Market Overview:
The global polymer cladded fibers market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for polymer cladded fibers in various applications such as illumination, photodynamic therapy, sensors, and others. Additionally, the growing demand for optical fiber cables from telecommunication and data communication industries is also propelling the growth of this market. However, high installation cost may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period. On basis of type, hard polymer clad fibers are expected to dominate the global polymer cladded fibers market during 2018-2030 owing to their superior properties such as low attenuation loss and resistance against environmental factors.
Product Definition:
A polymer cladded fiber is a fiber that has been coated in a polymer. This coating can help to improve the optical properties of the fiber, such as its transmission bandwidth and attenuation. Polymer cladding can also help to protect the fiber from damage.
Hard Polymer Clad Fibers:
Hard polymer-clad fibers are a special type of fiber that is made by wrapping an inner core polyester or aramid fiber around a soft polymer coating. The process is used to make composite materials, which have superior properties as compared to those of the individual components.
The product was developed at North Carolina State University in the U.S.
Others:
Others are the other polymers or fillers used in polymer-cladded fibers. They can be categorized as synthetic and natural based on their origin. The synthetic ones include nylon, polyester, and rayon while the natural ones consist of wool, silk, hair etc. Polymer cladding is done by layering one material over another to form an intermediate protective coating which is then dried to form a layer of polymer with fiber filling between them.
Application Insights:
The illumination application segment led the global market and accounted for more than 35.0% share of the overall revenue in 2017. Polymer cladded fibers are widely used in fiber-based light sources, such as desk lamps, workbenches, and others. The growing demand for energy-efficient lighting solutions is expected to drive the product demand over the forecast period.
Polymer cladding provides a protective layer to LEDs that prevents damage caused by impact or fallback; this feature is likely to increase product penetration in various applications including traffic signals and streetlights. Moreover, increasing focus on reducing carbon footprint coupled with rising awareness regarding environment protection is anticipated to propel industry growth over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rising demand for illumination, sensors, drug delivery and others applications. Illumination application led the regional market followed by sensors application owing to high demand from end-use industries such as automotive, healthcare & medical industry.
The growing population in Asia Pacific has led to an increase in consumer electronics products such as LED lighting systems, smartphones and laptops among others which will drive product demand further over the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for lightweight and high-strength materials in automotive and aerospace industries
- Growing popularity of polymer cladded fibers in medical applications owing to their biocompatibility and non-toxicity
- Rising demand for advanced composites with enhanced thermal insulation properties
- Proliferation of nanotechnology that has led to the development of novel polymer cladding fibers with improved mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties
- Growing investments by key players in research and development activities to develop new applications for polymer cladded fibers
