Report Description
The global barrier films flexible electronics market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 28% during the forecast period, 2021 – 2028. The growth of the market is attributed to advancement of devices in flexible form, which enables efficient performance and offers lightweight, robust nature, and versatility to the device.
Flexible barrier films are a flexible substrate, which prevents or encapsulates electronic components from degradation caused due to water and oxygen. Film capsulation is a method, in which barrier film is produced on polymer substrate and is coated onto the electronic device by pressure sensitive glue. Hybrid encapsulation ensures barrier film application and in-line deposition by using pressure sensitive glue.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities:
- Electronic displays are chemically subtle and have high chances of reacting with the environment, which enables encapsulation of devices to protect them from moisture, oxygen, and chemicals. This in turn, drives the market.
- Barrier films secure the device efficiently as compared to metal, plastic, and glass, which is projected to boost the market demand.
- Growth of the market is attributed to barrier films that offer encapsulation to printed and organic devices without affecting their performance, printability, and functionality.
- Increasing demand for printed and organic electronics devices is expected to drive the market.
- Rising demand for flexible electronic displays for smart phones is anticipated to propel the demand for the product in the market.
- Several operators have been opting for barrier films to improve the quality of devices and increase their life.
- High costs of the product are expected to hamper the market growth.
