The study involved four major activities in estimating the market size of the PCB encapsulation market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, the peer market, and the parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, the market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of the segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources have been referred to for identifying and collecting information for this study. These secondary sources include annual reports, press releases, investor presentations of companies, white papers, certified publications, trade directories, articles from recognized authors, the gold standard and silver standard websites, and databases.
Secondary research has been used to obtain key information about the value chain of the industry, the monetary chain of the market, the total pool of key players, market classification, and segmentation according to industry trends to the bottom-most level and regional markets. It was also used to obtain information about the key developments from a market-oriented perspective.
Primary Research
The PCB encapsulation market comprises several stakeholders in the value chain, which include PCB adhesives, PCB manufacturers and end users. Various primary sources from the supply and demand sides of the PCB encapsulation market have been interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information. The primary interviewees from the demand side include key opinion leaders in end-use sectors. The primary sources from the supply side include manufacturers, associations, and institutions involved in the Cranes rental industry.
Primary interviews were conducted to gather insights such as market statistics, data on revenue collected from the products and services, market breakdowns, market size estimations, market forecasting, and data triangulation. Primary research also helped in understanding the various trends related to resin type, application, product type, Curing type and region. Stakeholders from the demand side, such as CIOs, CTOs, and CSOs, were interviewed to understand the buyer’s perspective on the suppliers, products, fabricators, and their current usage of PCB adhesives and the outlook of their business, which will affect the overall market.
The breakdown of profiles of the primary interviewees is illustrated in the figure below:
Note: Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 companies are classified based on their market revenue in 2023, available in the public domain, product portfolios, and geographical presence.
Other designations include consultants and sales, marketing, and procurement managers.

Data Triangulation
After arriving at the total market size from the estimation process explained above, the overall market has been split into several segments and sub-segments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all the segments and sub-segments, the data triangulation and market breakdown procedures have been employed, wherever applicable. The data has been triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides. Along with this, the market size has been validated by using both the top-down and bottom-up approaches and primary interviews. Hence, for every data segment, there have been three sources—top-down approach, bottom-up approach, and expert interviews. The data was assumed correct when the values arrived from the three sources matched.
Market Definition
The PCB encapsulation market represents an array of adhesive solutions that are tailored to protect printed circuit boards from environmental and operational stresses, thereby ensuring the reliability and durability of the same. Segmentation can be done based on curing type, resin type, application, product type, and regional presence. Curing types include UV curing, heat curing, and room temperature curing. Each of these has a number of different advantages with respect to processing time and application methods. Basically, there are four main types of resin includes epoxy, silicone, polyurethane, and acrylic. Each resin gives unique properties of protection, which include chemical resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical strength. The application segments here are diversified, and the major sectors that drive demand for PCB encapsulation are consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, aerospace, and medical devices. Major product types in this market are conformal coatings and encapsulation compounds, and underfill materials—all of which have specific protective functions for different applications of PCBs. Geographically, the market has a strong presence across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and other regions. Of these, Asia-Pacific has a lead in the market due to its large-scale electronics manufacturing base. This increasing technological advancement and rise in demand for durable and high-performance electronic devices further drive the growth of the PCB encapsulation market on a global basis.
