Plastic Dielectric Film Sales Surge

As Adoption of Innovative Capacitor Solutions Grows in IoT-Enabled Devices

According to a recent study, the plastic dielectric films market is expected to record an average CAGR of over 4% through 2029. Plastic dielectric films have sought extensive adoption in capacitors and integrated circuits of electronic gadgets in recent years. High pressure resistance, hazardous substance compliance, and low thermal resistance, are key attributes of plastic dielectric films driving their adoption in the consumer electronics.
Polypropylene plastic dielectric films are in high demand owing to their material specific properties such as high insulation strength, low dielectric absorption, low dissipation factor, and high breakdown strength. PP plastic dielectric films have gained traction as ideal solutions for multiple ranges of temperature.
Excellent properties of plastic dielectric films make them suitable for use in a wide range of applications in AC and DC systems, and high current DC applications. Sales of DC film capacitors are expected to grow at a robust CAGR, upheld by consumer demand for Audio & Video, along with the need for innovative capacitor solutions for IoT-based devices and handled devices.
European Market Poised for Modest Growth through the Next Decade
Consumers in Europe look for more diverse choices in terms of quality, price, and convenience. The electronics & electrical industry in developed countries such as France, Italy, Germany, and UK is matured, and is expected to witness moderate growth during the forecast period. The Europe plastic dielectric films market is expected to register a CAGR of 3.3% through 2029.
The demand for plastic dielectric films for DC film capacitor applications is expected to increase in Europe, and these are expected to account for a market share of 40% in the year 2019. The rapidly growing solar market is also expected to fuel the plastic dielectric films market. Developed countries such as Spain and Italy, have been putting in commercial wind power generation, to have more than 1 GW energy generation on an average. This will continue to create strong opportunities for growth of the plastic dielectric films market.
Asia’s Manufacturing Industry to Offer Highly Attractive Opportunities
