Conformal Coating Market: Growth and Trends
Conformal coating is a protective film that is applied to electronic components, especially printed circuit boards (PCBs), to guard them against environmental threats such as moisture, dust, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. Notably, conformal coating has various advantages, including being lightweight, reducing the necessity for complex enclosures, and providing insulation properties that can significantly decrease PCB conductor spacing. It is important to emphasize that the characteristics of conformal coating materials can be modified by changing the ratio and type of raw materials, such as catalysts and additives.
Conformal coating has applications across various industries, such as aerospace, automotive sector (particularly in hybrid and electric vehicles), telecommunications, medical devices, and renewable energy. Additionally, owing to the ongoing technological advancements, conformal coating is essential for prolonging the lifespan and efficiency of electronic assemblies. This evolution is likely to contribute to the development of conformal coatings that are more effective and protective, increasing their capabilities while reducing thickness.
Another notable advancement is the increase in the development of bio-based conformal coatings and the reduced use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), addressing concerns related to environmental sustainability. Additionally, hybrid resins and advanced chemistries, such as hydrophobic fluoropolymers, are under exploration to meet the changing performance demands of electronics, ensuring reliability in challenging conditions. As a result, owing to the above mentioned factors, the conformal coating market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
