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 (R&D) 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.
