[COVIDIMPACTSTATEMENT]
As a specialized engineering material, polyimide has found widespread application in aviation, aerospace, microelectronics, nanoscale, liquid crystal, separation membrane, laser, and other industries. Polyimide material is distinguished by its strong temperature resistance, mechanical and chemical stability, high glass transition temperature, optical transparency, and low dielectric constant. All of polyimide's attributes can vary based on its chemical structure and macromolecular circumstances, such as molecular weight (MW), crystallinity, and intermolecular forces. Polyimide is excellent for coating applications because it adheres to several substrates, including metals, polymers, carbon, and silica-based materials.

Polyimide is a class of high-performance polymers with good dielectric properties and high thermal stability at both high and low temperatures. The increase in use of polyimide coatings in end-use sectors such as electronics is anticipated to propel market expansion.
Compact electronic gadgets, such as pocket computers, watches, circuit boards, and digital cameras, utilize polyimide coatings. In the electronics industry, polyimide coatings are in high demand due to their thermal stability, outstanding mechanical and electrical capabilities, and chemical resistance. In a laptop, for instance, the cable that links the main logic board to the display (which must bend each time the laptop is opened and closed) often consists of a polyimide base and a copper conductor. In this business, the demand for polyimide coatings is mostly attributable to their high-temperature qualities, low dielectric constants, resistance to solvents, and long-term stability.
Polyimide coatings are widely employed in the electrical industry due to their physical and mechanical qualities. Copper-based electrical circuits are printed on these resins because it has a great degree of flexibility. Polyimide coatings are employed as insulators in electric and magnetic wires, as well as in the fabrication of flexible wires that connect internal circuits in complex systems. Polyimide coatings are utilized in the fabrication of integrated circuits (IC) and micro-electromechanical systems as an insulating layer (micro-coating) (MEMS).
The advancements in the aerospace industry, as well as the increase in affordability of space expeditions and satellite launches, are likely to drive the demand for polyamide coatings. Polyimide coatings are also utilized in medical tubes, such as vascular catheters, since they provide flexibility and appropriate burst pressure resistance, as well as chemical resistance.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE GLOBAL POLYIMIDE COATINGS MARKET
COVID-19 has spread across the globe and effected almost all aspects of life. According to an article published by the Economic Times, the exports of electronic products such as wires and cables and semiconductors have decreased as a result of supply chain problems. In addition, a number of electronic companies have either ceased operations or reduced their employees due to the potential of infection. In addition, more than one hundred nations have sealed their international borders for transportation and halted non-essential trade activities, which has contributed to a decline in the demand for polyimide coatings in a number of end-use industries.
Nevertheless, the polyimide coatings business is anticipated to recover fast in the aftermath of COVID-19 due to its greater reliance on the electronics industry. In addition, sales of electronic devices such as wires and cables, televisions, and laptops have surged where polyimide coatings are extensively employed for insulating purposes. It is anticipated that this will improve the performance of the polyimide coatings market after COVID-19.
