Conformal Coating Market Opportunities: Surge in demand for medical equipment due to COVID-19 outbreak

The Conformal coatings market is estimated to be USD 807 million in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 1,081 million by 2025 at CAGR of 6.0%. Conformal coatings are a type of protective coatings of 25-75µm thickness which are applied to printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other electronic components to protect them from harsh environments such as dust, solvents, moisture, humidity, and high temperature. Conformal coatings increase the operational performance of PCBs assemblies by maintaining long-term surface insulation.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in lockdowns in several countries, compelling the shutting down of several manufacturing facilities. While end-use industries such as automotive & transportation and consumer electronics have declined, the pandemic has resulted in a surge in demand for medical and food packaging. Owing to this increasing demand, medical device and their component manufacturers are operating at maximum capacities. Conformally coated PCBs are used in medical applications since they are effective in protecting electronic devices from erosion and external chemical attack. With healthcare facilities battling the COVID-19 crisis, demand for medical devices and equipment is high, and as a result, machinery to manufacture this equipment is also in high demand, thus creating opportunities for conformal coating manufacturers.

APAC is expected to be the largest market for conformal coating

APAC is the largest market of conformal coatings, and this dominance is expected to continue till 2025. China is the key market in the region, consuming more than half of the demand for conformal coatings, followed by Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan. These countries are expected to witness a steady increase in consumption from 2020 to 2025. The region contributes close to 90% of PCB production in the world, and market is mainly driven by the presence of a large number of leading global electronics companies. PCB industry is quite fragmented as there are more than 100 companies that constitute close to 90% of overall PCB revenues and most of them belong to APAC, more so in China & Taiwan. Recent years have seen a lot of PCB manufacturing shifts to APAC due to cost-effectiveness and closer access to customers in the region, hence the increase in consumption of conformal coatings.

The key companies in the conformal coatings are Henkel (Germany), Illinois Tool Work (US), Shin-Etsu Chemical (Japan), Dow (US), H.B. Fuller (US), Chase Corporation (US), Electrolube (UK), Dymax Corporation (US), MG Chemical (Canada) and Specialty Coating System (US).

Dow is one of the largest chemical manufacturing and distributing companies in the world. The DowDuPont company has been organized into three operating segments namely performance materials & coatings, industrial intermediates & infrastructure and packaging & specialty plastics. It offers conformal coatings under the performance materials & coatings segment. The company has an extensive global presence with 109 manufacturing plants in 31 countries across the Americas, APAC, Europe and Middle & Africa.

• In February 2020, Dow introduced DOWSIL CC-820 UV and Moisture Dual-Core Conformal Coating at the IPC APEX EXPO 2020. This is the first solvent less silicone conformal coating which has a moisture dual-core system for high throughputs. The new product promotes sustainability, health and safety.
• In September 2018, Shin-Etsu decided to invest USD 1 billion in the facility for silicone business. The expansion will increase the production capacity of various silicone fluids, resins, monomers, intermediates and rubber end products at the bases in Japan and globally.

Increasing demand from high-end applications requiring conformal coating

Conformal coating is highly preferred in PCBs, which are used in high-end applications in aerospace & defense and automotive industries. The aerospace & defense industry uses conformal coatings in space shuttle controls & systems, aircraft communications & controls, satellite systems, robotic cable assemblies, lightening protection chassis, and other similar technologies.

For the aerospace & defense industry, reliability on conformal coatings performance is the overriding issue. Conformal coatings in aerospace electronics must perform in extreme environments and hazardous situations. There is a difference in the electronics used in the aerospace & defense industry and the ones used in other industries. Electronics used in this industry are smaller in size that reduces the weight of the components and increases their functionality as well as performance. New technologies need to be thoroughly tested to check their reliability before they can be used in critical applications.

PCBs used in the aerospace & defense sector have the tolerance levels of ±0.0005 on etched features. Conformal coatings should also meet specific aerospace standards such as RTCA-DO-160 and MIL-STD-810 in order to get reliability tag from end users. These factors prove the increased operational parameters for electronic components in the aerospace & defense industry. The growth in this industry is likely to slow down due to the COVID-19 pandemic since air travel has been restricted around the world. Almost every airline has grounded a majority of its aircraft and is deferring orders for new ones as well. Aircraft manufacturing, too was halted due to complete lockdowns in countries of North America and Europe, which are the hubs of aircraft manufacturing.
