格隆汇获悉，彤程新材料集团股份有限公司（简称"彤程新材"）于2月8日递表港交所，由国泰海通证券担任保荐人。 2018年6月27日，彤程新材在上交所上市，证券代码：603650.SH，截至2026年2月13日收盘，公司股价58.91元/股，市 值362.9亿元。 近年来，光刻胶的国产替代一直是市场重点关注的方向之一。 光刻胶是电子化学品产业"皇冠上的明珠"，我国光刻胶产业起步较晚，且主要集中在中低端市场，国产化率较低，高 分辨率的光刻胶核心技术被日美垄断。 根据中商产业研究院数据显示，我国光刻胶生产中，技术难度较低的PCB光刻胶占比达94%，面板光刻胶占3%，技术 难度最高且全球市场份额最大的半导体光刻胶仅占2%。 近期，国产光刻胶企业彤程新材向港交所发起了冲击。 | 常运输 | 品种 | 国产化率 | | --- | --- | --- | | PCB 光刻胶 | 干膜光刻胶 | 几乎全进口 | | | 湿膜及阻焊油墨 | 50% | | 面板光刻胶 | 彩色光刻胶 | 5% | | | 黑色光刻胶 | 5% | | | TFT-LCD 正性光刻胶 | 大部分进口 | | 半导体光刻胶 | g 线光刻胶 | ...
