Market Overview:
The global polycarbonate films for security document market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for security documents, such as ID cards, passports, and others. Polycarbonate films are used in these documents as they offer high resistance to various external factors such as weathering, fading, and others. In addition, these films also provide anti-fog and flame retardant properties which enhances the security of these documents. Some of the key players operating in this market include DuPont Teijin Films (U.S.
Product Definition:
A polycarbonate film is a type of plastic that is used to create security documents. These documents are difficult to counterfeit because the film has a number of features that make it difficult to replicate. Polycarbonate films are also resistant to tearing and tampering, making them ideal for use in passports, driver's licenses, and other identification documents.
Flame Retardant Polycarbonate Film:
Flame retardant polycarbonate film is a type of polyester resin film that contains flame retardants. Polycarbonate films are widely used for manufacturing security documents such as driver's licenses, passports, national IDs cards and banknotes. Security features on these documents include holograms and micro-printing which makes them difficult to counterfeit.
The global Flame Retardant Polycarbonate (FRPC) Films market size was valued at USD 23 million in 2015.
Weatherable Polycarbonate Film:
The weatherable polycarbonate film is a type of polyester film that can be processed like other thermoplastic films. However, this film has an added characteristic that allows it to be used as an ingredient in the production of security documents such as banknotes and cheques. The unique property exhibited by this product is its ability to return to its original shape after being bent or rolled up, which makes it suitable for use in making banknotes and cheque covers.
Application Insights:
ID cards application segment led the market and accounted for more than 45.0% share of the global revenue in 2017. The high share is attributable to growing demand for secure documents, such as identity cards, driver licenses and passports from various industries including government, healthcare, banking & financial services among others.
The use of these films in security documents offers benefits such as durability against physical damage & wear & tear along with resistance against temperature changes between 0°C and 50°C which makes it suitable for outdoor applications. Furthermore, polycarbonate films are used to manufacture laminated glass security papers which are widely utilized across all major markets worldwide owing to their features such as optical clarity laminate with enhanced impact strength and abrasion resistance compared to single-layer paper products that they are made from along with a reduction in overall thickness when compared next to glass alone or other laminates made from paper or plastic materials.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the dominant regional market in 2017 and is anticipated to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounted for a share of more than 35% of global revenue in 2017, which can be attributed to rising demand from developing countries such as China and India. In addition, increasing government initiatives for use of plastic security documents are expected to drive industry growth over the next eight years.
The North American market is projected to grow at a significant rate owing to growing concerns regarding data theft and fraud-preventing measures taken by various governments across U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for security documents from banking and financial sector
- Rising awareness about the benefits of using polycarbonate films for security documents among government and private organizations
- Growing demand for tamper-proof and anti-counterfeit security documents
- Technological advancements in the field of polycarbonate films production that offers better quality products at competitive prices
- Proliferation of organized crime syndicates across the globe that are involved in counterfeiting activities
