Worldwide conformal coatings market is anticipated to hit close to USD 16.9 billion by 2026, according to the latest research available at Market Study Report, report provides extensively data on market share, growth, trends and forecasts for the period 2018-2026.
As per the research report, the automotive industry demands these products on a large scale and is the fastest-growing end-use domain for this market. The demand is attributed to the massive proliferation of EVs in the automotive space.
Essentially a protectant, conformal coating is a chemical film or a polymer that is applied on electronic circuits in order to keep them protected from harsh environmental conditions such as moisture in the air and chemical contaminants. These products help ensure the circuit board’s operational integrity and also maintain surface insulation resistance in the long-term.
The major advancements in medical equipment manufacturing, evolving smart vehicle technologies, and the escalating demand for consumer electronic products are some of the significant factors fueling the growth of the global conformal coatings market. The robustly increasing consumer disposable income and the subsequently rising demand for electronic devices such as laptops, mobile phones, etc., have given rise to the requirement of certain products that are deployed in electronics components.
The global conformal coatings market is lately characterized by a number of major advancements. Some of these technological advancements that have had an impact on the industry include the proliferation of parylene-like hydrophobic conformal coatings, silicone-based conformal coatings for corrosion, single component conformal coating materials for protecting sensitive information on PCBs, and low viscosity solvent-free conformal coatings.
Initially these products were meant to be specifically used for medical and military product application, since the process and cost were higher per unit. Now, with the introduction of highly innovative processes as well as the development of material technology, the prices of these products have substantially decreased since the last few years. Conformal coatings have now turned out to be commonplace in the electronic component and circuitry domain.
