概述
全球無色聚醯亞胺薄膜市場於2023年達到1.10億美元,預計2031年將達到61.02億美元,2024-2031年預測期間複合年成長率為65.2%。
近年來的一個主要趨勢是開發具有可客製化熱膨脹率的無色聚醯亞胺薄膜。中國北京理化技術研究所的科學家於2024年1月發表了一篇研究論文,詳細介紹了熱膨脹係數可調的無色聚醯亞胺薄膜的開發。
同樣,2024 年 2 月,韓國延世大學的研究人員展示了一種透明、疏水、無色的聚醯亞胺薄膜的製作方法,其中嵌入了二氧化矽顆粒,以提高耐用性。隨著透明顯示器的想法越來越受歡迎,這樣的發明可能對未來幾年的市場成長至關重要。
動力學
軟性電子顯示器的不斷發展
消費性電子公司正逐漸轉向電視的主動矩陣 LED (AMOLED) 顯示器。一些高階筆記型電腦還提供 AMOLED 顯示器作為額外選項。 AMOLED 顯示器能夠關閉單一像素,這意味著它們在投射較暗顏色時比普通 LED 顯示器更節能。
AMOLED 螢幕的使用還可以實現更纖薄的外形和曲面顯示器。 2023 年 9 月,LG 發布了一款適用於筆記型電腦和電視的新型 17 吋可折疊 AMOLED 顯示器面板,QHD+ 解析度為 2560 X 1920。 此顯示器採用 SK IE Technology 的無色聚醯亞胺薄膜。
下一代醫療設備的開發
除了消費性電子產品和太陽能電池之外,無色聚醯亞胺薄膜在新型醫療設備的開發上也具有廣闊的應用前景。由於其靈活性,這些薄膜正在被研究用於製造醫用管材。目前,許多公司正在致力於開發不含PVC的管材。
此外,目前正在進行開發穿戴式生物貼片的研究,該生物貼片可以遠端監測患者的生命徵象。 2023 年 11 月,杜邦宣布與義法半導體簽署合作協議,開發此貼片的首批原型機。隨著新型醫療器材研發的加速,將提高對無色聚醯亞胺薄膜的需求。
難以實現產品一致性
大規模生產這些聚醯亞胺薄膜面臨的挑戰是在熱穩定性和光學透明度之間取得平衡。傳統的製造方法對於無色聚醯亞胺薄膜並不是特別有利。因此,需要相對更昂貴的替代生產方法。
OLED協會表示,目前無色聚醯亞胺薄膜的成本比傳統聚醯亞胺薄膜貴近2至5倍。除了生產過程外,採購困難也是成本高的重要組成部分。隨著越來越多的消費性電子產品採用 OLED 技術作為顯示面板,供應限制的嚴重性只會越來越嚴重。
Overview
Global Colorless Polyimide Films Market reached US$ 110.0 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 6,102.0 million by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 65.2% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
A major trend in recent years has been the development of colorless polyimide films with customizable rates of thermal expansion. Scientists at the Beijing Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry in China published a research paper in January 2024 detailing the development of a colorless polyimide film with a tunable coefficient of thermal expansion.
Similarly in February 2024, researchers at the Yonsei University in South Korea demonstrated the creation of a transparent, hydrophobic and colorless polyimide film with imbedded silica particles for durability. With the idea of transparent display screens gaining traction, such an invention could prove critical for market growth in the coming years.
Dynamics
Increasing Development of Flexible Electronic Displays
Consumer electronic companies are gradually shifting towards active matrix LED (AMOLED) displays for televisions. Some premium laptops also offer AMOLED display as an extra option. AMOLED displays have the ability to turn off individual pixels, which means they are much more energy efficient than regular LED displays when projecting darker colors.
The usage of AMOLED screens also allows for a more slimmer form factor and a curved display. In September 2023, LG released a new 17-inch foldable AMOLED display panel for laptops and TVs, with a QHD+ resolution of 2560 X 1920. The display uses colorless polyimide films from SK IE Technology.
Development of Next Generation of Medical Equipment
Apart from consumer electronics and solar cells, colorless polyimide films have promising application in the development of new medical devices. Due to its flexibility, the films are being investigated for the manufacturing of medical tubing. Currently, a lot of companies are engaged in developing PVC-free tubing materials.
Furthermore, research is also currently ongoing into developing wearable biopatches which can remotely monitor patient vital signs. In November 2023, DuPont announced that it had signed a partnership agreement with STMicroelectronics to develop some of the first prototypes of the patch. As the R&D of new medical devices accelerates, it will raise the demand for colorless polyimide films.
Difficulty in Achieving Product Consistency
The challenge with the mass production of these polyimide films is striking a balance between thermal stability and optical transparency. The traditional methods of fabrication are not especially conducive for colorless polyimide films. Therefore, it requires alternative production methods which are relatively more expensive.
The OLED Association states that the current cost of colorless polyimide films is nearly 2 to 5 times more expensive than conventional polyimide films. Apart from the production process, procurement difficulties are a major component of the high cost. With more and more consumer electronics utilizing OLED technology for display panels, the severity of supply constraints will only grow.
The global colorless polyimide films market is segmented based on material, application, end-user and region.
Electronics Sector Will Continue to Retain the Largest Demand
As AMOLED and OLED display technology becomes more commonplace in smartphones, laptops and TVs, the consumer electronics sector will continue to witness a steady growth in demand. The next big application of these films is in mass commercialized foldable displays. Some companies like Samsung and Huawei have introduced ultra-premium smartphones with foldable displays. However, in the next 5 to 7 years, foldable displays are likely to become commonplace.
Solar cells is another end-user that will witness an upsurge in demand over the coming decade, especially as governments increase investments in renewable energy production. Polyimide films will be used for improving the operational efficiency of new solar cells.
Expansion of Electronics Manufacturing Will Propel Market Growth in Asia-Pacific
The production of colorless polyimide films has taken off in Asia-Pacific, as the region is the most important production hub for consumer electronics. Demand dynamics are shifting in the region, with outsourcing of a lot of production from China to countries like India, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. Over the coming years, we could see a much more diversification in demand sources.
A factor that gives Asia-Pacific the edge over other regions in this particular market is the fact that colorless polyimide films are mostly manufactured by South Korean, Chinese and Japanese companies. A steady source of regional demand in the form of consumer electronics and solar cell manufacturing, along with a large production capacity ensures that Asia-Pacific will continue to remain the largest market for colorless polyimide films.
The pandemic created tough market conditions for the colorless polyimide films industry. Many producers had to temporarily halt operations as sourcing materials became difficult due to global shipping disruptions. Furthermore, R&D spending was also heavily curtailed, which delayed the entry of new and advanced colorless polyimide films into the market.
Even in the aftermath of the pandemic, many players struggled to get back to normal. However, with a noticeable global shift towards renewable energy, the demand for colorless polyimide films is once again swinging upwards, especially in solar cell production. Consumer electronics demand is also increased majorly in the post pandemic period.
Even before the outbreak of war in Ukraine, Russia's colorless polyimide films sector was struggling. The local electronics industry was heavily dependent using outdated production technology and was heavily reliant on military orders to survive. The war simply made things worse for the Russian high-tech industry.
Western countries imposed trade embargoes on Russia, effectively cutting it off from western polyimide film suppliers and depriving it of advanced production technology. Although the sanctioning of Russia did lead to disruption in the supply of pre-cursor chemicals for polyimide film production, it only lasted a short while until Asian suppliers stepped in to fill the gap. The Russian market will takes years to recover from the effects of western sanctions.
The major global players in the market include DuPont, Kaneka Corporation, Kolon Industries, Inc., SK innovation Co., Ltd., Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd., Wuhan Yimaide New Materials Technology Co., Ltd, NeXolve, Wuxi Shunxuan New Materials Co., Ltd, Suzhou Kinyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. and I.S.T Corporation.
The global colorless polyimide films market report would provide approximately 62 tables, 56 figures and 196 Pages.
