What Prospects Await Electronic Conformal Coating Suppliers?
“Growing Need for Electronic Conformal Coatings Due to Increasing Focus on Miniaturization of Electronics”
Technological advancements have transformed the electronics industry over the past decade and this trend is expected to be rife over the coming years as well. Electronics and electronic components are now being miniaturized as the complexity of devices is increasing, and to deliver advanced technology in a compact format, there is the need for miniaturized PCBs.
Electronic conformal coatings are crucial to ensure the proper functioning of these miniaturized circuit boards and hence this is expected to prominently drive market growth.
“Rising Use of Electronic Components in Automotive Industry”
The automotive industry has undergone some major changes over the past few years and this has led to increased use of electrical and electronic components in vehicles.
Increasing popularity of electric vehicles and rising focus on sustainability have also increased the use of automotive electronics and hence the demand for electronic conformal coatings is also projected to increase over the coming years.
Competitive Landscape
Some notable developments in the global automotive electronics conformal coatings landscape are as follows:
- In March 2021, Electrolube Limited announced that its UV conformal coating is highly effectual in enhancing durability of electric vehicle management systems across India, providing high degree of protection for electronic circuitry at high production throughputs.
