Volumes in the global anti-reflective (AR) coatings market are estimated to be over 510 kilo tons by 2024. With a CAGR exceeding 6% from 2016 to 2024 (forecast period), the market would be valued about USD 6 billion in 2024. Demand for AR coatings is mainly pushed by higher preference for anti-glare & anti-reflection lenses/eyewear.

The consumption of such coatings in optical and electrical/electronic applications has created huge industry opportunities. These applications should trigger further demand in the near future. The advantages of AR coatings include back glare removal, improved transmittance, and lower reflectance. Their use delivers much better picture quality on devices;   like monitors, televisions, etc. Moreover, AR coatings can capture clearer and ‘close-to-real’ images from optical lenses.

Chief factors favoring the market are burgeoning worldwide population and the need for ‘vision correction.’ Boom in electronics & semiconductor industries coupled with expansion across flat panel displays is expected to positively impact market consumption.

Focus on renewable energy is projected to create new avenues for AR coatings. Owing to their anti-reflective properties, they could become integral to solar panels in the forthcoming years. However, consumers in the Anti-Reflective Coatings Market are not fully aware of the uses and benefits of these products. This inhibits market growth. Furthermore, soaring prices of key raw materials, like magnesium chloride may have an adverse effect.

The global conformal coating market is segmented on the basis of products, end-users, and regions. Based on products, the segments are parylene, urethane, silicone, epoxy, acrylic, and others. ‘Others’ consists of UV cure coatings. Acrylic conformal coatings accounted for over 40% shares in global revenues in 2015. Superior surface adhesion rate & moisture resistance exhibited by these coatings can fuel its demand over the next eight years. Silicone coatings are projected to display a CAGR below 6% in the forthcoming years. This segment is propelled by demand from manufacturing & industrial sectors.

End-users in the global conformal coating market are industrial, marine, consumer electronics, medical, automotive & transportation, aerospace & defense, and others. ‘Others’ includes military and telecommunications. Consumer electronics accounted for over 40% of overall market demand in 2015. Robust demand for computers, laptops, smartphones, and other household electronics is expected to positively impact the industry.

The automotive & transportation segment could expand at a CAGR above 4% during the forecast period. It uses conformal coatings to protect circuits from salt spray, brake fluid, and gasoline vapor in automobiles. They are also used extensively in passenger compartment systems and under the hood systems.

On the basis of regions, the global conformal coating market is divided into North America, South America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA). With a revenue share exceeding 55%, APAC led the worldwide industry in 2015. China is the most lucrative region in APAC because of low raw material & labor costs.  High disposable incomes and lifestyle changes in APAC could boost industries, such as consumer electronics, aerospace, and medical. Such a trend may support the global market growth in the years ahead.

Key competitors operating in the global Conformal Coating Market are H. B. Fuller, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, Dymax Corporation, and Chase Corporation. As a means to reduce transportation costs, most of these players procure raw materials directly from their local suppliers. Common market expansion strategies adopted by companies are product innovation and strategic business ventures. Dymax Corporation has launched a new conformal coating for PCBs and other electronic components. The product named ‘Multi-Cure 9-20557’ has been developed to stick on difficult-to-wet components made from silver or copper.
