by Anti-static packaging materials are used for wrapping electronic products to protect them from damage caused by static electricity during storage and transportation. These materials include antistatic bags, antistatic foam, antistatic stretching films, and antistatic tapes, which are made from polyethylene, polypropylene, and other plastics that prevent the build-up of static charge on packaged items. The growing electronics industry has significantly driven the demand for anti-static packaging as electronic devices are prone to damage from even low levels of static electricity.
The global Anti-Static Packaging Materials Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 606.6 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
Growing demand for protecting electronics from static damage is a major trend fueling the anti-static packaging materials market. With increasing usage of electronic gadgets such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other electronic devices, the need to safeguard them from damage by electrostatic discharge has surged tremendously. Failure to protect electronics from ESD can lead to malfunctioning or permanent damage of sensitive components. Therefore, anti-static materials that effectively control the build-up and dissipation of electrostatic charges are widely being used to package consumer electronics and other industrial electronics. This growing requirement is helping drive the demand for anti-static packaging materials.
SWOT Analysis
