Executive Summary

A conformal coating is a thin polymeric film applied to printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies to protect the board and its components from the environment and corrosion. The film is typically applied at 25- 250 micrometers and “conforms” to the shape of the board and its components, covering and protecting solder joints, the leads of electronic components, exposed traces, and other metalized areas from (gaseous) corrosion, ultimately extending the working life of the PCB. The conformal coating can also refer to thin films that are <1 micrometer thick and perform the same function.

The use of conformal coatings is particularly important in high-reliability electronics applications, such as automotive, military, aerospace, medical, marine, lighting, industrial, and green energy applications. However, due to the rapid expansion of the electronics industry, conformal coatings are also finding their way into the domestic and mobile electronics industries, providing the necessary combination of high performance and reliability within a vast array of electronic devices. Further, the emerging device as a service (DaaS) business model requires extended reliability and lifetimes from the electronics and will greatly benefit from the utilization of suitable conformal coatings.

The Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to be the largest market for the global conformal coatings market in the coming years due to the significant sales of electronics, semiconductors, and medical equipment. The COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the global industrial sector. Market development has been impeded by a lack of demand and a large demand-supply mismatch. Furthermore, the global delay of industrial growth projects, particularly in the aerospace, automotive, construction, and oil and gas sectors due to national lockdowns, will reduce conformal coatings production capacity. Due to COVID- 19, several developing nations are on the verge of bankruptcy. However, in the post-pandemic era, global conformal coatings market manufacturers anticipate an increase in product demand.
