Impact of COVID-19 on the Graphic Film Market

The global graphic film market experienced a substantial impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. The disruptions caused by the virus, including lockdowns, supply chain challenges, and shifts in consumer behavior, significantly influenced the dynamics of this market. Supply chain disruptions led to difficulties in production and distribution, affecting manufacturers and suppliers. Industries heavily reliant on graphic films, such as automotive and construction, saw decreased demand due to economic uncertainties and project delays. Additionally, changes in consumer behavior, with an increased focus on online activities, influenced the demand for specific types of graphic films. Overall, the pandemic created a challenging environment for the graphic film market, necessitating adaptability and resilience among industry players.

By End User, the Automotive Segment is projected to be the Largest Segment in the Graphic Film Market

The Automotive segment is projected to be the largest segment in the Graphic Film market during the forecast period. Within the automotive sector, graphic film applications encompass vehicle wraps, cut graphics, and cut deals. Vehicle wraps, in contrast to cut vinyl, consist of expansive sheets of self-adhesive vinyl lacking a predefined shape. These wraps are designed to cover entire panels of the vehicle. The widespread adoption of graphic films or wraps in vehicles is driven from their utility for both protective and promotional purposes, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of vehicles while providing a layer of safeguarding.
  • According to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America, vehicle wraps incur a cost of USD 0.15 per thousand impressions (CPM), making them a significantly more cost-effective advertising option compared to billboards at USD 1.78 per CPM, radios at USD 5.92 per CPM, and prime TV spots at USD 20.54 per CPM. This lower cost of advertisement serves as a key driver for the growing adoption of vehicle wraps, particularly within the automotive sector.
