Heightened hygiene and sanitation awareness, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, has increased demand for effective disinfection solutions. Consumers, businesses, and institutions prioritize cleanliness to minimize the risk of illness and infection transmission. Constant surface disinfection and regular hand hygiene have been deemed critical by governments and health organizations across the globe to avert the transmission of contagious illnesses.
Additionally, the rising global semiconductor industry significantly influences the demand for it in critical applications such as cleaning, surface preparation, and wafer fabrication. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, the global semiconductor industry sales totaled $48.0 billion during November 2023, an increase of 5.3% compared to the November 2022 total of $45.6 billion and 2.9% more than the October 2023 total of $46.6 billion. In conclusion, the expansion of the global semiconductor and electronics industry is propelling the market's growth.
However, fluctuating raw material prices directly impact the profitability of IPA manufacturers. When raw material prices rise, manufacturers may face increased production costs, reduced profit margins, and pricing pressures. Conversely, when raw material prices fall, manufacturers may experience margin compression and competitive challenges in delivering customer cost savings. Fluctuating raw material prices challenge IPA manufacturers' financial planning and risk management. Hence, volatility in raw material prices is impeding the growth of the market.
