Valley Cottage, NY -- (SBWire) -- 10/10/2017 --Future Market Insights (FMI), in its recent report titled, "Functional Films Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment 2015 - 2020", projects that market value of functional films will reach US$ 27.32 Bn by 2020 at a CAGR of 4.92%.

Functional films are applied on fragile surfaces of sheet-type substrates to prevent damage by impact, scratches, etc. during transportation from production site to assembly site and also during assembly. The films also improve functionality and impart other novel properties to substrates and are widely used in Flat Panel Displays (FPDs), electronics and communications devices, and semiconductors.

According to FMI's analysis, increasing urbanisation and rise in disposable income are some of the macro-economic factors driving growth of the global functional films market. Advancement and innovation in technology has also led to an increase in demand for functional films.

Growth of the solar cells market has provided an impetus to the functional films market. Use of functional films in the automotive sector for window profiles, decoration, wheel arches, control arms, and steering knuckles has also augured well for the functional films market.
