The COVID-19 crisis had hampered the performance of multiple market economies of several countries, compelling them to call for lockdowns and temporary closures of industries, including manufacturing and services, in the second quarter of 2020.
The COVID-19 has mainly affected the production and supply chain of the electronics, automobile, aerospace, and other industries by creating shortages of components, materials, and finished products due to the complete shutdown of economies coupled with cross-border trade restrictions.
Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
Technological finesse in material engineering has enabled a wide range of items to be coated that include a wide mass of consumer electronic products. Furthermore, conformal coatings have risen abreast with emerging technologies, and with new equipment and processes in place, it adds growth to the market.
Different types of resin materials are commonly used to formulate the product. Silicone-based products have been making a mark in the industry with the rapid pace of market developments. The products have a lower environmental footprint and provide superior reliability. Silicon-based coatings are costlier than expected but will slide down to the price of common conformal coatings with advancements in material technology.
The global conformal coating manufacturing industry is highly competitive owing to a large pool of esteemed manufacturers and suppliers and new market entrants. Manufacturers invest and bring about numerous R&D activities with custom formulations for every end-use market. For instance, AkzoNobel NV announced an R&D directive that concerned protective and electronics coatings in 2017 for their felling facility in the UK.
