With the development of the national economy and progress in science and technology, new industries such as intelligent consumer electronics, the Internet, aerospace, energy saving and environmental protection, the Internet of Things, etc. are growing rapidly, thus driving the demand for a large number of emerging functional film materials applications. By organically combining a variety of different coating materials with base films, functional film materials achieve specific optical, electrical, weathering, processability, and other properties. They also have various functions such as protection, adhesiveness, electrical conductivity, and shielding, and are widely used in packaging materials, electronic appliances, new energy, medical and health care, aerospace, and other fields.
By country region.
China is the largest consumer market for functional film materials, with a total consumption of nearly 3 million tons in 2021, accounting for 54% of global consumption. It is followed by Europe and the United States, with consumption shares of 8.2% and 7.5%, respectively.
By product type.
Global consumption of polyester film (PET) in 2021 is expected to exceed 5.4 million tons, accounting for more than 98%, making it the most dominant product among functional film materials. Although high-performance film materials such as fluorinated films and polyimide films account for only 1.6% of the global functional film materials market, much lower than polyester films, their high technical threshold and high unit price, coupled with their irreplaceability in specific applications, determine their current market size of up to 18%.
As a very important part of the new material industry, the downstream end markets represented by consumer electronics and new energy will further drive the growth of demand for functional film materials in the future. China's functional membrane materials are generally in the middle and low end of the industrial value chain, with low technical content and added value and a large gap compared with developed countries, and many high-end products are still in short supply. It is necessary for manufacturers and downstream users to make joint efforts to promote industrial transformation and upgrading. As a trade platform for functional film materials and adhesive tapes, the Shenzhen International Film & Tape Fair has been actively promoting the development of the functional film materials industry by linking the upstream and downstream of the industry with the mission of "creating opportunities for functional material enterprises and driving the sustainable development of the industry"
FILM & TAPE EXPO 2022 will be held in Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center (Baoan New Hall) from November 30 to December 2, as the wind vane exhibition in the field of film and tape and coating and die-cutting, it will be reloaded after 15 years. This year's exhibition will bring together more than 3,000 exhibitors from home and abroad to showcase functional films, adhesive products, chemical raw materials, secondary processing equipment, and related accessories for high value-added applications. At the show, you will see the innovative technologies and comprehensive solutions of functional films and adhesive tapes for touch panel, display panel, cell phone original manufacturer, die-cutting processing, printing and packaging, automotive, home appliance, electronic components, lithium battery, flexible circuit board, semiconductor, plastic packaging, medical, label, and other fields.
More than 50 summit forums will focus on film and tape innovation and development, 5G new materials, consumer electronics adhesives, die-cutting and coating, new energy applications, packaging films, and other hot topics, combined with the show's unique TAP invited buyer program and creative activities, to grasp the latest industry trends, gain insight into market development trends, and help enterprises and industry reach upstream and downstream business negotiations and business cooperation. The film tape industry feast is about to begin, and will this year provide you with those wonderful conferences, black technologies, and new products?Here comes the moment of revelation!
Exhibitors with new products will join hands to create a film and tape industry event
The 2022 Shenzhen International Film and Tape Exhibition will bring together enterprises from the chemical raw materials, functional films, adhesive tapes, production equipment, and accessories to truly create a whole industry chain exhibition for the film and tape industry and to meet your procurement, technical exchange, and business expansion needs in a single location.
