The main driving factors of the barrier film market for electronic products include:
1. Technological breakthroughs: material innovation and performance leap
Core material research and development
Polymer materials: Polyester (PET), polyimide (PI) and other substrates use nano-modification technology to improve barrier performance and mechanical strength. For example, the temperature resistance of PI film is above 400°C, which is suitable for flexible displays and high temperature environments.
Nanocomposite materials: Nanoparticles such as aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) and silicon oxide (SiO₂) are compounded with polymers to form a dense barrier layer, and the barrier performance is improved by 3-5 times.
Bio-based materials: Degradable materials such as PLA and PHA gradually replace traditional plastics to meet environmental protection needs.
Manufacturing process upgrade
Precision coating technology: Slit coating, micro-gravure coating and other processes achieve nano-level film thickness control, improve uniformity and production efficiency.
Multi-layer co-extrusion technology: Through multi-layer structure compounding, integrated barrier, conductivity, heat dissipation and other functions, such as the "barrier layer + conductive layer + substrate" sandwich structure.
Atomic layer deposition (ALD): Deposit inorganic oxides at the molecular level to form an ultra-thin (<10nm) dense barrier layer with a water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) as low as 10⁻⁶g/(m²·day).
Functional integration
Electromagnetic shielding: Through conductive nanoparticles or metal grids, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding efficiency of 5G band can reach more than 60dB.
Heat dissipation management: The composite of thermal conductive materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes increases the thermal conductivity to 500W/(m·K) to meet the heat dissipation requirements of high-power equipment.
Self-repair function: The microcapsule encapsulates the repair agent and automatically releases it when the film layer is damaged to extend the service life.
2. Market demand: Diversification of application scenarios
High-end consumer electronics
Folding screen mobile phones: CPI (transparent polyimide) film replaces traditional glass, achieving 180° bending without damage, and the thickness is reduced to less than 30μm.
OLED display: Water and oxygen barrier film prevents organic materials from oxidizing and extends the life of the panel.
Wearable devices: Flexible sensors and battery packaging require thin and breathable barrier films, which drives the growth of PI film demand.
Explosive growth of new energy vehicles
Power battery packaging: Aluminum-plastic film blocks water vapor and electrolyte to prevent battery bulging. Global demand is expected to reach 800 million square meters in 2025.
In-vehicle display: Touch screens and HUD (head-up display) require high-temperature resistant and UV-resistant barrier films, with a single vehicle value of more than 100 yuan.
Autonomous driving sensors: LiDAR and camera lenses require anti-fog and anti-dust films to improve recognition accuracy in bad weather.
Expansion of emerging fields
Quantum dot display: Quantum dot films require high-barrier packaging to prevent quantum dot oxidation. The market size is expected to reach 3 billion yuan in 2025.
Flexible electronics: Electronic skin and wearable medical devices require biocompatible barrier films to promote the application of PI films in the medical field.
Aerospace: Lightweight and radiation-resistant barrier films are used in satellite solar panels to reduce cosmic ray damage.
3. Policy support: domestic substitution and standard improvement
Top-level design promotion
The country has included the new materials industry in the "14th Five-Year Plan" and supported the development of barrier films through tax incentives, R&D subsidies and other measures. For example, a 10% VAT reduction is given to high-end materials such as PI films."Made in China 2025" clearly requires breakthroughs in high-end barrier film technology, and the self-sufficiency rate will be increased to more than 70% in 2025.
Accelerated localization process
Policy-driven and technological breakthroughs promote the improvement of the domestic barrier film industry chain. For example, Ruihuatai has broken through the mass production technology of PI film, breaking the monopoly of international giants such as DuPont.
Industry standards and specifications
International standards (such as IEC 62805 and ASTM F3287-18) regulate production processes and quality control, and domestic group standards (such as T/CAS 386-2019) emphasize production cleanliness and process stability to ensure product consistency.
4. Industry chain collaboration: upstream and downstream linkage and ecological construction
Upstream and downstream technology collaboration
Barrier film companies cooperate with CMOS sensor and SoC chip manufacturers to develop composite films with integrated barrier and sensing functions to improve equipment integration.
The combination of front-end and back-end chips (such as IPCSoC and NVRSoC) provides end-to-end intelligent solutions to reduce transmission and storage costs.
Ecological cooperation and competition
Major manufacturers enhance their competitiveness through technological innovation and product upgrades. For example, Japan's Toray and South Korea's SKC dominate the field of high-end barrier films, and domestic companies such as Changyang Technology and Yuxing Shares have gradually risen through differentiated competition.
Cross-border cooperation (such as joint research and development between barrier film companies and companies in the electronics, automotive, medical and other industries) accelerates the implementation of technology, such as the adaptation of Baidu Paddle and Cambrian MLU to promote the application of AI in barrier film detection.
5. Environmental protection and sustainable development
Promotion of environmental protection regulations
EU RoHS, REACH and other regulations restrict the use of hazardous substances and promote barrier film companies to adopt halogen-free and heavy metal-free materials.
Under China's "dual carbon" goal, barrier film companies need to optimize production processes and reduce energy consumption and waste emissions.
Sustainable development concept
Bio-based barrier films (such as PLA) gradually replace traditional petroleum-based materials to reduce carbon footprint.
Promotion of circular economy models, such as barrier film recycling and reuse technology, to reduce resource waste.
The growth of the barrier film market for electronic products is the result of technological breakthroughs, demand upgrades, policy support and synergistic resonance of the industrial chain. In the future, with the in-depth development of materials science, the expansion of application scenarios and the acceleration of domestic substitution, the barrier film market will usher in a broader development space. Enterprises need to continue to pay attention to technological innovation, changes in market demand and policy guidance to consolidate their competitive advantages and respond to potential challenges.
