COVID-19 Impact on E-glue Market Growth
COVID-19 pandemic affected the global economy in many terms, such as directly affecting production and demand, supply chain disruption, and financial impact. COVID-19 has directly impacted the manufacturers' supply chain across the globe and shut down production facilities to minimize the risk of virus spread. Therefore, the manufacturers are started investing to increase their production capabilities to meet the global market's updated demand. Despite the pandemic, there is growth in the overall electronic industry, which is expected to drive the e-glue's market size in the global market during the forecast period.
E-glue Market Segmentation Analysis
Based on the type, the e-glue market has been classified into acrylics, epoxies, polyurethanes, silicones, and others.
The acrylics segment accounted for a dominant market share in the global market
The acrylic segment is projected to be the largest and fastest-growing resin type segment of the global-glue market. Acrylic polymer emulsions are environment-friendly adhesives and provide an adequate balance among the shear, tack, and peel strength of the bond. These are generally free of solvents and are not explosive and non-toxic. The increasingly stringent regulatory framework for environment-friendly norms is expected to augment market growth.
Based on the application, the e-glue market has been classified into the printed circuit board, semiconductor & ic, and others.
The printed Circuit Board segment dominated the global e-glue market in 2019
The global market is majorly driven by the rising demand for adhesives from printed circuit boards (PCBs). A printed circuit board (PCB) is the primary electronic product, which electrically connects the electronic components using conductive tracks drawn over it according to the requirement. Increasing demand for consumer electronics is driving the demand for e-glue for various applications such as wire tracking, potting & encapsulation of components, conformal coatings of circuit boards, and bonding of surface mount components. Moreover, a rapid increase in demand for computers, laptops, smartphones, household appliances, industrial & power equipment, control & navigation systems, and aerospace monitoring & testing equipment is driving the demand for adhesive products in a significant volume. The Multiple layer circuit boards are laminated by the non-conductive substrate to insulate the conductive layers (generally made of copper). The electronic components i.e. resistor, capacitor, insulator, etc. are fixed on a PCB to carry out the special task by soldering in a sequence that results in the manufacturing of chips also requiring e-glue. The advancement in technology and introduction of PCB has helped electronics equipment manufacturers to reduce size and manufacturing costs by switching from vacuum tubes & relays to integrated circuits & silicon. Growing demand for these products is likely to benefit the electrical & electronics adhesives market over the forecast period.
