Potting Compound Market Dynamics
The demand for potting compounds is ever increasing. Major drivers for this rise in demand include its excellent thermal conductivity and stability, super adhesive strength, chemical resistance, and outstanding electrical insulation.
The growing use of polyurethane potting compounds is one of the key drivers of the global potting compound market. Polyurethane potting compounds for electronics are best suited for electronic potting for commercial and industrial businesses. Also, this compound is used for manufacturing electronic components, viz. transistors, inductors, capacitors, diodes, resistors, and more.
There is a strong demand for vehicles electrification in the transportation industry, including automobiles, buses, trains, off-road vehicles, watercraft, and aircraft. High horsepower requires high power density from their electrical components such as batteries, motors and generators, and the electronics needed for operation. The strong demand is towards smaller, lighter, and less expensive components that will save space and reduce costs while boosting power efficiency. Additionally, one key challenge in developing these components is managing the heat generated by smaller, high-power devices like onboard battery chargers, power inverters and converters, and electric machines. Thermally conductive potting compounds prove to be an ideal method for rapidly and effectively conducting heat away from power components to the heat sink. The potting compound fills the component enclosure, leaving no air gaps. As a result, the demand for potting compounds is anticipated to rise significantly shortly.
However, potting can often add extra processing time, cost, and weight, which will affect the market's growth.
Potting Compound Market Segmentation Analysis
Based on the types, the global potting compound market is broadly segmented into the epoxy potting compound, polyurethane potting compounds, and silicone potting compound. Among all these compounds, the epoxy potting compound leads the market with the highest market share due to its wide range of properties and unmatched versatility. Epoxies offer exceptional chemical resistance, excellent physical properties, and strong adhesion to metals, most plastics, ceramics, and composites — materials commonly used for potting housings. Epoxies have an excellent dielectric property making them the perfect solution for potting transformers and switches.
Polyurethane potting compound is also anticipated to remain a strong contributor in the potting compound market in the forecast period, owing to its flexibility, elongation, and abrasion resistance. This potting compound also enhances the life of the components. Polyurethane potting compound for electronics offers several benefits when needing to cure at lower temperatures. Polyurethanes offer better flexibility and crack resistance as well as better adhesion. It is ideal for electronic applications, surface mount technology, and applications that require thermal cycling resistance.
Potting Compound Market Geographical Share
Based on the region, the global Potting Compound market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa. The Asia Pacific dominated the global potting compound market among all regions due to high automotive production and sales growth. The rising volumes of production and an increase in the number of variants of vehicles sold around the globe have further propelled the demand of the potting compound market.
Furthermore, according to the International Organization of motor vehicles manufacturers (OICA), out of the 96.8 million vehicles sold globally, more than 48 million cars were sold in the Asia Pacific region, with China alone accounting for more than 29 million car sales, followed by 5.2 million in Japan and 4 million in India. The number of cars sold in the Asia Pacific region in 2016 was 4.69 million compared to 4.34 million in 2015. This is expected to provide huge opportunities for manufacturers and distributors seeking to extract profits from this market.
