February 24, 2025 - With the vigorous development of the global chip industry, the electronic water treatment industry has ushered in unprecedented development opportunities. According to the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics Organization, by 2025, the total size of the global semiconductor market is expected to reach US$687 billion, a 5% increase over 2024. Behind this growth is the continuous expansion of the semiconductor industry's production capacity and the continuous increase in demand for water resources.
In the chip manufacturing process, the need for ultrapure water is crucial. From photolithography fumigation to high-temperature diffusion to wet etching, all aspects are inseparable from the consumption of a large amount of ultrapure water. It is estimated that the global semiconductor industry consumes up to 2 trillion liters of water every year. Faced with such a huge demand, the electronic water treatment industry must continue to innovate and improve its technical level to meet the increasingly stringent water quality requirements.
At the same time, with the increasingly severe global water resources situation, the electronic water treatment industry is also facing huge challenges. How to achieve recycling of water resources and energy conservation and emission reduction while ensuring water quality has become an urgent problem that the industry needs to solve. To this end, many electronic water treatment companies have increased their R&D investment, and are committed to developing more efficient, energy-saving and environmentally friendly water treatment technologies.
