HIGH PURITY ARSENIC MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global high purity arsenic market size was valued at USD 0.03 billion in 2023 and is projected to touch USD 0.04 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period.

In the air, water, and land, arsenic is widely distributed as a naturally occurring element in the earth's crust. As an inorganic compound, it is extremely toxic. Drinking contaminated water, using contaminated water in food preparation and crop irrigation, industrial processes, etc. all expose people to high levels of inorganic arsenicHigh grade arsenic has a purity of 99.9999%. In the electronics industry, ultrapure arsenic (6N) is extensively employed as a dopant and in III-V compound semiconductors. Arsenic (6N pure) must currently be imported into India because it cannot be produced there. The BARC has standardised a process for converting commercially available arsenic trioxide (99.9%) into 6N (99.9999%) pure arsenic. The quality of the finished product is on par with or better than that of the imported goods. A 200 gramme batch scale has been built specifically for the approach.

It is necessary to handle ultra-pure arsenic under clean benches in clean rooms in order to prevent impurities from entering the product through ambient air. As the starting material, commercial arsenic trioxide (99.9%) is used.

For solar cells, space research, and telecommunications, high purity arsenic metal was used to produce gallium-arsenide (GaAs) semiconductors. Optical materials made from germanium arsenide-selenide also contained arsenic. The short-wave infrared technology was based on indium-gallium-arsenide (InGaAs). For biomedical, communications, computer, electronics, and photovoltaic applications, high-purity arsenic metal was used to produce GaAs, indium-arsenide, and InGaAs semiconductors. The global market for high purity arsenic metal is estimated to be worth $200 million by 2020. The production of GaAs wafers in China accounted for almost one-half of global production

COVID-19 Impact: Imposed Lockdown and Shutdown to Hamper Market

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the high purity arsenic market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden surge in CAGR is attributable to high purity arsenic market growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Since the virus spread so rapidly, the COVID-19 had a negative impact on the high purity arsenide market. The pandemic had a negative impact on the global economy due to imposed lockdowns and total shutdowns in almost every region of the world. The manufacturing and supply chain of most industries experienced a significant downturn in the first half of the year. The market, which is an important component of the semiconductor industry, also slowed in the early months of the pandemic. Travel restrictions caused supply chain disruption, which impacted the market. Consumer confidence and economic uncertainty have affected demand for gallium arsenide germanium solar cells (Gaas). In addition to supply chain delays, logistics activities were delayed as a result of the pandemic. Due to the easing of restrictions, the high purity arsenic market is expected to regain its pace following the pandemic.

HIGH PURITY ARSENIC MARKET REGIONAL INSIGHTS

"Asia Pacific to Lead the Market Share Owing to the Presence of Market Players"

With most of the consumption in populated countries like China and India, the Asia Pacific region is on its way to becoming the global leader in arsenic production and consumption due to the presence of more number of market players. High purity arsenic metal is primarily produced in China, which accounts for about 90% of the world's production. As a result of the growing use of glass products owing to their physio-chemical properties, such as chemical and mechanical resistance, and the fact that they can reduce breakage risk, there is a rise in arsenic in the glass industry. Accordingly, the global high purity arsenic market growth. As urbanization increases, wood is used in a variety of buildings, offices, furniture, etc., in the region, therefore, arsenic is used to fix concoctions in place to minimize wood leaching, increasing the demand for arsenic in the area. As the population and agricultural activities in the region grow, pesticides containing arsenic are widely used to prevent the growth of unwanted organisms, which drives the demand for global arsenic.
