INSULATED METAL SUBSTRATES MARKET OVERVIEW

The global insulated metal substrates market size was USD 0.92 billion in 2024 and the market is projected to touch USD 2.02 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period.

Insulated metal substrate consists of a metal baseplate covered by a thin layer of dielectric and a layer of copper The FR-4-based dielectric is usually thin because it has poor thermal conductivity compared to the ceramics used in DBC substrates.  IMS is made with a metallic support plate or a metallic material. The material or plate is combined or added as the thick base or inner layer of the circuit board. The key purpose for the incorporation is for the material to augment both the thermal and mechanical properties of the circuit board. Aluminum is the utmost common metal used though you can also have them manufactured with a stainless steel or copper base for extremely high power compactness plans.  It is commonly used in LED lighting, automotive electronics, motor drives, and radio frequency amplifiers among other applications. Massive demand for electronic goods there has been an upsurge in the percentage of various products that are incorporated into those goods which has led to an increase in the capacity of those goods to disperse heat.

Insulated metal substrates is especially beneficial in high-power and high-frequency applications where efficient heat intemperance is essential to maintain the performance and reliability of electronic devices. Insulated metal substrates are utilised for the purposes of engrossing heat from a variety of components and transferring that heat. A rise in the use of insulated metal substrates in LED lighting uses may be responsible for the segmental boom that is foreseen to occur during the upcoming time period. The segmental boom will be driven by a rise in the operation of aluminum-based insulated metal substrates in LED lighting uses for the purpose of boosting the performance of the product. Participating are fixing their efforts on encouraging R&D.
