Market Overview:
The global polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) 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 PDLCs in commercial and residential applications. In terms of type, scattering PDLCs are expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. However, nano-PDLCs are projected to grow at a higher CAGR owing to their superior properties such as high transparency and low haze values. By application, commercial applications are expected to account for the majority of the share in terms of revenue during 2018-2030.

Product Definition:
A polymer is a large molecule composed of many repeated subunits. The importance of polymers lies in their versatility; they can be used to make everything from plastics and fibers to adhesives and pharmaceuticals.
Scattering PDLCs:
is it a new technology or an old one with a new name?and what is its scope of application in polymer industry?are there any other technologies like it and if so, what are their advantages over the Scattering PDLCs (SPDCs) then why choose SPDCLS over others.
Scattering PDLCs technology was first commercialized by DuPont in the year 2000 as “Liquid Crystal on Polymer”.
Nano-PDLCs:
Nano-PDLCs are the new generation of liquid crystals. They are smaller than a red blood cell and can be incorporated into polymers to create 3D structures with unique optical properties. These nanoparticles (NPs) can be used in various applications such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, electronics & photonics, energy storage devices and solar cells.
The technology has been around for more than two decades but was not applied on a large scale due to high production costs.
Application Insights:
The others application segment includes transportation, construction, and consumer goods. The residential sector is expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period owing to rising disposable income among consumers in developing countries such as China and India. This factor is anticipated to boost product demand from 2018 to 2030.
Increasing use of polymer-based materials in manufacturing building components such as window frames, door panels, skylights, roofing systems along with growing awareness regarding energy-efficient products are expected drive market growth over the forecast period.
Growing demand for low maintenance windows coupled with high thermal resistance of dispersed liquid crystal polymer films used for manufacturing glass units is projected to propel market growth over the coming years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The regional market is mainly driven by China, which accounted for a share of more than 30% in total polymer dispersed liquid crystal consumption. Rapid industrialization along with increasing investments in infrastructure development has led to an increase in product demand across various end-use industries such as automotive, building & construction, packaging among others.
The Asia Pacific region witnessed significant growth from 2018 to 2019 on account of growing product demand from major end-use industries such as electrical & electronics and automotive owing to technological advancements coupled with rising disposable income especially among the middle class population groups of China and India.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for smart windows in the automotive and construction industries
- Growing popularity of energy-efficient and eco-friendly building materials
- Rising demand for privacy and security glass products
- Proliferation of digital signage and other advanced display applications
- Technological advancements that improve the performance, efficiency, and durability of PDLCs
