Conformal coatings are used to protect printed circuit boards and electronic components from contamination caused by dirt, dust, moisture, chemicals and other environmental hazards. Conformal coatings are applied to electronic components during circuit board assembly to safeguard sensitive components from ambient conditions in their working environment. They help prevent corrosion and electrical malfunction, enabling superior circuit life.

The global Conformal Coatings Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1.1 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.3%  over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Dynamics:

The conformal coatings market is witnessing significant growth owing to increasing adoption in electronics industry. One of the primary drivers for growth of conformal coatings market is growing usage of electronics devices across automotive, consumer electronics and industrial applications which require protection from harsh environmental conditions. Conformal coatings helps manufacturers to design circuit boards for such applications by protecting them from moisture, dust, chemicals and other contaminants. Moreover, miniaturization trend in electronics is another factor augmenting market growth as smaller components are more susceptible to failures caused by environmental factors. Continuous innovations in conformal coatings chemistry to meet evolving performance requirements of electronics manufacturers will further support market expansion over forecast period.

SWOT Analysis
Strength: Conformal coatings offer protection from external factors such as moisture, chemicals, and pollution for printed circuit boards and other electronic components. They provide a thin uniform coating and create a protective barrier without obscuring component identification or interfering with the performance. Conformal coatings help improve product reliability.
Weakness: Application of conformal coatings involves complex process and requires special equipment for spraying or dipping. It also increases the overall production cost. Different conformal coating materials have different properties so selecting the right material for application is important.
Opportunity: Growing electronics industry specially in Asia Pacific due to increasing electronic devices demand creates new opportunities. Advent of new technologies like 5G, IoT and automation in various industries will drive the demand. Miniaturization trend in electronics requires effective protection without bulk, conformal coatings are suitable.
Threats: Availability of alternative protection methods like potting and encapsulation poses threat. Strict environmental regulations around the globe regarding use of solvents is a challenge.
