A conformal coating is a thin polymeric layer used to protect printed circuit board (PCB) from corrosion, dust, chemicals and extreme environments. It conforms to the surface of PCB through brushing, spraying, dipping, and vapor deposition and helps design miniaturized electronics and circuits by allowing larger voltage gradients and closer track spacing. In addition, it extends the working life of PCB by preventing the damage from rough handling and mechanical and thermal stress. As a result, it finds applications in televisions, music players, video recorders, cameras, gaming consoles, remote cars, smartphones, computers, laptops, printers, faxes, and wearable devices worldwide.

Conformal Coatings Market Trends:

The growing utilization of conformal coatings in the aerospace industry for protecting space shuttle, aircraft communication, passive detection and satellite systems represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, there is a rise in the usage of PCBs in the automotive sector to withstand high temperatures, moisture, and chemicals. This, along with the expanding application of automatic driver assistance systems (ADAS) in premium cars, is bolstering the growth of the market. In addition, increasing employment of conformal coatings in the healthcare industry to protect medical devices and equipment from thermal shocks and short circuits is positively influencing the market. Besides this, 5G networks require PCBs to prevent lost signals and delayed transmissions. This, in turn, is stimulating the market growth of conformal coatings. Additionally, the escalating demand for water-resistant electronic devices across the globe is contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, key market players are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to develop cost-effective and ultra-thin coatings required in nanotechnologies, which is projected to propel the growth of the market.
