According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Photomask Market is accounted for $5.81 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $9.16 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period. A photomask is a crucial tool used in photolithography for micro-fabrication, particularly in semiconductor manufacturing. It consists of a glass or quartz plate coated with an opaque material patterned to block light selectively. When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, the photomask transfers its pattern onto a photosensitive layer on a silicon wafer. This process enables the precise etching of intricate circuit designs essential for creating integrated circuits and other micro-devices.
