The global PTFE CCL market size was USD 646.5 million in 2021 and market is projected to touch USD 1516.44 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.9% during forecst period, 2031.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a type of synthetic resin derived by polymerizing tetrafluoroethylene. It features resistant and non-flammable qualities and has a waxy surface finish. PTFE CCL is a form of CCL (copper clad laminate) with PTFE as the core material. PTFE is a highly important substance in the electrical engineering industry due to its exceptional dielectric characteristics.

Because of its chemical resistance, flexibility, heat resistance, and low friction, PTFE is utilized in various industries, including aircraft, electronics and electrical, consumer goods, and engineering and construction. CCL is a fundamental PCB material laminated with copper clads and serves as the foundation for various electrical components. PTFE CCL is commonly used in the hardware sector to make a variety of electrical items such as monitors, laptops, cellphones, and transmitters.

COVID-19 Impact: Halt on Production and Supply Chain Disruption to Impede Sales. 

COVID-19 had a negative impact on the market in 2020. The demand for PTFE has been harmed because of the supply chain disruption. The economic situation in most countries has severely damaged the building industry, but demand for electronics items such as laptops, mobile phones, home appliances, and other products has increased. Manufacturers face losses because of stringent lockdowns and non-operational workplaces during the pandemic, despite labor safety and regulatory regulations. Therefore, the growth of the global PTFE CCL market has slowed down. However, technical advancements in optical information storage systems, and impending 5G technologies that necessitate 5G infrastructure materials, are expected to drive market growth in the coming years.

LATEST TRENDS

"Increasing Demand in Electrical Industry to Bolster Market Progress"

PTFE CCL is in high demand in the electrical industry because of its dielectric conductive property. The most common form of PTFE CCL is fiberglass, which is robust, lighter, and long-lasting. It has a high molding capability, allowing for minimal packaging and wire versatility in mobile communication equipment, transfer devices, and radio communication. Demand for PTFE CCL is driven by these causes and advancements in household appliances that use copper-clad laminate to avoid dielectric loss. Furthermore, to fulfill the high-frequency needs of the 5G era, PTFE has replaced the traditional epoxy resin copper wrapped laminate in the fabrication of printed circuit boards. According to Gartner, the 5G network infrastructure market is predicted to grow by 89 percent in just 12 months after its launch in 2019. The massive increase in the use of e-vehicles will also be a major driver in the PTFE CCL market growth.

PTFE CCL market is predicted to be driven by the rising chemical and industrial processing industries throughout the forecast period.

"Increasing Adoption of the 5G in High-Frequency CCL to Magnify Market Growth"

A high-frequency CCL is a type of CCL that can receive signals at high frequencies. The term "high frequency" refers to frequencies greater than 1 GHz. In modern electronic equipment, high-frequency equipment is an unavoidable trend, particularly in the sectors of wireless networking and satellite communications. The development of information products necessitates increased speed and frequency of usage, whereas communication products necessitate a high-capacity, standardized transmission system. Therefore, high-frequency CCLs are required in modern communication devices such as cell phones, communications satellites, and ground stations. The communication sector is likely to continue to grow at a rapid pace, indicating that high-frequency CCLs will become a crucial market requirement in the coming years.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"High Costs and Poor Mechanical Performance to Impede Market Progress"

PTFE has low rebound resistance, material strength, and material hardness. It has low heat conductivity, which means it is susceptible to thermal deformation and damage. Injection molding and calendaring molding are not suitable for PTFE components due to the high shrinkage percentage. It is significantly more expensive than epoxy resin. Raw material prices are a major determinant of product marketization; hence this is an important element.
