Protective film Market Dynamics
Rising demand for protective films for growing automotive production and rising construction sectors drives the market growth
Protective films are widely used in the automotive and construction industry for a vital role in making the environment clean, safe and hygenic. As per the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the light commercial vehicle and passenger vehicle production reached around 24,637,665 units and 67,149,196 units around the globe.
The global protective film is further widely used in the construction industry in interiors for providing temporary protection against hard surfaces, synthetic carpets, walls, flooring and also protecting buildings against debris and damages. For instance, in 2019, the Government of Canada has planned to invest around US$ 36.5 million for supporting, developing and implementing the renovation of deep retrofits for existing buildings and new net-zero-energy-ready buildings facilitating the protective film coating and wrapping.
Rising demand for solar energy with the advent of renewable energy sources
Rising usage of renewable solar sources due to a surge in the global population with a boost in energy requirement with the surge in industrialization have propelled the demand has propelled the protective film market. The protective films are widely used in the manufacturing of solar panels, solar equipment as well as consumer electronics for protecting dirt, and other environmental impacts.
The rising adoption of renewable chemical materials in protective film and surge in the expansion of production capacity has created a huge opportunity for the market growth
Several leading industries are launching renewable and environmentally friendly products for the protection of buildings and construction may create a huge opportunity for the growth of this market. For instance 23rd October 2019, Garware Polyester expanded its product portfolio by launching paint protection films designed for delivering the highest level of protection. This innovative film offers self-healing paint with the highest level of impact resistance of protection films.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis on Protective film Market
The global protective film market has been declined during the COVID-19 pandemic, as several manufacturing industries were in the lockdown state in several countries. However, the demand has slightly increased in June 2020 as several countries began their protection of automobile and consumer electronics as protective film helps to protect these components from dirt and scratches.
Several leading players have cancelled and some postponed future deals, mergers, acquisition and partnership activities due to the downfall of demand which even lead to the bankruptcy of several stakeholders. According to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), commercial vehicles sales decreased by 88% in India and passenger vehicle sales declined by 51% in India in March 2020 which subsequently hampered the growth of the protective film market.
Protective film Market Segment Analysis
The global protective film market is segmented based on material, type, coating, thickness, texture, coating, application, end-user and region.
By material, the polyethylene segment accounted for the largest share of the global Protective film market in 2019
Based on material, the global protective film market is segmented into polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide (PA), polyurethane (PU), paper and others. Among these polyethylene has the highest market share in 2019, this is primarily due to stretch features in PE films.
According to the census government organization, polymer consumption is projected to reach 20 MMT by 2020 construction spending during August 2020 increasing at the rate of US$1,412.8 billion annually. It created a massive demand for PP as the protective film used in the construction industry.
Externally coated adhesive films are heavily used in automotive
By type, the adhesive coated segment accounted for the largest share of the global protective film market in 2019. Among these adhesive-coated has the highest share in 2020, this is primarily due to increasing demand for the adhesives with the surge in the industrializations, logistics and rising demand in the food processing industries, automotive and consumers electronics industries. Several leading players are launching newly developed innovative protective film with proper adhesive bonding and coating for increasing the life of the components.
For instance on 14th August 2020, the Company Ultrafit one of the leading automotive protection film manufacturer have developed the world's first non-delamination windshield for providing protection and to cater for the most inherent problem of the windshield. The film is then laminated with synthetic resin and adhesives to protect against cracking or falling off.
Aluminium coated films are gaining traction globally owing to the neat and shiny surfaces provided by aluminium coating
By coating, the protective film market is segmented into smooth and glossy surfaces, aluminium, chromium, metal pre-coated, matt and grained surfaces and others. Among these, aluminium coating accounted for the largest share of the protective film market in 2019, this is primarily due to the launching and development of new protective films for several applications in the automotive and construction industry.
