DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/p9tf5x/2015_electronic) has announced the addition of the "2015 Electronic Gases Market Report - A Critical Materials Report" report to their offering.
The Gases Report provides market and business trend details on process gases used for semiconductor device manufacturing. The entire market is analyzed and forecasted in terms of revenues for the bulk and specialty gas categories. Selected bulk and specialty gases are highlighted every year. Supply chain issues are also provided.
Rancho Santa Fe, CA, June 15: The 2014 market for electronic gases totaled $3.5B, up 5.8% over the prior year, according to a new report from Techcet Group, 2015 Electronic Gases Market Report - A Critical Materials Report. The 2015 outlook is for 6.2% growth overall, with the electronic specialty gases segment leading the way with 6.5% growth to $2.4B and bulk gases increasing 5.8% to $1.3B. Though electronic gas revenues are expected to continue growing at this pace, supply and demand issues affecting NF3, WF, xenon and neon are expected throughout the year.
Helium supply is stable for now, as the US Bureau of Land Management began selling to the commercial market at the end of 2014. NF3 supply remains tight, while suppliers wait to see who jumps in first to build more capacity. WF6is in a similar situation, although demand has been growing steadily. Xe and Ne both face tight supply exacerbated by instability in the Ukraine.
In bulk gases, Air Products and Air Liquide share the market lead with 32% and 28% share respectively. In specialty gases, Air Products has a comfortable 7 point lead over Air Liquide though each is over 20% share. Praxair, Linde and TNSC-Matheson round out the other global share leaders.
The 2015 Gases Report provides strategic information to ensure business continuity and support category management of the specialty and bulk gas markets and their supply chains. Included are supplier issues, raw material concerns and supplier profiles. Current issues surrounding tungsten hexafluoride, nitrogen trifluoride, neon, krypton, xenon, and several more are highlighted. In addition to these, the report discusses technology trends that impact gas usage, such as multi-patterning, lithography, TSV, and PCM technology. In addition to technology trends, supply chain issues and regulatory changes that impact gases are also discussed in this year's report.
