What Factors Are Driving Growth In The Polyimide Films and Tapes Market?
An increase in the need for electronics is having a profound effect on the progression of the polyimide films and tapes market. Electronics, essentially devices or circuits that use a range of components including microchips and transistors to carry out multiple functions, are constantly advocating the extensive use of polyimide films and tapes. These films and tapes are insulating materials predominantly utilized in electrical engineering and electronics for their resistance to high temperature. For instance, according to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, a company based in the UK that offers professional services, projected an expansion in the rate of smartphones, computers and TV sets of 3-4% for 2022. On the other hand, they anticipate a decline of more than 15% in the average selling prices of smartphones, which may lead to a decrease in overall dollar value. As a result, the growing need for electronics fuels the expansion of the polyimide film and tape market.
