Anti-scratch Film Market

Anti-scratch Film Market Overview

Demand in the global anti-scratch film market is projected to increase at a healthy pace over the assessment period on the back of surging demand from the automotive, pharmaceutical, and electronics industries.

Increasing focus on protective solutions for product contamination in various end use industries is expected to drive sales of anti-scratch films. These coatings can be applied on optical surfaces such as glass lenses and plastic products to achieve optical clarity and chemical resistance.

Anti-scratch films effectively protect the surface texture without hampering the function of the product when applied. These films act as a protective and preventive coating to make the product safer and more durable.

Stringent regulations regarding carbon emissions are driving the demand for eco-friendlier solutions in the manufacturing and industrial sectors. Driven by this, sales of water-based anti-scratch films are forecast to increase in the forthcoming years.

What are the Key Trends Boosting Sales of Anti-Scratch Films?

Product innovations in the anti-scratch film market are anticipated to create opportunities for growth over the forecast period. Anti-scratch films used in real-estate and furniture industries come with high fire resistance and high temperature resistance.

These products are being applied in the electronics and automotive sectors, thereby augmenting the demand in the market. Besides this, anti-scratch films provide additional protection to a wide variety of products in terms of UV rays, general wear and tear, stone ship, water damage, and dust deposit.

Anti-scratch films are also lightweight, transparent, and improve the aesthetic appeal of products. This is driving their applications in the food and beverage industry. Increasing preference for protective coatings to ensure no-leakage and contamination of food and beverage products while transport and retail is anticipated to fuel sales of anti-scratch films.

Further, growing adoption of these films in the electric and electronics sector will bode well for the market. Rising expenditure in smart electronics such as wearables, home automation devices, and smartphones will continue boosting sales in the forthcoming years.

What are the Restraints in the Anti-scratch Film Market?

The utilization of harmful chemicals and materials for the manufacturing of anti-scratch films is expected to hinder the growth in the market. Rising concerns regarding environmental pollution and plastic disposal across the globe are limiting sales of plastic-based anti-scratch films.

In addition to this, diminishing product quality, the inadequacy of thicker films, and product damage caused by adhesives used in these films are some aspects that may hamper sales of anti-scratch films over the forecast period.

What is Growth Outlook in the North America Anti-Scratch Film Market?

As per FMI, the presence of robust healthcare, personal care, food and beverage, and electronics industry in the U.S. is expected to create opportunities for growth in the North America anti-scratch film market.

Increasing sales of packaged food products, along with surging adoption of anti-scratch films in medical equipment and other products in the pharmaceutical sector will push sales over the forecast period.

Further, expansion of the electric and electronics industry, growing expenditure on personal electronics such as wearables and consumer appliances in the U.S. are anticipated to spur demand for anti-scratch films, thereby augmenting the growth in the market.
