Market Overview:
The global polymer dispersed liquid crystal film market is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for electrical & electronics, consumer goods, lighting, medical and other applications. In terms of type, the scattering PDLC film segment is expected to hold a major share of the market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its superior optical performance and low manufacturing cost as compared to nano-PDLC films. In terms of region, North America is expected to hold a major share of the global polymer dispersed liquid crystal film market during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
A polymer dispersed liquid crystal film (PDLC film) is a type of plastic film that has been loaded with tiny droplets of liquid crystal. When an electrical current is applied to the PDLC film, the liquid crystal droplets align themselves in a uniform manner, and the resulting transparency can be controlled by adjusting the amount of current.
The importance of PDLC films is that they can be used to create switchable windows and doorways. When no current is applied, the PDLC film blocks most light from passing through it. However, when a current is applied, the liquid crystals line up in such a way that allows light to pass through unimpeded.
Scattering PDLC Film:
Scattering PDLC film is a type of polymer dispersion liquid crystal film that utilizes a polymeric material as the major component for its fabrication. The polymeric material used can be either thermoplastic or thermoset, but Scattering PDLC films are primarily made from thermoplastic materials such as Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).
Nano-PDLC Film:
Nano-Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal Film (nano-PDLC film) is a new generation technology for manufacturing high performance liquid crystal displays. It has overcome the drawbacks of traditional polymer dispersed liquid crystal films such as low mechanical strength and limited viewing angle characteristics. nano-PDLC film offers higher optical clarity, uniformity, and reliability than conventional PDLC films resulting in improved performance and quality of display.
Application Insights:
Electrical & electronics was the largest application segment in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growing electronics industry across developing countries such as China, India, and Brazil is anticipated to propel demand for PLLA films over the forecast period.
The medical application segment is also expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period on account of rising product adoption in various medical applications including wound dressing, catheters & cannulae, surgical drapes and masks among others. In addition, increasing R&D activities by major players are further anticipated to drive market growth during the study period.
Other key applications include consumer goods.
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 from countries such as China, India, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Increasing disposable income coupled with growing population has resulted in high product demand across Asia Pacific.
The consumer goods industry is also anticipated to witness considerable growth owing to increasing investments by major multinational companies such as LG Electronics Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Sony Corporation and Philips66 Limited in developing countries such as China and India for manufacturing low-cost products that are competitively priced against each other within their respective industries thereby driving regional market growth over the forecast period.
North America emerged as a prominent regional market for dispersed liquid crystal films due to early adoption of polymer technologies along with presence of key players operating at a domestic level which caters these products primarily used across lighting applications at large scale particularly within U.S.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for PDLC films in the architectural and interior design industry as a result of their transparency, aesthetics, and privacy features.
- Growing demand for PDLC films from the automotive industry for sunroofs, windows, and mirrors.
- Increasing use of PDLC films in smart glass applications such as electronic displays and signage.
- Rising demand from the medical sector for privacy-enhancing window treatments in hospitals and clinics.
