Etching Agents Market Segmented product type such as Hydrochloric Acid, Nitric Acid, Ammonia, Ammonium Chloride, Ferric Chloride, Others (Sodium Hydroxide, Ammonium Persulfate, etc;) with substrate type such as Metal, Ceramic, Concrete, Glass
Etching is a process in which the undesired parts of a component are exposed to chemicals such as acids and bases. This process yields a desired shape and the chemicals involved in the process are known as etching agents or etchants. The desired parts of the component are masked either by rubber or other inert substances that are resistant to the etching agents.
The manufacturing of semiconductors employed in the electronics industry is the most primary end us of etching agents in commercial application. The etching agents find their share of application specifically in the production of Integrated Circuits (ICs), Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), among others. The selection criteria for etching agents primarily considers the substrate material to be etched.

The robust growth in the electronics industry is considered to be one of the prominent factor causing the increasing sales of etching agents worldwide. The increasing demand in the automotive and aerospace industries, has caused a surge in turn propelling the demand for etching agents which are employed in metal fabrication and designing of final circuitry.
For the micro – fabrication, precision is of utmost importance, which can be achieved by etching process. Etching being an inexpensive operation, is preferred and hence is propelling the demand for etching agents worldwide.
However, there are few, but notable, setbacks in the etching agents marketplace. The etching agents are noted to be corrosive, causing damage to the equipment and/or the metal piece. The process also generates by-products that may be harmful for the environment.
The disposal of such by-products is a matter of concern for the users and hence is anticipated to restrict the consumption of certain etching agents over the course of the forecast period. Since there are no existing substitute materials or technology this effect will have little consequence to the overall market growth of etching agents.
