Global Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF) for LCD Display Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF) for LCD Display market size is predicted to grow from US$ 371 million in 2025 to US$ 513 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2025 to 2031.

ACF is the initialism for “Anisotropic Conductive Film” or “Anisotropic Conductive Adhesive Film.” It is made of resins, such as thermoset epoxy resin, in which conductive particles are dispersed. ACF fixed by thermocompression bonding can achieve conductivity vertically, or in the direction of compression, and insulation quality horizontally, or in the perpendicular direction to compression, and because of its anisotropic nature, the material is referred to as “Anisotropic Conductive Film.”



ACF is found in almost all devices with a flat panel display, including smartphones, tablets, PCs, and televisions. The film is used to electrically connect the electrodes of the glass substrates of LCDs or OLED displays and the electrodes of IC chips or flexible substrate circuits, and also physically fixes them.



ACF is about 10-45μm thick and 0.4-20mm wide. To connect the electrodes of the devices described above, ACF is placed between the electrodes and thermocompression is applied. Through this process, conductive particles are compressed, touch one another, and form a conductive path between the upper and lower electrodes. Meanwhile, some particles remain uncompressed and dispersed in the resin, maintaining the electrodes’ insulation quality in a horizontal direction. As the resin hardens in this state, the electrodes also become physically joined, fixed, and sealed.



Compared with bonding by solder or connector parts, the use of ACF in connecting electrodes (hereinafter, “ACF connection”) can make the combined area smaller, thinner, flatter, and the pitches narrower. Other notable merits include the simultaneous connection of multiple electrodes. ACF also works at low temperatures between roughly 100 and 240 degrees Celsius and in a short time of 4 to 60 seconds.

Market Drivers:



Display Technology Advancements: Ongoing advancements in display technologies, such as the development of flexible displays and high-resolution screens, create a growing demand for ACF as a reliable interconnection solution.



Miniaturization of Electronics: The trend toward smaller and thinner electronic devices, including smartphones, tablets, and wearable gadgets, requires compact and efficient ACF solutions for display assembly.



Higher Integration Density: ACF enables the high-density integration of microelectronics components and display elements, which is critical for achieving high-quality images and features in modern displays.



Flexible Display Growth: The increasing adoption of flexible displays, especially in smartphones and wearable devices, relies on ACF to maintain electrical connections while allowing flexibility and bending.



Consumer Electronics Demand: The demand for consumer electronics, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and TVs, continues to drive the market for displays and, consequently, ACF.



Market Restrictions:



Technical Challenges: ACF application requires precise alignment and processing techniques, and any deviation can result in defective displays, adding complexity to the manufacturing process.



Quality Control: Ensuring consistent quality and performance of ACF materials is crucial, as any defects or inconsistencies can lead to display failures.



Competition from Alternative Technologies: Emerging technologies, such as direct bonding or non-adhesive interconnection methods, may pose competition to ACF in some applications.



Product Lifecycle Shortening: Rapid technological advancements and short product lifecycles in the consumer electronics industry can affect ACF suppliers and manufacturers, as they need to adapt to changing requirements quickly.



Market Concentration: The ACF market may be dominated by a few major manufacturers, limiting options and competition for display manufacturers.
