The global ptfe copper clad laminate market size was USD 932.6 million in 2022 and is projected to touch USD 2128 million by 2031, exhibiting CAGR of 9.6% during the forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the PTFE Copper Clad Laminate Market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

PTFE Copper Clad Laminate is a type of composite material used in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards (PCBs). It consists of a layer of copper foil bonded to a substrate made of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene.

PTFE is well-known for its excellent electrical properties, including low dielectric constant, low dissipation factor, and high insulation resistance. These properties make PTFE an ideal choice for high-frequency and microwave applications where signal integrity and minimal signal loss are crucial. The copper foil layer in PTFE Copper Clad Laminate serves as the conductive element of the PCB. It provides the electrical connectivity required for the circuitry. The copper foil is typically laminated onto one or both sides of the PTFE substrate using heat and pressure.

"COVID-19 Impact: Market to witness plunge in demand because of supply chain disruption"

The pandemic led to global disruptions in supply chains due to lockdowns, travel restrictions, and temporary shutdowns of manufacturing facilities. This resulted in delays in the production and delivery of PTFE copper clad laminates, affecting the overall market. Many industries, such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics, experienced a decline in demand during the pandemic due to economic uncertainties and reduced consumer spending. As a result, the demand for PTFE copper clad laminates, which are primarily used in these industries, also decreased.
