A low dielectric material is a substance that poorly conducts electricity but efficiently supports electrostatic fields and can store electrical charges. These materials can be solid, liquid, or gaseous, such as paper, air, polyethylene film, or silicone oil. They are used to minimize power loss in high-frequency or power applications, acting as insulators that temporarily store electric charges.
In the low dielectric materials market, the main types are thermoset, thermoplastic, and ceramics. Thermoset materials are used in electronics fields such as printed circuit boards and encapsulation due to their dimensional stability, good chemical resistance, insulation, and adhesion properties. These materials undergo a chemical reaction due to factors such as heat, a catalyst, or ultraviolet light, leaving them in a largely infusible state. Examples of thermoset materials include fluoropolymer, modified polyphenylene ether, polyimide, cyclic olefin copolymer, cyanate ester, liquid crystal polymer, and others, which find applications in PCBs, antennas, microelectronics, wire and cable, radome, and other electronic components.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the low dielectric materials market by raising costs for polymers, ceramic powders, resins, and specialty chemical inputs, leading to higher production expenses and extended procurement cycles. Regions such as Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America experience disruptions due to reliance on imported raw materials used in electronic insulation applications. Segments including PCBs, antenna materials, microelectronics, and radomes are most affected. However, tariffs also stimulate local sourcing initiatives, regional manufacturing investments, and innovation in cost efficient dielectric material formulations.

The emergence of 5G communications is expected to drive the growth of the low-dielectric materials market in the coming years. Fifth-generation wireless communication (5G) represents the latest cellular technology, aimed at significantly enhancing the speed and responsiveness of wireless networks. Low dielectric constant resins are widely used in the manufacturing of equipment such as antenna interlayers, cables, and communication devices for 5G networks. For example, in April 2023, data from 5G Americas, a US-based industry trade organization, revealed that global 5G wireless connections surged by 76% from the end of 2021 to the end of 2022, reaching approximately 1.05 billion. This figure is projected to reach 5.9 billion by the end of 2027. Hence, the rise of 5G communications is propelling the growth of the low dielectric materials market.
Leading companies in the low-dielectric material market are concentrating on developing advanced products, such as innovative dielectric and thermal solutions, to improve PCB performance and reliability by introducing low-loss, high-thermal-conductivity materials.
