On Nov 25, Global Info Research released "Global Electronic Grade Hydriodic Acid Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031". This report includes an overview of the development of the Electronic Grade Hydriodic Acid industry chain, the market status of Electronic Grade Hydriodic Acid Market, and key enterprises in developed and developing market, and analysed the cutting-edge technology, patent, hot applications and market trends of Electronic Grade Hydriodic Acid.

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Electronic Grade Hydriodic Acid market size was valued at US$ 11.47 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 18.91 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 7.4% during review period.
In this report, we will assess the current U.S. tariff framework alongside international policy adaptations, analyzing their effects on competitive market structures, regional economic dynamics, and supply chain resilience.
Electronic grade hydriodic acid is the highest purity segment. It is part of the "electronic wet chemicals" family used in semiconductor, display, solar cell and other high-tech manufacturing. In this grade, not only the main impurities are controlled, but also ultra-trace metals (Na, K, Fe, Cu, etc.), particles, organic residues and other halide ions must be kept at extremely low levels. The product is often supplied in special packaging, under nitrogen, and with very strict handling rules.
In electronics, hydriodic acid is used in cleaning and etching processes for semiconductor materials. Public sources note that hydroiodic acid can be used for etching and cleaning silicon wafers and in various steps where its strong acidity and iodide chemistry help remove oxides or unwanted layers from the surface. Electronic wet chemicals in general are described as indispensable materials for the production of semiconductors, flat panel displays and solar cells, because they directly affect patterning quality and device performance. While hydriodic acid is not the largest volume wet chemical-hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide dominate volumes-it has specialized roles where iodide chemistry offers unique selectivity.
The market definition for electronic grade hydriodic acid is therefore "small volume, very high value." Customers are typically semiconductor fabs, compound semiconductor producers, advanced packaging facilities, and sometimes display manufacturers who need very strict control over contamination. Requalification of wet chemicals is expensive and time-consuming, so once a supplier is approved, business relationships can be long-term and relatively stable.
In 2024, global Electronic Grade Hydriodic Acid production reached approximately 354 MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 31.5 per kg. The global single-line production capacity ranges from 15 to 25 MT per year. The industry's gross profit margin is approximately 25%-30%.
The main driver for this segment is the ongoing expansion of the semiconductor and electronics industry. The global trend toward more data centers, artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, 5G networks and consumer electronics leads to higher wafer starts and greater use of all kinds of wet chemicals. Analyses of wet chemicals for electronics highlight rising consumption of high-purity acids and mixtures for cleaning, etching and surface conditioning. As device features become smaller and structures more complex, process engineers look for chemistries that offer fine control and minimal damage; iodide-based etchants are one candidate where they provide the right selectivity, and hydriodic acid is part of that toolbox.
A second driver is the regional spread of semiconductor manufacturing. New fabs are being built not only in traditional regions like the United States, Japan, Korea and Taiwan, but also in mainland China, parts of Southeast Asia, and Europe. Every new fab requires a local or regional supply chain of electronic wet chemicals, including specialized acids like electronic grade hydriodic acid when the process recipes call for it. Governments that support local semiconductor ecosystems indirectly encourage investments in ultra-pure chemical plants and distribution systems.
Third, there is a clear trend toward higher purity and tighter specification in wet chemicals. Even if total volume of hydriodic acid used in electronics is modest, the shift from "general high purity" to "ultra-high purity" increases the number of process steps where only electronic grade material is acceptable. Producers who can remove trace metals to sub-ppb levels and control organic carbon will be able to win orders even if their nominal concentration is similar to an industrial product. However, the electronic grade market also has challenges. Qualification barriers are high, meaning only a handful of companies can meet the required purity and consistency. Price pressure exists because large semiconductor customers negotiate strongly, and wet chemicals are a significant part of fab operating costs. In addition, changes in process technology can suddenly reduce the use of a specific chemical-for instance, if a new etching chemistry replaces an old one that relied on hydriodic acid. Supply security is another concern: because iodine production is geographically concentrated (for example in Chile and Japan), any disruption in iodine supply or price volatility can affect the economics of producing high-purity hydriodic acid.
Despite these issues, the direction for electronic grade hydriodic acid is generally positive. The electronics industry continues to grow faster than global GDP, and the number of wet chemistry steps per wafer is not decreasing. As long as process engineers keep iodide-based etchants and cleaning steps in their recipes, demand for this small but critical niche will gradually rise. The emphasis on ultra-pure, low-defect processing reinforces the need for specialized grades that go far beyond general industrial quality.
