Product Definition:
A LOCA is an adhesive that is optically clear, meaning that it does not affect the light passing through it. This makes it ideal for use in optical devices and other applications where clarity is important.
Acrylics:
Acrylics are polymers with an amorphous molecular structure. They can be classified as thermoplastic or thermosetting depending on their processing temperature. The most commonly used acrylic is methyl methacrylate (MMA), which has a high degree of purity and is usually produced in the form of a liquid crystal polymer (LCP).
Polyvinyl acetate:
Polyvinyl acetate is a synthetic polymer with the formula (CH2)nCO2H. It has an odor similar to vinegar and is soluble in water, ethanol, and diethyl ether. Polyvinyl acetate is also used as an adhesives for glass or plastic surfaces.
Application Insights:
The monitor segment led the global LOCA market and accounted for more than 30.0% share of the total revenue in 2017. The growing demand for large screen monitors owing to increasing use in gaming and professional applications is expected to drive product demand over the forecast period.
Mobile phones are another major application segment where LOCAs are used extensively as they offer high strength adhesion properties without affecting phone appearance or performance. Polyurethanes, Silicones, Epoxies and acrylics are some of the products used for this purpose globally due to their low cost, easy availability and good performance characteristics required by mobile manufacturers across various price segments on a global level.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region with a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing demand for consumer electronics in this region. In addition, rising disposable income coupled with expanding population in developing countries such as India and China are anticipated to fuel the product demand over the forecast period.
The growing number of manufacturing facilities in Asia Pacific is also likely to benefit market growth over the next eight years as these facilities require high volumes of packaging materials such as labels and lids that can be printed using clear adhesive products. The availability of low-cost raw material coupled with huge production capacity makes it economical for manufacturers located outside Asia Pacific too invest in this market due to its low cost compared other regions, which will further boost industry growth over coming years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for smart and flexible displays
- Rising demand from the medical and healthcare sector
- Growing popularity of wearable devices
- Proliferation of 3D printing technology
- Rising demand from the automotive industry
