根据Stratistics MRC预测,2023年全球表面保护膜市场规模将达16亿美元,预计2030年将达27亿美元,预测期内复合年增长率为7.7%。

表面保护膜是一种薄的黏性聚合物薄膜,应用于表面以保护表面在处理、运输和安装过程中免受刮伤、污垢和损坏。通常是透明的,它可以保持玻璃、金属、塑胶和涂漆表面等表面的外观和完整性。它的设计易于去除且不留任何残留物,可保护汽车、电子、建筑和製造等多种行业的表面。

表面保护的需求不断成长

表面保护膜可以阻挡紫外线、湿气、化学物质和其他可能导致表面劣化或变色的环境因素。此外,电子商务和线上零售的兴起也推动了对錶面保护膜的需求。表面保护膜提供了可靠的解决方案,可在搬运、运输和交付过程中保护产品,从而显着推动了该市场的发展。

高成本

表面保护膜的製造通常涉及使用昂贵的原材料以及先进的製造流程和技术。对于某些最终用户来说,可能很难证明投资保护膜是合理的。当替代解决方案被认为更具成本效益或未充分传达使用胶片的好处时尤其如此。此外,原物料价格的波动可能会进一步加剧成本担忧,影响製造商的盈利和定价策略,从而阻碍市场扩张。

电子商务和零售成长

随着网路购物变得普及流行,人们越来越需要在包装、运输和交付过程中有效保护产品。由于电子商务的快速成长和零售业的不断扩张,表面保护膜的需求不断上升。企业和卖家越来越认识到投资可靠的包装解决方案对于提高客户满意度和减少产品退货的重要性。此外,随着电子商务和零售业的持续蓬勃发展,表面保护膜的需求预计将进一步成长,推动市场扩张。

认识有限

许多潜在用户,特别是在利基行业和地区,并不完全了解这些电影的好处或不知道它们的存在。这种意识低下可归因于多种因素,包括行销力度不佳、分销管道不足以及普遍不愿采用新技术和产品。此外,对应用程式的复杂性和删除难度的误解可能会进一步疏远潜在客户并阻碍该市场的成长。

COVID-19 的影响

COVID-19大流行对錶面保护膜市场产生了负面影响。随着企业缩减营运和计划,建筑、汽车等领域的表面保护膜需求减少,导致製造商的销售和收益减少。由于封锁和旅行限制,许多建设计划、维修和基础设施改善被推迟或推迟,减少了製造商的销售额和收益,扰乱了市场。

聚氨酯 (PU) 领域预计将在预测期内成为最大的领域

由于其优异的性能和广泛的应用,聚氨酯(PU)领域预计将占据最大份额。其弹性使其能够轻鬆应用于弯曲和不规则表面,而不会影响性能。此外,PU薄膜通常表现出优异的黏合性能,确保与基材的可靠黏合,剥离时不会留下任何残留物,从而推动了该领域的成长。

干黏合层压板产业预计在预测期内复合年增长率最高

由于其坚固耐用的保护层,干黏合层压板市场预计在预测期内将出现最高的复合年增长率。干黏合层压通常用于包装、电子和建筑等行业,在这些行业中,表面保护对于保持产品的完整性和美观至关重要。此外,它的多功能性和环保性消除了对含有挥发性有机化合物 ( 黏剂 ) 或需要额外固化步骤的黏剂的需求,推动了这一领域的扩展,我支持您。

比最大的地区

亚太地区在估计期间占据最大的市场占有率,因为它占全球汽车生产和销售的很大一部分。随着大型基础设施计划的进行,在施工、维修和维护活动期间保护玻璃、金属和地板材料等表面的需求越来越大。此外,亚洲国家的电子和半导体产业是表面保护膜的主要消费者,并正在推动该地区的扩张。

复合年增长率最高的地区:

由于各行业的强劲需求和消费者偏好,预计北美在预测期内的复合年增长率最高。北美的建筑业,特别是美国和加拿大的建筑业,在基础设施开发、住宅和商业计划上进行了大量投资。此外,电子商务和线上零售趋势在北美不断扩张,增加了对保护性包装解决方案的需求。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Surface Protection Film Market is accounted for $1.6 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $2.7 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period. Surface Protection Film is a thin, adhesive-backed polymer film applied to surfaces to shield them from scratches, dirt, and damage during handling, shipping, or installation. Typically, transparent, it preserves the appearance and integrity of surfaces such as glass, metal, plastic, and painted finishes. Designed to be easily removable without leaving residue, it safeguards surfaces in various industries including automotive, electronics, construction, and manufacturing.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand for surface protection

Surface protection films provide a barrier against UV radiation, moisture, chemicals, and other environmental factors that can cause deterioration or discoloration of surfaces. Moreover, the rise in e-commerce and online retail has contributed to the demand for surface protection films. Surface protection films offer a reliable solution to safeguard products during handling, transportation, and delivery, which significantly propels this market.

Restraint:

High cost

The production of surface protection films often involves expensive raw materials along with advanced manufacturing processes and technologies. Some end-users may find it difficult to justify investing in protective films, especially if they perceive alternative solutions to be more cost-effective or if the benefits of using the films are not adequately communicated. Moreover, fluctuations in raw material prices can further exacerbate cost concerns, impacting profitability and pricing strategies for manufacturers, which are hampering this market expansion.

Opportunity:

Growing E-commerce and retail

As online shopping gains popularity, there is an increasing need for effective protection of products during packaging, shipping, and delivery. With the rapid growth of e-commerce and the continuous expansion of the retail sector, the demand for surface protection films is on the rise. Companies and sellers are increasingly recognizing the importance of investing in reliable packaging solutions to enhance customer satisfaction and reduce product returns. Furthermore, as the e-commerce and retail sectors continue to thrive, the demand for surface protection films is expected to grow further, driving the expansion of the market.

Threat:

Limited awareness

Many potential users, particularly in niche industries or regions, may not fully understand the benefits of these films or be aware of their existence. This lack of awareness can stem from various factors, including insufficient marketing efforts, inadequate distribution channels, and a general reluctance to adopt new technologies or products. Additionally, misconceptions about application complexities or removal difficulties may further deter potential customers which are impeding this market growth.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the surface protection film market. With businesses scaling back operations and projects, there was reduced demand for surface protection films used in construction, automotive, and other sectors, leading to decreased sales and revenue for manufacturers. Many construction projects, renovations, and infrastructure developments were delayed or put on hold due to lockdowns and travel restrictions, which led to decreased sales and revenue for manufacturers and impeded the market.

The polyurethane (PU) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The polyurethane (PU) segment is estimated to hold the largest share due to its exceptional properties and versatile applications. Their flexibility enables easy application to curved or irregular surfaces without compromising performance. Additionally, PU films often exhibit excellent adhesion properties, ensuring a secure bond to the substrate without leaving residue upon removal, which is boosting this segment's growth.

The dry bond lamination segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The dry bond lamination segment is anticipated to have highest CAGR during the forecast period due to a strong and durable protective layer. They are commonly used in industries such as packaging, electronics, and construction, where surface protection is essential to preserve product integrity and aesthetics. Furthermore, its versatility and eco-friendly nature eliminate the need for adhesives that may contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or require additional curing processes, which is driving this segment's expansion.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific commanded the largest market share during the extrapolated period, owing to a substantial portion of global vehicle production and sales. With large-scale infrastructure projects underway, there is a growing need to protect surfaces such as glass, metal, and flooring during construction, renovation, and maintenance activities. Furthermore, the electronics and semiconductor industries in Asian countries are major consumers of surface protection films, which are driving this region's expansion.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is expected to witness highest CAGR over the projection period, owing to robust demand driven by various industries and consumer preferences. The construction sector in North America, particularly in the United States and Canada, witnesses significant investments in infrastructure development, residential, and commercial projects. Moreover, the growing trend of e-commerce and online retailing in North America amplifies the need for protective packaging solutions, thereby bolstering brand reputation in this region.
