Liquid crystal polymers (LCP) exhibit a highly ordered structure in both liquid and solid states. LCP can replace materials such as ceramics, metals, composites, and other plastics, owing to properties such as outstanding strength at extreme temperatures and resistance to virtually all chemicals. Processing of LCPs include various operations such as fiber spinning, extrusion, film casting, thermoforming, injection, compression, and blow molding. Injection molding and extrusion are two dominant processing operations. Global demand for liquid crystal polymer is expected to increase over the forecast period, owing to their application in various industries such as automotive, electrical & electronics, industrial, consumer appliances, medical, aerospace, and bakeware.
Market Dynamics
Among applications, electrical & electronics industry segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to LARK Technology (U.S.), LCP technology is the future of circuit design and manufacturing of high-performance electronic products. Furthermore, in recent years, LCP finds applications in electronics market such as fifth generation cellular network technology (5G), Radio frequency (RF), and high frequency.
Among regions, Asia Pacific is expected to hold dominant position in the market during the forecast period, owing to presence of majority of liquid crystal polymer manufacturers in the region.
