The conformal coatings market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of conformal coatings has experienced robust growth in the past few years. It is projected to grow from $14.44 billion in 2024 to $15.51 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%.
Factors contributing to this growth during the historical period can be linked to the rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs), an enhanced requirement for conformal coatings in medical equipment, and increased demand in the aerospace sector.
The conformal coatings market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for conformal coatings is projected to witness robust growth in the forthcoming years. It is anticipated to reach $21.74 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%.
The expansion during the forecast period can be ascribed to governmental backing, a rise in the global populace along with urbanization, as well as heightened investments in 5g technology and telecommunications infrastructure. A pivotal trend during the forecast period will be the continued governmental support, worldwide population growth and urbanization, as well as augmented investments in 5G technology and telecommunications infrastructure.
The conformal coatings market is set to grow, driven by the increased demand within the consumer electronics industry. Included in this industry are electronic products such as personal computers, smartphones, and televisions. Conformal coatings play a crucial role in consumer electronics, protecting them against toxins, chemicals, and harsh external conditions found in workplaces and homes. As an example, ClearSale, a company based in the US, has forecasted that the revenue from the consumer electronics sector will surpass $450 billion by 2024. As a result, the surge in conformal coatings demand from the consumer electronics industry will likely facilitate the expansion of the conformal coatings market.

Conformal coatings industry firms are honing their market position by pioneering the creation of novel UV-curable conformal coatings. These coatings excel at safeguarding printed circuit boards (PCBs) and various other electronic components by forming a protective barrier against environmental impacts like moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. For example, Dow, a chemical company based in the US, introduced the DOWSIL CC-8000 Series UV and Dual Moisture Cure Conformal Coatings in July 2024. These are solventless silicone coatings, engineered to defend electronic components in sectors such as renewable energy, e-motors, power tools, and domestic appliances. These coatings are quickly cured by UV/LED light, with a secondary cure for shadowed areas, facilitating swift production and curtailed energy expenses relative to heat-cured materials.
