Key Drivers of Ultra-high-purity Anhydrous Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) Gas Market:
- Ultra-high-purity anhydrous Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) gas with minimum contaminants is gaining momentum in the global electronics industry, due to the rise in need for better product consistency and maximum purity for improved yield of epitaxial reactors and dry etching processes
- Demand for electronic equipment is expected to increase at a significant pace in the next few years, owing to the rise in need for smartphones, electric appliances, and electronic components such as wafers, integrated circuits (ICs), and data storage devices
- These devices are more susceptible to low-level impurities. Increase in demand for ultra-high-purity anhydrous Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) gas to remove these impurities; purify silicon via trichlorosilane (SiHCl3); and etch semiconductor crystals is driving the market
Industrial Segment to Offer Attractive Opportunities:
- Ultra-high-purity anhydrous Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) gas is employed in various industries such as chemical and pharmaceutical. In the chemical industry, it is used in chemical synthesis reactions to produce hydrochloric acid, vinyl chloride, fertilizers, dyes, and pigments.
- In the metal industry, it is used for the process of CVD coating and hard metal production. Demand for ultra-high-purity anhydrous Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) gas is high in pharmaceutical applications, wherein presence of moisture is not tolerable, for example, manufacture of pharmaceutical ingredients and excimer laser in ophthalmology.
- Stringent legislations and industrial standards in the medical industry regarding sterilization of medical equipment, calibration of medical devices, and use of pneumatic power source for dental and surgical tools are boosting the demand for ultra-high-purity anhydrous Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) gas

High Production Cost and Stiff Competition to Hamper Market:
- The process of obtaining ultra-high-purity anhydrous Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) gas with purity level of more than 99.99% is expensive. Ultra-high-purity anhydrous Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) gas is heavier than air and it needs to be shipped and stored in high-pressure cylinders or tube trailers. Thus, high cost of equipment required for producing ultra-high-purity anhydrous hydrogen chloride gas with purity level of more than 99.99% and high transportation cost are likely to restrain the market during the forecast period.
- Ultra-high-purity anhydrous Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) gas faces stiff competition from other special electronic gases such as hydrogen bromide (HBr), nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), boron trichloride (BCl3), carbon tetrafluoride (CF4), and ammonia (NH3). These gases have lower production costs than ultra-high-purity anhydrous hydrogen chloride gas. This is likely to create intense competition among manufacturers in the near future.
