Conformal Coatings Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Product (Acrylic, Epoxy, Urethane, Silicone, and Parylene), by Application, by Region, and Segment Forecasts, 2022-2030

The global conformal coatings market size is anticipated to reach USD 1,493.46 million by 2030., advancing at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period. The global conformal coatings market is anticipated to grow with the development in aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, and medical applications across the globe. Rising expectations regarding automation in the abovementioned applications have driven the demand for electronic devices & equipment.



The conformal coatings provide improved product characteristics, including high heat, dust, moisture resistance, corrosion resistance, and improved overall durability. The use of conformal coating has driven the demand for high-quality dispensing mechanisms to dispense conformal coatings effectively, since poor dispersion results in cracks in the coating layer and affects PCB functions. In January 2021, Delta Electronics, Inc. provided a PCB conformal coating dispensing and inspection solution to an electronic automotive component manufacturer in Tianjin, China. The mechanism dispenses coatings through a nozzle and triggers an alarm in case of insufficient or improper dispensing.

Players in the conformal coatings market are adopting merger & acquisition initiatives to expand their reach. For instance, in May 2021, Element Solutions, Inc. acquired H.K. Wentworth Limited, a U.K.-based company involved in manufacturing conformal coatings, thermal management materials, electronic cleaning solutions, and encapsulation resins. The company has a presence in over 55 countries and caters to end-user markets, including aerospace & defense, medical, telecommunications, and consumer electronics. This acquisition can help Element Solutions, Inc. to expand its conformal coatings manufacturing capacity in various end-use markets.

Due to the presence of several players in the conformal coatings market, the competitive rivalry is high. Conformal coating manufacturers collaborate with other market players to increase their market share. For instance, in May 2021, Dymax and HZO, Inc. entered into a strategic alliance to facilitate joint product development, formulate existing coating solutions, and accelerate market reach. Dymax is involved in producing conformal coatings, and such initiatives can strengthen its position in the conformal coatings market.
