INTRODUCTION

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

This report studies and highlights the role of conformal coatings in providing protection to electronic products, and explains the technology, development, production, and methods of application of these coatings, covers the equipment involved, and gives a market overview, analyzing major market trends both in terms of region and application sector. In addition, the report studies in detail new developments taking place in the conformal coatings industry with respect to continuous improvements in environmental performance.

Both the market for conformal coating products and the market for the technologies involved are analyzed, including various emerging technologies and new products produced using these technologies.

The various applications of conformal coatings and their markets are also analyzed, with a special emphasis on the new products being developed. Along with the development of new products, research and development (RandD) is taking coating technologies to new heights, and these developments are examined in this report as are the new applications emerging from these new emerging technologies.

Customers are driving the increased demand for conformal coatings and relevant coating equipment, with huge expectations in diverse areas such as performance, ease of application, sustainability, quality, functionality, and environmental properties. All of the above expectations require special attention from manufacturers in order to ensure that their products meet expected standards and the market remains buoyant. This report pinpoints the need for the industry’s commitment to continuous improvement in environmental performance and takes a glimpse at a future in which the functionality of conformal coatings will be enhanced and transformed from the conventional areas of protection and aesthetics to meet additional and more specific demands.

REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY

For any company to succeed in a competitive market, product opportunities must be identified from the viewpoint of the company’s strengths. For this, it is necessary to understand the size and growth rate of any opportunity and the competitive atmosphere in which the company exists. This report presents the ideal medium to understand the various exciting and growing opportunities in the field of various types of conformal coatings and coating equipment and will help any prospective manufacturer, distributor, or even a user to understand and succeed in this growing field.

CONTRIBUTION OF THE STUDY

This report is intended to help marketing managers identify newer market opportunities and develop targeted promotion plans for conformal coatings and equipment involved. It will also help RandD professionals stay on top of competitor initiatives and explore demand for conformal coatings and equipment and to develop new products and for newer applications. Business development executives will be better able to understand the dynamics of the market and identify possible new markets. Information and research center librarians will be better able to provide market researchers and brand and product managers with the information they need to do their jobs more effectively.

SCOPE AND FORMAT

The report has been prepared in a simple format that can be easily understood with a number of tables and charts/figures. The scope of the report includes a detailed study of global and regional markets for various types of conformal coatings and coating equipment with the reasons given for variations in the growth of the industry in certain regions.

INFORMATION SOURCES

Primary information sources for this market research include manufacturers and suppliers of conformal coatings around the world, raw material suppliers for manufacture of these products, major users of these products, research organizations, governmental agencies, trade associations, and various equipment suppliers. Additional secondary research sources include databases, trade literature, specialized journals, and government statistics. These resources have been researched while compiling this report.
