Market Research Future published a Half-Cooked Research Report on “Global Liquid crystal polymers Market Research Report - Forecast to 2023”– Market Analysis, Scope, Stake, Progress, Trends and Forecast to 2023.

Market Scenario:

Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) Market is estimated to garner USD 1.28 billion during the forecast period (2014-2023). The market is slated to exhibit high revenue in the coming years owing to the burgeoning demand for ultra-thin electrical components. Liquid crystal polymers (LCP) can be referred to as a unique group of polymers which are highly chemical resistant, inert, and unreactive. Physical and chemical attributes such as high flow, high stiffness, and high-temperature resistance make it ideal for use in product miniaturization in microinjection molding and electrical & electronics industry.

Market Potential and Pitfalls:

Liquid crystal polymers are extensively used in several applications focusing on electrical components including laptop, smartphones, tablets, and desktop. LCP is also largely consumed for industrial and automotive applications and in medical ...
... and aerospace. Due to their augmenting consumption in several end-use industries, the market is estimated to flourish throughout the appraisal period. With the surging demand for lightweight and high-performance materials from the automobile sector to reduce carbon emissions and manufacture fuel-efficient vehicles, the global market for LCP is predicted to flourish. The market’s course is chiefly directed by the shifting trend towards miniaturization electrical and electronic components like SMT connectors, other microelectronic devices, and surface mounting devices. The liquid crystal polymers market is also driven by factors such as new product development initiated by several industry players and strong technological innovations. Moreover, high demand for thinner and smaller electrical components which can withstand wear and extreme temperatures are contributing to the market growth.

On the contrary, low welding strength of liquid crystal polymers is estimated to deter the market growth in the coming years. Despite such hiccups, efforts are being made in order to enhance the chemical and physical attributes. Besides, the high cost of LCP compared to natural graphite is expected to hinder the market growth.
