• Increasing demand for the miniaturization of electronic devices

Surface mounting, assembling substrates on PCBs and semiconductors, potting & encapsulation, and manufacturing & assembly of electronic circuits and goods are all applications for electronic adhesives. The growing need for miniaturization/automation of mobile devices, touch screens & displays, and electronic medical systems is propelling the industry forward. Because of the increased demand for these items, the consumption of adhesives and sealants for portable devices has increased.

• The rising popularity of gaming laptops & detachable laptops
• Introduction of 5G infrastructure

• The gradual shift in demand and production capacity in developing countries

The electronics markets have been established in developed nations such as the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, and France. These mature electronic adhesive markets have nearly exhausted additional expansion opportunities, resulting in lower growth prospects. As a result, demand for electronic chemicals and materials has gradually shifted from North America and Europe to the Asia Pacific region. One of the primary reasons for this movement is that the Asia Pacific region is seen as a rising market for

and materials due to various developing countries such as China and India. Another key factor driving the migration is the region's low-cost manufacturing. Europe's ongoing loss of dominance is triggering a market shift toward the Asia-Pacific, as HenkelAG & Co. KgaA (Germany), The 3M Company (US), and others are expanding and catering to increased demand in Asia Pacific's emerging countries. Due to the high price ranges for adhesives and sealants for portable devices, the steady relocation of production plants and raw material suppliers to the Asia-Pacific has boosted imports of adhesive materials from the region.

• Volatility in raw material prices

• Rise in technological advancements in the electronic assembly industry

With continuous technological developments and innovation in the North American electronic assembly business, electronic adhesives have garnered a larger preference over lead solders in the area. In terms of consumer electronics usage, this area reigns supreme. North America has the most electronic, chemical and material industries that are always working to incorporate newer versions of the technology. Dow Chemical Company (US) has dominated the adhesives and sealants for the portable devices industry due to its unrivaled product quality. The players' constant innovations, R&D efforts, and development strategies, such as The 3M Company (US) and H.B. Fuller (US), present an opportunity to advance eco-friendly, non-toxic electronic adhesives for electronics and semiconductor applications.
