Conformal Coatings Market Report 2026

The conformal coatings market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $15.25 billion in 2025 to $16.57 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in consumer electronics manufacturing, expansion of automotive electronic systems, increasing demand for industrial control electronics, rising adoption of pcbs in harsh environments, availability of advanced polymer coatings.

The conformal coatings market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $22.74 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing electrification of vehicles, rising investments in aerospace electronics, expansion of industrial automation systems, increasing demand for miniaturized electronics protection, growing adoption of sustainable coating technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for pcb protection solutions, growing adoption in automotive electronics, expansion of harsh environment electronics applications, increasing use of uv-cured coatings, enhanced focus on reliability and longevity.

Increasing investments in 5G technology and telecom infrastructure are expected to drive the growth of the conformal coatings market going forward. With the rise of 5G technology, printed circuit boards are designed to ensure optimal signal integrity, impedance control, and thermal management. The growing use of PCBs in 5G technologies and telecom infrastructure supports the demand for conformal coatings, as these materials protect circuit boards, components, and other electronic devices from adverse environmental conditions. For instance, in December 2024, according to Ofcom, a UK-based communications regulator, all major mobile network operators continued deploying 5G infrastructure in 2023, with about £440 million ($0.56 billion) invested in 5G access networks, an increase of around £43 million ($0.055 billion) compared with 2022. Therefore, increasing investments in 5G technology and telecom infrastructure are expected to propel the growth of the conformal coatings market during the forecast period.

Major companies operating in the conformal coatings market are focusing on developing new UV-curable conformal coatings to strengthen their position in the market. UV-curable conformal coatings provide excellent protection for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other electronic components. They create a protective barrier that shields the PCBs from environmental factors such as moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature variations. For instance, in July 2024, Dow, a US-based chemical company, launched the DOWSIL CC-8000 Series UV and Dual Moisture Cure Conformal Coatings, solventless silicone coatings designed to protect electronic components in renewable energy, e-motors, power tools, and home appliances. These coatings cure rapidly through UV/LED light, with a secondary cure for shadowed areas, enabling quick production and lower energy costs compared to heat-cured materials.

In July 2023, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., a US-based global investment company, acquired Chase Corporation for US $1.3 billion. With this acquisition, KKR aims to strengthen its specialty chemicals portfolio, expand operational capabilities, support long-term growth and profitability, and enhance market reach across industrial sectors. Chase Corporation is a US-based manufacturer of specialty chemicals and related solutions serving multiple industrial applications.
