Covina, Oct. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) are class of advanced polymers and are inert & unreactive that retains highly ordered molecular structure in solid and liquid phases. LCP has become an excellent candidate for fiber optic strength members, printed circuit boards and conductor reinforcement.
Growing demand for electronic and durable electrical products coupled with its high-quality in emerging economies is driving the growth of the global liquid crystal polymer (LCP) market. Further, the growth in demand for engineering resins to produce ultra-thin electrical components is projected to remain a key booster for the target market. Furthermore, the growing implementation of lightweight, high-performance materials in the automotive industry is expected to fuel the demand for Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) market growth.
Key Highlights:
- In March 2023, Solvay launched new polymer ‘Xydar LCP G-330 HH’ for high heat EV (electric vehicle) battery module insulation. The new high-heat and flame retardant ‘Xydar liquid crystal polymers’ portfolio are designed to meet critical safety standards in electric vehicle battery components.
Analyst View:
LCP is broadly used in the automotive industry owing to its low weight, high strength, and abrasion resistance features. LCPs can replace materials such as metals, ceramics, composites, and other plastics due to resistance to almost all weathering, radiation, chemicals, and fire which is likely to propel market growth.
Segmentation:
- By type- the target market is segmented into thermotropic and lyotropic
- By application- electrical and electronics estimated for the largest market share, by volume, in 2017, with an estimated volume of around 40277.92 kilo metric ton, occupying a share of 83.23%. The automotive application segment is expected to have the highest CAGR, of 5.28%, during the forecast period.
- By region- the market in the Asia Pacific is dominating in terms of volume as well as value. China is leading the global market owing to its extensive electronics and electrical industry. Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest expanding market throughout the forecast period due to the rise in the number of new manufacturing capabilities and an increase in investments in R&D.
