Doped elements and compounds for electronics market in Finland

Earlier Report Observations

The Finnish market for doped elements and compounds for electronics saw significant expansion from 2018 to 2021, with its volume growing from 76 458 kg to 89 415 kg. This increase was primarily driven by a sharp rise in imports during 2021, which reached 10 595 kg compared to 1 730 kg the year before. The market value followed a similar upward trajectory, climbing from 96.8 million USD to 128.5 million USD over the same period.

After the 2021 peak, the market volume contracted in 2022 and 2023, falling to 80 525 kg, before stabilizing at 80 671 kg in 2024. In value terms, the market continued to grow slightly in 2022 but then declined noticeably in 2023 and 2024. During the winter of 2023-2024, Teknologiateollisuus ry and Boston Consulting Group collaborated to develop a national semiconductor strategy for Finland, indicating a strategic push at the state level to bolster the semiconductor and related advanced electronic materials industry.
