STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
This report studies and highlights the role of conformal coatings in providing
protection to electronic products, and explains the technology, development,
production, and methods of application of these coatings, covers the equipment
involved, and gives a market overview, analyzing major market trends both in
terms of region and application sector. In addition, the report studies in
detail new developments taking place in the conformal coatings industry with
respect to continuous improvements in environmental performance.
Both the market for conformal coating products and the market for the
technologies involved are analyzed, including various emerging technologies
and new products produced using these technologies.
The various applications of conformal coatings and their markets are also
analyzed, with a special emphasis on the new products being developed. Along
with the development of new products, research and development (R&D) is taking
coating technologies to new heights, and these developments are examined in
this report as are the new applications emerging from these new emerging
technologies.
Customers are driving the increased demand for conformal coatings and relevant
coating equipment, with huge expectations in diverse areas such as
performance, ease of application, sustainability, quality, functionality, and
environmental properties. All of the above expectations require special
attention from manufacturers in order to ensure that their products meet
expected standards and the market remains buoyant. This report pinpoints the
need for the industry' s commitment to continuous improvement in environmental
performance and takes a glimpse at a future in which the functionality of
conformal coatings will be enhanced and transformed from the conventional
areas of protection and aesthetics to meet additional and more specific
demands.
