Electronic Films Market Highlights:
Electronic Films Market Overview
Electronic Films Market is projected to grow at 6.3% CAGR during the forecast period 2022-2030 and was valued at USD 7.98 Billion in 2018.
Electronic films are high-performance films that protect electronic devices and enhance their performance and durability. These films have an array of applications in the electrical & electronics industry on account of their beneficial properties such as high insulation, optical transparency, and excellent chemical resistance. Various types of electronic films such as PET, ETFE, copper films are used in electronic displays of smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices. For instance, PET (polyethylene terephthalate) films are used in electronic displays of solar cells to protect the optics from environmental factors such as abrasion, dust, or heat and to improve reflectivity and transmission of light.
The Market is expected to be driven by increased demand for electronic films in the electronics industry to manufacture smartphones, tablets, and touch panel displays. This is primarily attributed to the growing consumer demand for LED and LCD touch panels. For instance, the consumer electronics association (CEA) in January 2018 predicted an increase of 3.95% in the consumer electronics sector over 2017 with a retail revenue of USD 351 billion. Moreover, the increasing demand for high-performance polymer films in numerous electronic applications is further projected to propel the market growth in the coming years.
Furthermore, the rapid technological advancements in electronic films coupled with the continuous development of printed circuit boards and other electronic products will offer immense market opportunities for the players operating in electronic films market during the forecast period.
However, high processing cost associated with ITO based electronic films is expected to create major challenges for the market players and is likely to hinder the market growth during the assessment period.
