Vehicle Electronics Segment is Expected to Grow at the Fastest CAGR During the Forecast Period
The vehicle electronics segment is expected to grow fastest during the forecast period. Many electrical parts of cars, including touchscreens, airbag controllers, anti-theft systems, audio systems, ignition timing systems, and more, employ copper-clad laminates. The demand for sophisticated automotive and transportation safety and driver assistance systems, such as emergency braking and collision avoidance, blind spot identification, lane departure warning, and others, is expected to increase throughout the forecast period.
For instance, in December 2022, according to the Taiwan Printed Circuit Association, the third quarter of 2022 saw the highest-ever output for Taiwan-based PCB manufacturers, which totaled 8.2 billion USD. The main source of this demand came from high-end smartphones, servers, and automotive components.
In 2022, the communication systems segment held the highest market share globally. Printing circuit boards (PCBs) for electronic devices frequently employ copper-clad laminates in their making. They are utilized in communication systems like radios and cellular networks due to their superior electrical conductivity and robustness. A rise in demand for communication system applications is mostly due to the expansion of the computer, laptop, and drone industries.
Epoxy Resin Dominated the Global Market in 2022
The epoxy resin segment registered the largest market share in 2022. This is due to its strong electrical, mechanical, and bonding qualities. It also offers chemical resistance, which raises the need for its use in producing copper-clad laminates. Reduced cost of manufacturing process will promote market growth during the forecast period.
The Phenolic resin segment is expected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period owing to its high demand across developing nations. For instance, in May 2022, UBE Corporation shared its 1st stage management plan for its UBE Vision 2030 transformation. In that, the company intends to focus on a new business in semiconductor encapsulating material, for which it brought in-house a phenolic resin business that was a separate subsidiary. Phenolic resin is popular for PCB production since it is reasonably priced and simple.
Fiber Glass Segment Dominated the Market share in 2022
The fiberglass segment held the highest market share in 2022 and is expected to maintain its dominant position during the forecast period. The advantages of using fiberglass sheets include their great electrical qualities, strong moisture resistance, good heat resistance, high strength, and other advantages. Due to these advantages, they are frequently employed to create a variety of electrical goods that offer excellent energy-saving advantages.
The paper segment also held a substantial market share in 2022. This CCL is excellent for Printed Wiring Boards (PWB) in consumer electronics like TVs and AV equipment since it is lead-free. Additionally, phenol-formaldehyde-soaked paper CCLs are frequently employed. They are used in insulating electrical equipment and transformers because of their mechanical heat resistance and dielectric characteristics.
Flexible Segment is Expected to Grow at the Highest CAGR During the Forecast Period
Flexible CCL is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. These thin, flexible, and low-weight flexible copper-clad laminates are suitable for many electronic applications, including mobile phones, digital cameras, vehicle GPS, and laptops. For instance, in December 2022, Doosan Corporation started the construction of a flexible copper-clad laminates production plant in Gimje. This expansion is a measure to meet the ever-changing demand in the market.
The rigid CCL segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022 in the global market. Rigid CCLs come in various forms, such as metal substrates, build-up multilayer substrates, thermoplastic substrates, ceramic substrates, substrates with embedded capacitors, etc., making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including those in computers, communication systems, and household appliances.
