The growth of the circuit materials market can be attributed to their property of high conductivity which is increasing their demand in the electronics sector.
The circuit materials market has been segmented on the basis of material class, substrate, conducting material, outer layer, application, and region. Based on material class, the circuit materials market has been classified into substrate, conducting material, and outer layer. The fiberglass-epoxy is the most demanded substrate of circuit materials. The growth of the fiberglass-epoxy substrate segment can be attributed to the high focus of manufacturers on the products offering better properties such as high strength and high resistance to fire. This led fiberglass-epoxy substrate to account for a large share of the global circuit materials market.
Based on conducting material, the circuit materials market has been classified into copper and others. The copper segment is expected to lead the circuit materials market during the forecast period, in terms of value. The growth is attributed to the high conductivity and better adaptability of copper with various types of substrate materials.
Based on the outer layer, the circuit materials market has been segmented into liquid ink photoimageable solder mask, dry film photoimageable, and others. The liquid ink photoimageable solder mask segment is projected to lead the market during the forecast period, in terms of value. The growth of this segment can be attributed to its properties such as excellent corrosion resistance which increases the shelf life of electronic devices.
Communications is the largest application of circuit materials. The circuit materials are used in printed circuit boards of various communication devices such as mobile phones, smart tablets, and internet devices. Owing to the ability to provide enhanced conductivity on compact printed circuit boards, the use of circuit materials has increased in the communications application.
