According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the Middle East & Africa Electronic Chemicals Market size is anticipated to reach USD 3.85 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2025 to 2035. The market is driven by increasing demand for solar photovoltaic cells for electricity generation is fuelling the growth of the electronic materials & chemicals market. Increasing demand for semiconductor materials from other end-user industries.

Market Overview

The electronic chemicals market in the Middle East and Africa is growing because semiconductor and display, and PCB manufacturing activities are increasing, and technology hubs receive funding in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Electronic chemicals serve as high-purity specialized materials that manufacturers use to create, assemble, and maintain electronic components and devices. The industrial diversification efforts of Saudi Arabia resulted in the country obtaining 35.9% of the Middle East revenue share in 2024. PCBs function as etching materials which create conductive pathways, while they also serve to clean and protect electronic components. In 2022, the PCB segment maintained its position as the leading end-use market segment throughout the MEA region.

SABIC, which operates as a chemical industry leader, launched its LNP THERMOCOMP WFC061I compound in August 2025. This compound contains non-brominated and non-chlorinated flame-retardant (FR) technology that improves the safety and operational performance of essential electric vehicle control units (EVCUs).

The adoption of environmentally friendly electronic chemical formulations is being accelerated by regulations such as Saudi Arabia's SASO RoHS which restricts the use of dangerous materials. National initiatives in the UAE and Saudi Arabia are also working to attract global investment in local chemical and semiconductor production. The National Semiconductor Hub in Saudi Arabia intends to attract more than 50 design firms while training 5000 engineers which will create a high demand for ultra-pure process chemicals.
