Potting Compound Market

Potting Compound Market Outlook - 2027

The global potting compound market size was valued at $3.1 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $4.1 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2020 to 2027.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively impacted in the need for electronic components in the building and construction sector, which, in turn, has hampered the growth of the potting compound market.

Potting is a process of filling or introducing solid compounds in complete electronic assembly for shock and vibration resistance, and protection from moisture and corrosive agnates. In electronic silicon and epoxy resins are frequently used, which are known as potting compounds or potting material. Besides these two resins, few other types of resins are also used that includes polyurethane, polyester, polyamide, polyolefin, and acrylic. 

These potting compounds are extensively used in the electrical and electronics industry for protecting the products from moisture, and shock. Some of the associated advantages with these compounds are low viscosity, semi-rigid, and flexible compositions & are ideal for large volume production applications. 

For the purpose of analysis, the global potting compound market is segmented into resin type, curing technology, application, end user and region. Based on the resin type, the market is bifurcated into polyurethane, silicone, epoxy, polyester, polyolefin, polyamide, and others. On the basis of curing technology, it is classified into UV curing, thermal curing, room temperature curing. 

Furthermore, it focusses on various applications of potting compounds, which include electrical and electronics applications. The key end users of potting compounds are electronics, aerospace, automotive, industrial, others. The report covers the revenue generated by potting compounds across various regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Potting compound Market, by Resin Type

By resin type, the silicone resin segment held the highest global potting compound market share of about 29.8% in 2019 and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This is owing to the increase in demand from the automotive, electronics, photo voltaic & solar power, and aerospace & transport systems sectors.

Potting compound Market, by Curing Technology

By curing technology, the UV curing technology segment accounted for the largest share of about 56.1% in 2019 in terms of revenue and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This growth for UV curing technology is attributed to increase in demand from semiconductor devices and rise in sales of mobile and consumer electronic devices in bonding and assembling application.

Potting compound Market, by Application

On the basis of application, the electrical segment accounted for the largest share in terms of revenue and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.4%. This is owing to the increase in demand from the electrical applications such as surface mount packages and beam bonded components.

Potting compound Market, by End User

By end user, in 2019, the electronics segment held the largest share of about 43.6%, in terms of revenue, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2%. This is attributed to increase in demand for potting encapsulants and adhesives from the electronics industry assembly processing. In addition, increase in demand for electronics components from the developing economies such as China, India, Japan and other developing nations, is projected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Potting compound Market, by Region

Asia-Pacific garnered the dominant share in 2019 and is anticipated to maintain this trend during the forecast period. This is attributed to numerous factors such as presence of huge consumer base and the existence of key players in the region. Moreover, presence of developing countries such as China, Japan, Australia, and India are anticipated to contribute toward the growth of the potting compound market in Asia-Pacific.

COVID-19 Impact on the Market

The outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively impacted various industries and countries across the globe. Adoption of lockdown across the globe has halted the production of electronics parts, which restrains the growth of the potting compound market. In addition, there has been delay in the supply of raw materials required in the manufacturing of electronics components. 

This disruption to supply chains may increase if the spread of virus continues to increase globally. Due to this pandemic, uneven effects are seen on the electronic industry, as there is an increase in demand for medical electronic devices and other essential electronic components to cope with the COVID-19 effect. Thus, all these factors collectively are antedated to result in sluggish growth of the global potting compound market in 2020 and is expected to increase by the end of the first quarter of 2021.
