Anti-Static Films Global Market Report 2024

Anti-static films are designed to protect package components from internal static electricity generation. These films are typically made using a single layer of non-amide polyethylene, a non-corrosive material employed to safeguard static-sensitive items like electronic components and commodities. The film exhibits excellent mechanical qualities and aids in minimizing static charge in electronic components and sensitive electronic equipment.

The primary materials used in anti-static films include polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and others. Polyethylene (PE) antistatic film, known for its excellent tape adherence, lightweight, and durability, is created using a three-layer co-extrusion blow molding machine. This film consists of 65 to 85% polyethylene, 31 to 14% metallocene polyethylene, and 1 to 4% antistatic agent. The clear antistatic polyethylene film retains its smoothness and transparency even after the introduction of a specified amount of antistatic compound. Anti-static films find applications in bags and pouches, liners, wraps, tapes, clamshells, among others, and are utilized in various industries such as electronics, pharmaceutical and healthcare, automotive, and more.

The anti-static films market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.61 billion in 2023 to $0.65 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The increase in the historic period can be attributed to factors such as stringent ESD protection regulations, the growth of the semiconductor industry, the expansion of the automotive sector, and overall economic growth.

The anti-static films market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.87 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing demand for electronic components, the expansion of the healthcare sector, a heightened emphasis on safety and quality, the growth of e-commerce and logistics, and ongoing research and development in materials science. Key trends expected in this period involve the trend towards miniaturization, the adoption of 3D printing, the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), the development of anti-static films with integrated sensors, and the utilization of nanomaterials in anti-static films.

The ascent of the e-commerce sector is anticipated to be a driving force behind the growth of the anti-static films market in the projected period. E-commerce denotes the buying and selling of goods and services through electronic platforms. Anti-static plastic films, encompassing bubble covers, films, and foams, are widely employed by retailers to package a variety of products, particularly electronics. In August 2023, the United States Census Bureau reported a 7.5% increase in e-commerce sales during the second quarter compared to the previous year, constituting 15.4% of total sales. This surge underscores the pivotal role of e-commerce in boosting the demand for anti-static films.

The expansion of the electronics industry is poised to significantly drive the growth of the anti-static films market moving forward. The electronics sector involves the creation, production, and distribution of electronic devices and components. Anti-static films serve a critical function in this industry by shielding delicate electronic components and devices from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and potential damage. These films are utilized as protective packaging, covers, and liners for electronic products. Notably, projections by ROI Revolution in September 2022 foresee a substantial increase in US consumer electronics revenue and e-commerce revenue by 2025. This expansion underscores the growing demand for anti-static film solutions within the thriving electronics industry.

A notable trend in the anti-static films market is the growing emphasis on technological advancements. Key players in this sector are channeling efforts towards enhancing anti-static films, developing high-performance solutions with corrosion-inhibiting properties suitable for disposal in commercial composting environments. For example, in February 2022, Cortec Corporation unveiled the EcoSonic VpCI-125 ESD Shrink Film, integrating cutting-edge film technology and Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI) Technology to create a revolutionary product with robust static dissipative features. This shrink film effectively replaces traditional rust preventatives, ensuring immediate product use without requiring cleaning or degreasing. The focus on technological innovation underlines the continuous evolution and development in the field of anti-static films.

Prominent players within the anti-static films market are introducing novel products such as the aerospace conductive coating (CM0485115) to enhance their market standing and profitability. This innovative solution provides high conductivity to non-conductive substrates, creating an anti-static conductive film. In September 2023, Sherwin-Williams Company, a renowned US-based manufacturer of paints and coatings, introduced the aerospace conductive coating (CM0485115). Best application results recommend using the conductive coating in a single, continuous closed film or via a cross-coat method. This solution is compatible with all non-electrostatic spray equipment and can be applied to pre-primed aluminum and composite substrates to achieve heightened conductivity.

In October 2022, SDI Group PLC, a UK-based manufacturer of scientific and technological products, made a strategic move by acquiring Fraser Anti-Static Techniques Limited for $13.25 million. This acquisition serves as a growth strategy for SDI Group, incorporating Fraser into SDI’s sensors and controls division. Fraser Anti-Static Techniques Limited, a UK-based manufacturer specializing in anti-static equipment, aligns with SDI Group’s expansion plans and aims to bolster their market presence in this sector.
