The Global Clear Polyimide Film Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 1.8% from 2021 to 2028. North America is expected to dominate the global market and accounts for more than one-third share by 2022. The Asia Pacific region will be the fastest-growing regional segment during the forecast period, owing to rising demand from emerging economies such as India and China in this region.
Clear polyimide film is a polymer that has undergone processing to create an optically clear surface. It offers high optical clarity with low haze levels for use in many applications such as electronics production where they are used extensively for circuit boards and other substrates; solar panels which employ them as encapsulating films to protect cells from environmental contamination or rear-surface protective coatings on the front of device panel or modules; medical equipment where they offer high chemical resistance & mechanical strength; aviation applications for their high thermal stability and strength, excellent chemical resistance properties & low weight. It also finds use in space research as a substrate for manufacturing various optical components such as mirrors or lenses.
On the basis of Types, the market is segmented into Pizarro and Biphenyl.
Pizarro is a clear polyimide film that has high chemical and thermal stability, good dimensional stability in the range of -20°C to 150°C. It also features excellent optical properties such as transparency (transmission from 100% at 550 nm) and low haze. Pizarro films are typically used for applications where temperature-resistant materials with high gas permeability are needed.
A key advantage of Pizarro films is their ability to be processed by conventional thermoplastics processing equipment without any need for sealing or post-cure treatment which means they can be applied even onto food packaging surfaces. For other application types, it offers heat resistance up to 170°C depending on thickness and these properties make it a good candidate for high-temperature applications, such as those found in the aerospace industry.
Biphenyl is a compound of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and hydrogen that occurs naturally in coal tar. It is a colorless, water-insoluble liquid with an odor resembling camphor or rose oil. Biphenyl has been used as a precursor to detergents such as nitrobenzene (1879), phenolic compounds including bisphenol A and diphenylamine (1902) for textile printing dyeing; glycols, dyes bearing trichlorophenoxy groups (e.g., lindane 1951), monomers for polyurethanes, additives in plastics production, vulcanizing agents for rubber products, etc.; also biocides like mono propylene oxide (MPO) and its derivatives (1979).
Biphenyl is a monomer; an organic compound with two chemical functional groups. The word biphenyl means "two phenyls" because the molecule contains two benzene rings joined by a nitroso group, which consists of one nitrogen atom bonded to three oxygen atoms.
On the basis of Application, the market is segmented into electronics, solar, medical, aviation and space research.
Clear polyimide film is used in a variety of industries, including electronics. However, the most common use of this type of film is for capacitors (which are electrical components). Capacitors are made up of two layers - one layer usually consisting of aluminum foil and another layer which consists primarily or solely of clear polyimide film. The different layers form an electric field between them with the capacitor's ability to store energy depending upon how strong that electric field is.
In the solar industry, Clear Polyimide Film is used as a protective cover for photovoltaic panels. The film offers protection from dust and scratches to both the metal frame of the panel but also protects against UV rays that cause cells to degrade over time. In this way, it can be considered an anti-degradant layer in addition to its main function as a protective coat. It helps keep heat out and prevent dirt buildup on these vital components which are essential for generating power efficiently and cost-effectively without interruption or damage due to weather conditions such as rain or snow.
Clear polyimide film is used in the manufacturing of medical devices. They are often applied as an adhesive or coating to a device surface, and they can provide protection against moisture, chemicals, micro-organisms, solvents, and other sources of contamination that may cause deterioration on either side of the protective film. It has even been found useful for improving tissue viability due to its ability to prevent injury from vacuums during surgical procedures like endoscopy.
The aviation industry has seen the need for clear polyimide film to be used as a sealant in fuselage windows. The material is lightweight and resistant to heat, making it an attractive option when compared with other materials such as silicone or epoxy putty that are more than twice as heavy. Clear polyimide film can also provide protection from ultraviolet radiation which could damage photosensitive surfaces inside the cockpit without causing any visual distortion.
Space Research is a major application of Clear Polyimide Film. The primary tasks are scientific research and the development, testing, and evaluation of spacecraft systems. The use of polyimides in this field is generally for applications such as thin films used to insulate antennas from natural interference; thermal barriers or coatings on components exposed to the extreme heat that could be caused by solar radiation or cosmic rays; optical coatings designed to protect sensitive instruments against high-energy particles like ultraviolet light scattered from the sun’s corona during space weather events; barrier materials able restrict outgassing into vacuum environments without blocking ionizing radiation; among others.
On the basis of Region, the market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa.
North America dominates the clear polyimide film market followed by Europe owing to large consumption rates across these regions. Asia Pacific is projected to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period due to increasing demand for this product type from developing countries like India & China along with expansion plans undertaken by manufacturers operating out of the APAC region towards offshore production sites within this region.
- Increasing dependency on electronic devices by the end consumer.
- Growing adoption of polyimide film in emerging markets for its thermal & chemical resistance properties.
- Technological advancement and introduction of new products with various compositions leading to diversification of clear polyimide films market structure.
