Luton, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom, July 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exactitude Consultancy, the market research and consulting wing of Ameliorate Digital Consultancy Private Limited has completed and published the final copy of the detailed research report on the Liquid Crystal Polymer Market.
The Liquid Crystal Polymers (LCP) Market size is estimated at 0.93 billion USD in 2024, and is expected to reach 1.58 billion USD by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.28% during the forecast period (2023-2033).
The global market for Liquid Crystal Polymers (LCPs) is expected to experience significant growth due to their superior properties, including temperature resistance, chemical stability, and high weight-to-strength ratio. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted global manufacturing and industrial operations, leading to a near halt in production across sectors like automotive and electronics. The lockdowns and supply chain disruptions have also led to increased LCP prices, as seen by Sumitomo Chemical raising its prices in August 2021 due to increased logistics and raw material costs. This has contributed to a slow economic recovery, with aftermarket demand potentially taking years to return to pre-2019 levels. Despite these challenges, industry players are implementing strategic measures to navigate the crisis and strengthen their market positions, which are expected to support the recovery and growth of the liquid crystal polymer industry in the forecast period.
