Insights from Key Regions
Asia’s Electrostatic Discharge Packaging Market: An Overview and Growth Potential
Asia pacific dominated the market with the largest share in 2023. This is due to the increased production of electronic devices, leading to increased demand for ESD packaging. Countries like China, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan are known as electronics manufacturing hub. A significant increase in the adoption of smart devices further bolstered the market in the region.
Moreover, the rapid expansion of the automotive industry contributes to regional market growth. As production of vehicles increases, so does the demand for ESD packaging to protect electronic components, thus boosting the market.
Well-established E-commerce Supply Chain in North America to Drive the Market
The electrostatic discharge packaging market in North America is expected to expand rapidly in the coming years. This is mainly due to its well-developed e-commerce industry. ESD packaging is essential to safeguard electronic devices throughout assembly, testing, and shipment.
As e-commerce becomes more popular, especially within segments such as mobile phones, consumer electronics, wearable technology, computers, and other tech gadgets, there is an increase in the number of electronic products being shipped across the region.
These devices are more prone to be damaged or destroyed by electrostatic discharge during transit, handling, and storage, requiring ESD packaging. Moreover, there is a high demand for reusable ESD packaging solutions due to the growing concerns about packaging waste, contributing to regional market expansion.
Electrostatic Discharge Packaging Market Opportunity
Increasing Demand from the Automotive Industry
The demand for electrostatic discharge packaging is rising with the increasing incorporation of electronics in automotive systems, such as powertrains, infotainment systems, and advanced driver-assistance systems. Vehicles heavily rely on electronic components, which are highly prone to electric discharge. As the industry moves toward more innovative automotive electronics, there is a higher demand for ESD packaging solutions.
Electrical equipment such as batteries, motors, power electronics, and control units are sophisticated systems that electric cars heavily rely on. These electronic components are susceptible to electrostatic discharge, reducing vehicle performance. ESD packaging is crucial in handling and shipping these components. In addition, the rising production of electric vehicles (EVs) further fuels the growth of the market.
- In February 2023, Germany’s Freudenberg Performance Materials expanded its portfolio of technical packaging textiles by launching new Evolon ESD. This new collection safeguards automotive parts with electronic components from electrostatic discharge. These automotive parts include trim lines, dashboards, mirrors, steering wheels, and others. Evolon ESD also protects sensitive surfaces from scratching.
Electrostatic Discharge Packaging Market Segmentation
- By product type, the bags segment dominated the market in 2023. This is mainly due to the increase in demand for ESD bags in various end-use industries, such as electronics, automotive, aerospace, and energy. These bags provide safe packaging for sensitive printed circuit boards, semiconductors, and electronic components. These bags are available in a variety of sizes and formats. This versatility makes them convenient for several applications, ranging from small integrated circuits to large electronic assemblies.
- By material & additive type, the conductive & dissipative polymers segment dominated the market by capturing a considerable share in 2023. This is mainly due to the heightened usage of conductive and dissipative polymers as additives in electrostatic discharge packaging. These materials have higher electrical resistivity and robustness and are lightweight, which offers enhanced protection to sensitive electronic components. These materials also provide reliable and consistent ESD protection, which ensures the packaged components are safe from static-related damage throughout the supply chain.
- By application, the electrical & electronic component segment held a notable share of the market in 2023. This is mainly due to the increased adoption of electronic devices. Electronic components, such as microchips, semiconductors, integrated circuits, transistors, and capacitors, are most susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic discharge. Thus, these components need to be packaged with an ESD packaging solution, as even a small electrostatic charge can produce permanent damage, malfunctioning, or failure of such components.
- By end-user, the electrical & electronics segment registered dominance in the market in 2023 owing to the rapid expansion of the electrical & electronics industry. With the rapid increase in the production of electronic devices, the demand for ESD packaging to protect delicate components has increased.
