factors driving the growth of the photomask market. However, thermal expansion effects on photomask may hinder the growth of the market. Moreover, innovation in processor technology by companies might provide with several growth opportunities in the forecasted year.
