Product Definition:
A polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) is a mixture of a liquid crystal and a polymer. The two components are usually dispersed in an organic solvent. When an electric field is applied, the liquid crystals orient themselves in one direction and the polymers align themselves in another, leading to light scattering. PDLCs are used for displays, windows, and smart glass applications.
5 ml:
5 ml is the smallest volume in ml that can be used for manufacturing any type of polymer dispersed liquid crystal. It is also known as 5% solution or 0.05 M solution and it contains approximately 5% by weight of a liquid crystals mixture (LCM) consisting of one or more types of molecules to create an ordered three-dimensional microstructure with unique optical properties when exposed to light.
10 ml:
10 ml is the largest commercially available quantity of PDLCs. It can be used to produce large format touch display panels, which are widely used in commercial applications such as advertisement billboards and interactive displays. The product also finds application in various other fields including medical & healthcare, research laboratories, and cosmetics industry among others.
Application Insights:
The daily use segment held the largest market share in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The dispersions are used as a vehicle for delivering drugs, vitamins, medicines and other liquids that cannot be absorbed by oral administration. They are also used in cosmetic formulations such as creams & lotions, gels & pastes and eye drops among others.
Polymerâ€dispersed liquid crystals have applications across various industries including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals among others. In cosmetics application segment is expected to witness significant growth owing to rising consumer awareness regarding healthy skin coupled with an increase in demand for anti aging products which uses this technology as a vehicle for delivering active ingredients that help improve wrinkles thereby making it more attractive to consumers of all ages groups globally.
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 disposable income, increasing healthcare spending, and growing awareness about cosmetic surgeries. China is one of the major countries contributing towards regional growth owing to low manufacturing cost and availability of skilled labor force.
Europe was estimated as second largest regional market in 2017 due to high demand for advanced technologies used during medical procedures such as surgery, dental treatment, & dermatology treatment etc. Latin America also contributed significantly towards industry expansion on account of rapid economic development coupled with increased disposable income especially in Brazil & Mexico which are some emerging economies within this region will boost industry expansion further over the forecast period.
North America held a significant share within global PDLCs market mainly due to presence various multinational companies involved in R&D activities related polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for smart windows in the automotive and construction industries
- Growing popularity of PDLC films as privacy screens
- Rising demand for energy-efficient and eco-friendly materials
- Proliferation of digital signage and other display applications
- Technological advancements that improve the performance of PDLCs
