Global Dry Film Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Dry Film Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Dry film is a polyester film coated with a polymer which is sensitive to ultraviolet light (Photoresist).

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Dry Film market finds that the global Dry Film market reached a value of USD 1248.17 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 2042.87 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.56% during the forecast period.

The dry film is mainly used for the circuit processing of printed circuit boards in the electronic information industry. During the manufacturing process, the dry film attached to the copper clad laminate undergoes a polymerization reaction after being irradiated by ultraviolet rays, forming a stable substance attached to the copper plate, thereby It can achieve functions such as blocking electroplating, etching and masking, and realize the pattern transfer of PCB and FPC design lines.

The electronic information industry is an important driving force for social and economic development in today's world. Many countries in the world regard the electronic information industry as a strategic, basic and leading pillar industry of the national economy. The steady growth of the electronic information industry provides a good market environment for the rapid development of the PCB industry. PCB downstream applications cover communications, computers, aerospace, industrial control medical, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, etc. Among them, communication, computer and consumer electronics are the three mainstream application fields of PCB. Thanks to the vigorous development of mobile Internet terminal products and the wide application of automotive electronics, the PCB demand in the field of communication and automotive electronics has become the fastest growing field of PCB applications. The gradual implementation of 5G commercialization has brought about the upgrading needs of communication networks, systems and terminal equipment. At the same time, the integrated application scenarios of 5G and medical, automotive, electric power and other industries will promote the network and intelligent upgrade of traditional equipment and equipment, and form new development.

For example, the increase in the degree of automotive electronics has led to an increase in PCB demand, and the PCB consumption of new energy vehicles is 5-8 times that of traditional vehicles. At the same time, it has become a trend to replace wiring harnesses with FPC (flexible circuit boards) for vehicles, and the application of FPC in automobiles will gradually increase in the future.

For example, in the context of the intergenerational change of communications and the rapid growth of data traffic, high-speed, large-capacity, and high-performance servers will continue to develop, creating a large demand for PCB products. Data traffic will continue to show a high growth trend, and global server equipment and services will continue to maintain high demand. As an important material for servers, PCB is expected to maintain rapid growth in the future and has very broad development prospects.

Therefore, the development of downstream industries has brought a lot of market demand to the dry film market, which is expected to drive the development of the dry film industry.
