Global HBr Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global HBr market size is predicted to grow from US$ 179 million in 2025 to US$ 278 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2026 to 2032.

High-purity hydrogen bromide (HBr) is mainly used in the etching of phosphorus-doped polycrystalline silicon, monocrystalline silicon or two-dimensional semiconductors. It is one of the fluorocarbon gas alternatives and one of the core gases for advanced chip processes, and is widely used in the field of memory chips and advanced processes for logic chips and power semiconductors.

Hydrogen bromide (HBr) has become a key etching gas in advanced semiconductor processes, playing a particularly important role in 8-inch and 12-inch wafer manufacturing. From an application perspective, demand for 12-inch processes dominates and is expected to continue to grow, while other applications such as display panels account for a relatively limited share. Regionally, China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan constitute the primary consumer markets, with China experiencing significant growth and its market share expected to gradually expand. Downstream customers are heavily concentrated among leading semiconductor companies, including Samsung, SK Hynix, TSMC, and Micron. These top customers collectively account for over half of the total market share. In terms of competition, international manufacturers such as Resonac, Air Liquide, Adeka, Nippon Sanso, SK Resonac, and Linde dominate, but Chinese companies such as Taihe Gas, Greenlink Gas, and Fudou New Materials are entering the market and gradually expanding their production capacity. Overall, the HBr market's development is highly dependent on the semiconductor industry cycle, with technological advancements and regional capacity expansion expected to be the primary drivers.
