[197 Pages report] MarketsandMarkets forecasts the Polyimide Films market to grow from USD 1.4 billion in 2018 to USD 2.6 billion by 2023, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.5% during the forecast period. Increased demand from the electronics industry, the growing automotive industry, and superior thermal & mechanical properties of polyimide films in comparison to other polymers are the key factors driving the growth of this market.

Polyimide Films Market

Flexible printed circuits is the largest application segment of the polyimide films market

By application, the flexible printed circuits segment accounted for the largest share of the polyimide films market in 2017. This large share is mainly attributed to the excellent properties of polyimide films that make them a preferred material in various end-use industries, such as electronics and automotive.

Electronics is the largest end-use industry segment of the polyimide films market

By end-use industry, the electronics segment accounted for the largest share of the polyimide films market in 2017. Polyimide films have good mechanical and electrical properties in comparison to other thermoplastic films and are, hence, widely used in several applications in the electronics industry. For instance, polyimide films are used as a base material for ﬂexible printed wiring assembly, due to their excellent mechanical and thermal stability and low dielectric constant.

Polyimide Films Market

Asia Pacific is projected to lead the polyimide films market during the forecast period

By region, Asia Pacific is anticipated to lead the polyimide films market during the forecast period. The market growth in this region is mainly attributed to rising disposable incomes and growing demand for consumer electronics products. The Asia Pacific market is also expected to witness the highest CAGR from 2018 to 2023 owing to the high demand for polyimide films from countries such as China, Japan, India, and South Korea.

Polyimide Films Market

Market Dynamics

Drivers: Increased demand from the electronics industry

Factors such as rapid industrialization, economic development, rising disposable income, and growing digitalization have resulted in an increase in electronic consumerism. Electronics is the largest and fastest-growing end-use industry segment of the polyimide films market. The segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.6% and 14.6%, in terms of volume and value respectively, from 2018 to 2023.The electronics industry is witnessing significant growth mainly due to the technical innovations in this sector. 3D TVs, smart TVs, smartphones, and tablets are some of the products witnessing high growth in this sector. Consumers prefer electronic products that are small, light, and thin. Hence, there is a high demand for materials that are lightweight, durable, and reliable. Thermal stability along with superior mechanical and electrical properties has resulted in a strong demand for polyimide films in the electronics industry. For instance, in a laptop, the cable that connects the main logic board to the display (which must flex every time the laptop is opened or closed) is often a polyimide base with a copper conductor. The demand for polyimide films in this industry is mainly attributed to their high-temperature properties, low dielectric constants, inertness to solvents, and long-term stability.

Restraint: High cost of polyimide films

Polyimide films possess unique features in comparison to other polymer films. They are durable, can withstand very high temperatures, and can be reused. However, polyimide films are costly. For instance, the thicker the polyimide film, the higher is the cost of the product. The manufacturing of polyimide films also requires a high level of technological know-how and special machines.

During the manufacturing process of polyimide films, the chemical imidization excludes a counter depolymerization reaction, which allows the polyimides to obtain higher and more stable mechanical properties. However, due to the use of additional reagents, the final product is also more expensive.

Opportunity: Preference for transparent polyimide films

Conventional polymer films such as PET possess excellent optical transparency. However, these films face challenges in advanced optoelectronic engineering mainly due to their limited service temperature. Hence, currently, transparent polyimide films are preferred over conventional polymers. The high thermal & chemical resistance, high mechanical properties, and excellent dielectric features of transparent polyimide films have increased their demand across end-use industries for various applications, such as flexible displays, flexible printing circuit boards, and flexible solar cells.

Challenge: Issues with the processing of polyimide films

Polyimides are a class of high-performance polymer materials defined by the imide functional group. Their key properties of thermal stability and chemical resistance arise from the structure of the polyimide backbone, while their mechanical strength is a consequence of the imide structure.

The high level of technical competency involved in the processing of polyimide films is the major challenge for the market. Their strong resistance to heat and chemical can also lead to processing difficulties, such as the lack of solubility, which leads to other materials commonly being integrated into the polymer matrix.

Some of the key issues in the processing of polyimide films are:

High non-uniformity
High stress due to which the thickness of the films is reduced to about 50-60% of the deposited values
Poor adhesion
