The growing number of innovations and R&D programs across
the polymer space have had a profound impact on liquid
crystal polymer (LCP) market size. Pertaining
to the inert and highly water-resistant characteristics of LCP, this polymer is
being prominently used for encapsulation of electronics components, electronics
packaging, and as a base material for neural prosthetic devices on large scale,
which has led to LCP industry size being pegged at USD 375 million in 2016.
Taking into account its numerous benefits, leading electronics equipment
manufacturers are investing heavily in research and development activities to
enhance the performance of electronic devices.
For instance, the U.S. based smartphone manufacturer, Apple
has upgraded its iPhone models with liquid crystal antennas, that would help
improve the transmission speed of LTE data. Ongoing developments in the
electronics & media industry such as the aforementioned are certain to push
liquid crystal polymer industry share over the years ahead. Moreover, LCP is
one of the 3D quantum liquid crystals, which has been touted to transform the
future of computers, owing to its high speed, compatibility with a
micro-fabrication process, and flexibility. In addition to this, nowadays, LCP
has become one of the primary components in aerospace and automotive
applications, where high heat deflection is required, pertaining to its
properties such as lower coefficient of thermal expansion, abrasion resistance,
and high mechanical strength, which would further drive LCP industry size.
LCP’s numerous benefits stand to be one of the main driving
forces of liquid crystal polymer market. On these grounds, several research
institutes are taking initiatives to improve the applicability of material for
space applications. Recently, the Earth Science Technology Office of NASA
provided funding to numerous researchers from the Georgia Institute of
Technology to evaluate LCP material electronics applications in space – a
research project that would have considerable impact on liquid crystal polymer
industry share. LCP can be incorporated in several electronics circuits, as it
is ultra-thin (like plastic), can even be molded in any shape, and performs
well in critical temperatures and intense radiation.
One of the senior research engineers at Glenn Research Center
of NASA has added that on the grounds of its properties, LCP has replaced other
conventional materials for manufacturing circuit boards and antennas in
high-frequency applications. The growing popularity of flexible liquid crystal
polymer antennas will thus have a significant impact on LCP market outlook over
the years ahead.
Since
the last few years, computer hardware manufacturers are continuously investing
in LCP production to develop products that would prove useful in numerous
end-use domains. Noctua, the Austria based computer cooling equipment
manufacturer, has recently announced its next-gen 120 mm, A-series fan at the
Computex 2017 – these impellers are manufactured from LCP and call for lesser
fan vibration, little fan creep, and strict tolerances. Introducing impellers
of LCP material may lead to the generation of numerous opportunities for LCP
industry giants, owing to the material’s high stiffness, rigidity, and tensile
strength, and the fact that impellers are widely used in myriad applications.
Speaking
about the future scope of LCP, it would be prudent to mention that recently, a
groundbreaking research had been unearthed in LCP market. Certain research
communities detected that an artificial iris developed from light crystal
polymer has the capability to respond similar to the human eye. Unquestionably,
this discovery would generate new opportunities for the biggies in liquid
crystal polymer (LCP) market, enabling them to penetrate the field of
ophthalmology. Further on, discoveries such as the above have even been
forecast to propel liquid crystal polymer (LCP) industry size, which according
to Global Market Insights, Inc., will surpass a revenue collection of USD 650
million by the end of 2024.
