South Korea's imports of hydrogen fluoride from Japan have increased, and domestic companies are facing challenges

Since Japan lifted its export restrictions on South Korea, South Korea's imports of hydrogen fluoride from Japan have increased. Data shows that from January to May this year, South Korea imported $11.9 million worth of hydrogen fluoride from Japan, accounting for 46.3% of the total imports. In comparison, the proportion in the same period last year was only 7.7%. However, the market share increase of domestic semiconductor material companies in South Korea may encounter bottlenecks as a result.
