Conformal Coatings Global Market Report 2024

Conformal coatings are thin polymeric layers applied to printed circuit boards (PCBs) to safeguard them and their components from environmental damage and corrosion. These coatings conform to the PCB's irregular surface, enhancing operational integrity, dielectric resistance, and reliability.

The primary types of conformal coatings include acrylic, silicone, epoxy, urethane, and perylene. Acrylic coatings utilize a cross-linking system to ensure adhesion and are employed in various formulations such as organic solvent-borne, waterborne, powder, and radiation-curable types. They find applications in architectural finishes, industrial products, and decorative coatings. Technologies used in conformal coatings include water-based, solvent-based, and UV-cured methods, applied through techniques such as dip coating, brush coating, spray coating, and chemical vapor deposition. These coatings cater to various industries including automotive, consumer electronics, aerospace and defense, industrial sectors, among others.

This conformal coatings market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The conformal coatings market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $13.49 billion in 2023 to $14.53 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. Historical growth can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs), a rising need for conformal coatings in medical equipment, and growing demand within the aerospace industry.

The conformal coatings market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.75 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The forecasted growth is expected due to factors such as government support, global population growth, urbanization, and increased investments in 5G technology and telecom infrastructure. Major trends in this period encompass continued government support, global population expansion, urbanization, and augmented investments in 5G technology and telecom infrastructure.

The conformal coatings market is anticipated to experience significant growth, driven by the increasing demand in the consumer electronics industry. This sector encompasses a wide range of electronic products such as smartphones, TVs, and personal computers. Conformal coatings play a crucial role in protecting consumer electronics from chemicals, hazardous conditions, and toxins commonly found in offices and residences. ClearSale, a US-based company, projects that the revenue generated by the consumer electronics sector will surpass $450 billion by 2024. This heightened demand for conformal coatings in the consumer electronics industry is poised to be a key driver for the overall growth of the conformal coatings market.

The growth trajectory of the conformal coatings market is further propelled by substantial investments in 5G technology and telecom infrastructure. With the emergence of 5G, printed circuit boards (PCBs) are engineered to offer optimal signal integrity, impedance control, and thermal management. The increased utilization of PCBs in 5G technologies and telecom infrastructure underscores the importance of conformal coatings in safeguarding circuit boards, components, and electronic devices from adverse environmental conditions. Notably, as of September 2022, the GSM Association reports that Indian telecom giants are anticipated to invest approximately $19.5 billion in advanced infrastructure for 5G by 2025. Additionally, Ernst and Young, a UK-based professional services firm, indicates that around 70% of surveyed enterprises plan to make substantial investments in 5G over the next three years compared to other emerging technologies. Consequently, the rising investments in 5G technology and telecom infrastructure are poised to drive the growth of the conformal coatings market in the forecast period.

Companies within the conformal coatings market are strategically investing in the development of UV-curable conformal coatings as a means to fortify their market positioning. UV-curable conformal coatings have proven efficacy in delivering exceptional protection for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other electronic components. These coatings establish a robust protective barrier, safeguarding PCBs against various environmental factors, including moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. In a notable example, Chase Corporation, a US-based specialty chemicals company, introduced the UV40 range within its HumiSeal brand in 2021. This series of UV-curable conformal coatings, specifically designed for medium- and high-volume PCB manufacturing applications, offers superior protection and value. The gel conformal coating materials in the UV40 series boast an application thickness of up to 1mm, representing a tenfold increase compared to conventional conformal coatings. The thermal properties of the HumiSeal UV40 conformal coating, conforming to military standard MIL-I-46058C, encompass a continuous operating range from -65°C (-85°F) to +135°C (275°F) and withstand thermal shock.

Strategic mergers and acquisitions have gained prominence as companies seek to augment their product portfolios and geographical reach. Major players are actively pursuing mergers and acquisitions to strengthen their market presence.
