Spin on Carbon Market Size, Share Analysis Report 2032

The global spin-on carbon market is projected to grow from USD 0.22 billion in 2026 to USD 0.81 billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of 24.1%. The market is driven by the increasing demand for advanced lithography materials in the manufacturing of logic, memory, and advanced packaging semiconductors. Growth is further supported by continued node scaling, rising adoption of EUV and multi-patterning techniques, and expanding use of SOC hard masks for improved etch selectivity and pattern fidelity. Additionally, rapid fab expansions, growing OSAT activity, and the push toward low-temperature and process-compatible materials to meet sustainability and efficiency goals are accelerating SOC adoption across global semiconductor manufacturing ecosystems.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• By application, the logic devices segment is estimated to account for a 31.4% share of the spin-on carbon market in 2026.
• By end user, the foundries segment accounted for the largest market share in 2025 due to high wafer volumes and early adoption of advanced lithography and etch processes requiring spin-on carbon materials.
• SAMSUNG SDI (South Korea), Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. (Japan), and DONGJIN SEMICHEM CO LTD. (South Korea) were identified as some of the star players in the spin-on carbon market (global), given their strong market share and extensive product footprint.
• Pibond Oy (Finland) and Irresistible Materials (UK), among others, have distinguished themselves among startups and SMEs by securing strong footholds in specialized niche areas, underscoring their potential as emerging market leaders.

 

The spin-on carbon market is set for robust growth as semiconductor manufacturers expand advanced lithography and etching processes to improve device performance, yield, and integration density across logic, memory, and power applications. Additionally, the rising demand for high-aspect-ratio patterning, defect-free etch masks, and reliable interlayer dielectrics drives the adoption of spin-on carbon materials that enable precise pattern transfer, planarization, hard masking, and next-generation packaging solutions.

The spin-on carbon market is evolving from a revenue base dominated by standard SoC materials used in mature and mid-node lithography to high-value growth opportunities driven by advanced semiconductor manufacturing requirements. Future revenue expansion over the next 7–10 years is expected to be fueled by SoC adoption in EUV lithography, advanced multi-patterning, and complex 3D device integration, supported by the growing demand from foundries, integrated device manufacturers, and OSAT.

The spin-on carbon ecosystem includes raw material suppliers, SoC manufacturers, distributors, and end users. Raw material suppliers, such as carbon precursors and specialty chemical providers, form the foundation, enabling SoC manufacturers to formulate high-performance carbon hardmask materials tailored for advanced lithography nodes. SoC manufacturers work closely with semiconductor fabs to ensure process compatibility and performance reliability. Distribution is largely handled through specialized electronic material division and select distributors provide logistics, formulation support, and regional access, rather than open third-party resale. Leading semiconductor foundries and IDMs represent primary end users, driving SoC adoption through advanced logic and memory fabrication, where increasing patterning complexity and multi-layer processes continue to reinforce close collaboration across the entire ecosystem.
