Global Mica Tape for Insulation Market is Forecasted to Grow at a CAGR of 3% Till 2027

The global mica tape for insulation market held a market value of USD 164.1 Million in 2020 and is forecasted to reach USD 200.1 Million by the year 2027. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 3% during the forecast period.

Micas are a cluster of minerals. Its mica crystals can easily be divided into extremely thin elastic plates. Mica tape is made using mica paper glued special resin to the substrate of the polyethylene or glass fiber. The product acts as a very good insulator. Rising applications of mica electrical insulation in consumer electronics are a major driver to the market growth. These application areas include a hairdryer, toasters, and other such electrical appliances used at home. Furthermore, favorable government initiatives to promote the semiconductor industry and growing usage of mica products in the aerospace sector are also expected to fuel the market growth.

Growth Influencers:

Increasing application of mica electrical insulation in consumer electronics

Mica tape is quite commonly used in everyday appliances and consumer electronics. Since the product is very easy to shape, it is apt for mass production of components. This also allows electronic manufacturers to ensure meeting the strict safety standards, associated with consumer electronics. Furthermore, mica tape’s versatility is also suited for small form factors, which is required, as demand for greater performance in consumer electronics needs to be balanced with considerations regarding weight, design, and size.

Favorable government initiatives to promote the semiconductor industry

Various government initiatives to develop the semiconductor industry are expected to drive market growth. For instance, in the Union Budget of 2017-18, the government of India increased the allocation for incentive schemes, such as the Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme (M-SIPS) and the Electronic Department Fund (EDF), to USD 111 million. To ensure further investments, reduce dependence on imports, and create employment opportunities, the government amended the M-SIPS in 2020 and approved new incentives for investors, worth USD 1.47 billion. Such initiatives by government organizations to boost the semiconductor industry are expected to drive the market growth of mica tape for the insulation market.

Growing usage of mica products in the aerospace sector

Mica products are extensively used in the aerospace industry for thermal as well as electrical insulation. The element is perfectly suitable as an ideal insulation material for the aerospace industry since it is lightweight. Furthermore, exceptionally thin and lightweight mica sheets can withstand temperatures as high as 900 degrees Celsius. Insulation of thrust reversal system, high-temperature fire protection of black box in case of unexpected events, flame retardant barrier for aircraft body, and electric & thermal insulation of aircraft battery, are some of the most common applications of mica tape in the aerospace industry.
