Cesium Hydroxide Market Information: By Source (Lepidolite, Pollucite), Application (Etchant, Electrolyte, Catalyst), End-Use Industry (Electronics & Semiconductor, Chemical), And Regions – Global Forecast Till 2030

Cesium Hydroxide Market Overview Cesium Hydroxide Market is projected to be worth USD 439.60 Million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.50% during the forecast period (2022 - 2030). CsOH (cesium hydroxide) is a chemical compound made up of cesium ions and hydroxide ions. It is a water-soluble source of cesium that comes in a variety of hydrate forms. The cesium element is primarily recovered from the ore of lepidolite or pollucite. Due to its extreme volatility and reactivity, it has restricted applicability. It's also incredibly hygroscopic and has a potent base that can erode through the glass. Because of its strong reactivity, cesium hydroxide is commonly employed as an etchant for cleaning heavily doped semiconductors in the electronics sector. It is also utilized in electrical storage batteries as an electrolyte. To compensate for substituted enol ethers and enamines, cesium hydroxide can efficiently catalyze the addition of alcohols, substituted anilines, and heterocyclic amines to phenylacetylene. Cesium hydroxide is also used to generate porous cesium titanosilicates, which could be employed as an ion-exchange material for radioactive waste remediation. Over the last few years, the global cesium hydroxide market has grown steadily. During the forecast period, the worldwide cesium hydroxide market is likely to be driven by increased demand for electronics due to the rising spending power of people around the world.
