The impact of COVID-19 has been severe, with the release coating market estimated to decline by 15.4% in 2020 in terms of value. All the end-user applications in the release coating market except for hygiene and medical is estimated to register negative growth due to factors such as lockdown, supply chain disruption, and decline in consumer spending affecting end-use industries such as packaging, electrical & electronics, logistics, hygiene & personal care, consumer goods, and retail. The panic buying of hygiene products during the start of the CVID-19 pandemic and the increased demand for medical attention pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to keep the growth of hygiene and medical application positive.
The increasing environmental regulations are restraining the growth of silicone release coating in North America and the European region, while lenient regulatory standards in the APAC drives the silicone release coating to grow faster than other regions. The strict regulatory standards are driving the non-silicone release coating to register the fastest growth in the material segment during the forecast period.
Increasing penetration of hygiene products such as baby diapers, sanitary napkins, and adult incontinence products in the developing countries and increased consumption of premium hygiene products in the developed countries is expected to drive the global release coating market during the forecast period. The growing awareness, increasing consumer spending, and growth of e-commerce are the factors that are driving the hygiene application in the release coating market.
Better healthcare facilities are leading toward an increase in life expectancy. More than 75% of costs in healthcare facilities is from people suffering from chronic diseases, which in turn helps the growth of the medical device and equipment market. Various medical applications benefit from release coating, ranging from analytical and surgical instruments to sterilization equipment and packaging of pharmaceutical products. The release coating is particularly useful with implantable instruments such as orthopedic and respiratory devices due to their low friction qualities and ease of insertion. In the future, the growing demand for medical devices and equipment, and tools will drive the release coating market as the demand for healthcare facilities rise.
The aging population worldwide is driving the use of disposable medical devices and transdermal patches for therapeutics and pharmaceuticals. The rise in per-capita income in developing countries increases the expenditure on healthcare facilities. As the income level increases, people tend to choose better healthcare facilities. The growth in the medical industry will lead to the growth of the release coating market
Control release polymers (CRPs) are widely used in release coating for the tapes and label industries to increase the release force needed to remove a label or transfer the adhesive from a release liner during delamination. These tight-release liners are used with removable labels where premature delamination is a concern and with transfer adhesives where there must be a release differential between the two liners of the laminate construction. Tight release control depends upon various factors such as adhesive formulations, adhesive thickness, laminate storage conditions, liner handling, and incomplete cure. Any of these factors could contribute to a significant difference in release control. In the absence of suitable release control as per different substrates, release coating could become soft and break easily, thus affecting the very purpose of non-sticking. However, many big manufacturers are coming up with advanced technologies that can help in delivering good controlled release across a wider range of substrates while supporting increasing line speeds and volumes, maintaining superior quality, and thus reducing systems costs.
Among different materials, silicones are preferred as they can be applied and cured into a PDMS network on various backing substrates, thereby limiting migration problems. They also offer substantially lower release forces than other materials.
The silicone polymer may be selected on the basis of specific release capabilities and other desired properties depending upon the end applications. The preferred silicone polymers are the PDMS polymers, although the organomodified polymers may be used. Coatings made from PDMS offer excellent anchorage to many different substrates and are compatible with a wide variety of adhesives. Furthermore, PDMS based release coating can be cured quickly, and they are easy to adjust. It enhances the processing, release performance, and cost-effectiveness of the substrate on which coating is applied.
Other materials such as fluorocarbons, carbamates, polyacrylates, and polyolefins can also be used by the manufacturers while producing release coating, as they provide a cure temperature of 210˚F and efficient performance to various applications such as tapes, labels, and packaging. However, due to the inexpensive nature and other superior properties of PDMS based release coating, many big manufacturers are focusing on PDMS based release coating
Challenges: The development of cost-effective products under stringent environmental regulations is a challenge
Increasingly stringent environmental regulations governing the use of release coating have compelled manufacturers to develop products with low VOCs, high solid content, and less harmful biocides. REACH, Green Seal, SED, and BPD are stringent environmental regulations to cut down the usage of VOCs and HAPs. This has resulted in technical difficulties in the use of solvent-borne coatings. These regulations also make the industries shift to eco-friendly coatings. However, the challenge exists in the development of new products that conform to these strict regulations and also make it efficient for the industries economically.
Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing market for release coating. This high growth is associated with the increasing penetration of hygiene products in the APAC countries. China is projected to be the largest market for release coating in APAC, followed by Japan. India, South Korea, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Malaysia are other major countries contributing to the growth of the release coating market in the region. The growing pharmaceutical, retail, consumer goods, cosmetics, and household segments in the region drive the packaging industry, and with it, the label application grows, which holds the largest share in the APAC release coating market.
The semiconductor industry in the region is anticipated to pick growth with the increasing adoption of disruptive technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and 5G during the forecast period. This growth drives the demands of tapes application in the release coating market. Countries such as Taiwan, China, Japan, and South Korea are the front runners in this upcoming development.
The packaging industry in developing economies such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and other South East Asian countries is expected to grow in double digits during the forecast period. The fast-growing packaging industry drives the label application of the release coating market in the region, with the application holding a major share in the market.
