Market Overview:
The global polycarbonate film market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for polycarbonate films from various applications, such as menu boards, labels & nameplates, membrane switches & control panels, packaging and others (back-lit signs and panels, graphic overlays). In addition, the growing demand for flame retardant and weatherable polycarbonate films is also contributing to the growth of this market. However, volatility in raw material prices may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period. On basis of type, optical polycarbonate film accounted for a major share of the global polycarbonate film market in 2017. This type is mainly used in signage applications owing to its high transparency and gloss levels. Flame retardant polycarbonate film is another key type that is expected to witness high growth during the forecast period due to its ability to resist fire without releasing toxic gases or fumes into environment.
Product Definition:
Polycarbonate is a strong, lightweight plastic used in a variety of applications, including eyeglasses, CDs and DVDs, and car headlights. It is also used to make bulletproof glass. Polycarbonate film is a thin sheet of polycarbonate that can be stretched or bent to fit curved surfaces.
Optical:
Optical fibers are flexible transparent fiber optic cables made up of high-quality glass, plastic or silica that is used for lighting and transmission of light. They are available in various forms such as single-mode, multi-mode, core/coreless and long length. Optical fibers help transmit data at a faster speed over longer distances with less power consumption which makes them very popular among telecom operators across the globe.
Flame Retardant:
Flame retardants are additives that prevent the spread of fire. They can be classified as organic and inorganic. Inorganic flame retardants include boron, phosphorus, and aluminum; whereas organic flame retardants include phenol derivatives (bisphenol A), quinoneimine, antimony oxide, halogenated organosulfur compounds (HOS), and metal oxides (such as titanium dioxide).
Application Insights:
Packaging was the largest application segment in 2016, accounting for over 40% of the overall revenue share. The product is widely used in corrugated packaging and palletizing as well as transportation packaging applications. Polycarbonate films are also increasingly being utilized to manufacture menu boards and labels & nameplates for use on restaurants, hotels, food chains and other retail outlets. These products offer an attractive display while protecting food items from contamination by cooking oils or bacteria that may have fallen into the cracks between the layers of a box or container.
The anti-fog application segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to its rising demand from various end-use industries including pharmaceuticals, electronics assembly and solar panels manufacturing among others. Anti-fog coatings made with polycarbonate help prevent fogging during cold storage warehouse temperatures below 15°C (59°F).
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest regional market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounted for a share of more than 35% of global revenue in 2017 owing to high product demand from end-use industries, such as electrical & electronics, automotive, packaging and construction. China is projected to remain a key consumer due to rising per capita income coupled with increasing purchasing power.
The growth of end-use industries in emerging economies has resulted in increased production volumes across all regions; however, Asia Pacific witnessed significant growth at a CAGR exceeding 6% from 2018 to 2030 owing herringbone pattern polycarbonate film market volume between 2016 and 2022 by country (China being one).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as automotive, construction, and electronics
- Rising awareness about the benefits of polycarbonate films over traditional materials
- Technological advancements in production processes that result in improved quality and performance of polycarbonate films
- Growing investments by leading players to expand their manufacturing capacities
- Rising demand from emerging markets
