Adhesive films market: Drivers and opportunities

A booming consumer electronics industry is one of the primary factors that propel the adhesive films market. There has been growing demand for electrically insulating adhesive films used for substrates, packaging applications, components, lid sealing, and heat sink attach. Rising disposable incomes coupled with better standards of living in emerging economies such as India, China, and Brazil have been supporting the consumer electronics market. Furthermore, reduced production costs in China have been attracting major manufacturers from North America and Europe to shift base. The success of the automotive electronics sector has also bolstered the growth of the adhesive films market owing to increasing usage in applications such as GPS, Bluetooth, television, and rearview camera in automobiles.

Growing applications of adhesive films coupled with technological advancements are expected to fuel the growth of the market across the globe. The field of bio-based adhesive films poses immense opportunities for manufacturers. Adhesive films developed from crude oil have been in conflict with environmental regulations, which have led to the innovation of bio-based adhesive films.

Factors hampering the growth of the market

The two major forces that restrain the market are high cost of production and the complexities of the manufacturing process. Since adhesive films are used in multiple applications, there arises the need to customize as per use, which adds to production intricacies. In addition, adhesive films need to be cured by pressure, heat, or curing agents before use, and this process increases production cost. Furthermore, the volatile prices of raw materials are also expected to inhibit the growth of the adhesive films market.
