Huatai Securities has noted a significant increase in the price of domestic UP/UPS grade electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid, attributing the rise to increased costs and growing demand from AI computing expansion and semiconductor manufacturing upgrades. The firm suggests that the global shortage of G5-grade products, dominated by Japanese companies, presents a substantial opportunity for domestic Chinese manufacturers to increase their market share. This trend indicates a potential for large-scale replacement of imported electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid in high-end wafer manufacturing, leading to profit growth for domestic G5-grade hydrofluoric acid producers.
