Driven by the rapid development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, the electronic grade hydrofluoric acid industry has broad development space
Hydrofluoric acid refers to an aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride gas. It is a clear, colorless, fuming corrosive liquid that can dissolve oxides. Electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid is a high-end hydrofluoric acid product prepared from anhydrous hydrofluoric acid through distillation, purification, ultrafiltration and other processes. It belongs to a subcategory of wet electronic chemicals. According to different purity standards, electronic grade hydrofluoric acid can be divided into EL, UP, UPS, UPSS, and UPSSS grade hydrofluoric acid. The main function of electronic grade hydrofluoric acid is to remove oxides. Its main application areas include integrated circuits, photovoltaic cells, LED displays, etc.
The upstream of the electronic grade hydrofluoric acid industry chain is a supplier of raw materials, with the main raw material being fluorite; the midstream is a manufacturer of electronic grade hydrofluoric acid, with major companies including Stella, Daikin, Morita Chemical, Yongfei Chemical, Solvay, and Polyfluoro Duo, Binhua Group, Juhua Co., Ltd., Tianci High-tech Materials, Sanmei Chemical, Xingli Electronics, Yingpeng Chemical, Jingrui Chemical, etc.; downstream is the application field, mainly including integrated circuits, photovoltaics, LED panels and other fields.
From the upstream of the industrial chain, my country is rich in fluorspar resources with low impurity content and good mining conditions. Currently, domestic fluorspar production ranks first in the world. In recent years, my country’s fluorspar production has shown a gradual growth trend. In 2021, my country’s fluorspar production was 5.411 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 0.2%, and the production accounted for 62.9% of the global total production. The sufficient supply of upstream raw materials has laid a good foundation for the development of the electronic grade hydrofluoric acid industry.
From the downstream of the industrial chain, my country’s semiconductor and photovoltaic cell industry has been in a stage of rapid development in recent years. The domestic integrated circuit market size will reach 1.12513 billion yuan in 2021; according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, my country’s photovoltaic cell output will reach 234.054 million yuan in 2021. kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 42.1%. Driven by the rapid development of the upstream and downstream industrial chains, my country’s electronic grade hydrofluoric acid market demand continues to increase and production continues to increase. According to the 《2022-2026》 issued by the Industrial Research Center The “In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report on the Electronic Grade Hydrofluoric Acid Industry” shows that domestic electronic grade hydrofluoric acid production will reach 312,000 tons in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 12.1%.
At this stage, global electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid production capacity is mainly concentrated in Japanese companies, among which Stella Chemifa is currently the largest company in the global electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid market. As a high-end hydrofluoric acid product, the production of electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid requires a high level of technical complexity. The domestic industry started relatively late. For a long time, my country’s electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid market has been highly dependent on imports.
Industry analysts said that in recent years, driven by the continued increase in application market demand, local electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid companies are constantly rising. , have stepped up their efforts in the domestic market, which in turn has driven the electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid market’s dependence on imports to continue to decline, and the industry’s development trend is improving. However, at this stage, the technical level of local enterprises is still relatively low and the scale is relatively small, and the number of enterprises with UPSS grade and above hydrofluoric acid production capacity is still relatively small. my country’s electronic grade hydrofluoric acid industry is still in the preliminary development stage, and future development The space is huge.
