Market Drivers:

In the field of electronic semiconductors, etching gases are widely used in industries such as integrated circuits, liquid crystal panels, LEDs and photovoltaics. In recent years, downstream industry technologies have rapidly changed, especially in the field of integrated circuit manufacturing, where process nodes have been continuously reduced, ranging from 28nm to 5nm processes, and wafer sizes from 8-inch to 12-inch wafers. As a key material in integrated circuit manufacturing, with the rapid iteration of downstream industrial technology, the requirements for purity and accuracy of special gases continue to improve. For example, in terms of purity, ordinary industrial gases require around 99.99%, but in the advanced integrated circuit manufacturing process, the gas purity requirement is usually above 6N (99.9999%).

With the continuous improvement of product refinement in the electronic semiconductor industry, the customization characteristics of products required by customers are obvious. Gas suppliers are required to customize production according to their needs, which puts forward high requirements for the technical and process level of gas suppliers. Taking the lithography gas used in the integrated circuit lithography process as an example, it is required to be matched with the lithography machine.

The competition among vendors will increase during the forecast period. Vendors will compete to deliver competitive advantages in the market on the basis of pricing, user-friendly interfaces, value-added benefits, and service portfolios. During the forecast period, we expect this competition to intensify with an increase in product extensions.

Restraint:

The internationally accepted standard for electronic gases is the SEMI standard (International Semiconductor Equipment and Materials Commission Standard), but several major foreign gas companies have their own company standards. These standards highlight the technical level characteristics of each company. In terms of product purity, it is generally 1-2 orders of magnitude higher, and has its own characteristics in terms of analysis and testing, packaging, usage methods, and application technical descriptions. Some companies only indicate "needs" on the content of certain key impurities (metal impurities, particulate impurities, etc.). "Negotiation with users" shows that the electronic gas technology and market competition are very fierce, and key technologies are kept secret.

As a key material, the quality of special gas products has a significant impact on the normal production of downstream industries. If quality problems occur in the gas products used in wafer production, it will lead to the scrapping of the entire production line, resulting in huge losses. Therefore, downstream industry customers are extremely cautious and strict in their selection of gas suppliers.

On the one hand, customers in high-end fields such as integrated circuits, display panels, and photovoltaic energy need to undergo two rounds of strict audit and certification for gas suppliers. The audit and certification cycle in the photovoltaic energy field is usually 0.5 to 1 year, the display panel is usually 1-2 years, and the audit and certification cycle in the integrated circuit field is up to 2-3 years; On the other hand, in order to maintain stable gas supply, customers will not easily change gas suppliers after establishing a cooperative relationship with gas suppliers, and both parties will establish a feedback mechanism to meet customers' personalized needs, continuously strengthening customer stickiness. Therefore, for new entrants, long certification cycles and strong customer stickiness form high customer barriers.

Customers have a rich demand for various types of industrial gas products. Due to factors such as cost control and warehouse management, customers prefer gas suppliers to sell multiple types of products and provide specialized supporting services such as packaging container handling, testing, maintenance, and design and installation of gas supply systems, in order to meet their one-stop gas demand. This requires high comprehensive service capabilities of gas companies. In addition, due to the characteristics of multiple varieties, small batches, and high frequency of gas used by special gas customers, high requirements are put forward for the delivery capacity of gas suppliers, which requires reasonable cost control while ensuring efficient and timely service.

Therefore, the ability to provide one-stop gas application solutions and efficient and reasonable logistics and distribution services requires enterprises to have a deep industry accumulation and understanding, which forms a high barrier for new entrants.

In the field of electronic semiconductors, etching gases are widely used in industries such as integrated circuits, liquid crystal panels, LED and photovoltaics. In recent years, downstream industry technologies have rapidly changed, especially in the field of integrated circuit manufacturing, where process nodes have been continuously reduced, ranging from 28nm to 5nm processes, and wafer sizes from 8-inch to 12-inch wafers.
