Antistatic Films Market: Global Market Estimation, Dynamics, and Regional Share

Posted by Kishor on May 13th, 2019

The global market for anti-static films was valued at US$ 580.7 Mn in 2017. The global anti-static films market is forecast to expand at a CAGR of 5.9%.

Anti-static films are typically coated with tropical antistatic agents. New technologies are constantly adopted in the automotive industry to enhance functionalities. This factor is driving the anti-static films market in the forecast period. Electronic circuitry gets progressively smaller as electronic technology advances. As the size of the components reduces, the spacing of the microscopic insulators and circuits within them also reduces and their sensitivity to electric static discharge (ESD) increases. To protect such components, a packaging solution like anti-static films is required.

Traditionally, pharmaceutical and automotive industries prefer rigid packaging products. These are rapidly being replaced by flexible packaging products like pouches, bags, and sacks made of plastics such as anti-static films. The rising preference for flexible packaging, particularly for high-performance applications, is expected to generate new market opportunities for anti-static films. Anti-static films have distinctive colors such as pink, black, grey or silver depending upon their properties or the anti-static additives added.

The anti-static films market has been segmented on the basis of the region into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), and Middle East & Africa (MEA).  The anti-static films market in the APAC region is expected to dominate the global anti-static films market. APAC is expected to grow a CAGR of 7.2 % in the overall anti-static films market.
