A
new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a
comprehensive evaluation of the global Oleophobic
Coatings
Market. The
study, titled “Oleophobic
Coatings Market for Electronic Device - Global Industry Analysis,
Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2017 - 2025”,
is available for sale on the firm’s website.
Oleophobic
coating refers to materials with zero affinity to oil. They are
oil-repellent materials. These coatings quickly shed off the oil from
their surface. Oleophobic coating is inspired and supported by the
development of nanotechnology. The technology creates and modifies
materials at the nano-level. Therefore, oleophobic coatings form oil
repelling layers of nano-scale thickness on various kinds of
substrates. The coatings are ideal for preventing fingerprints on
smart device displays. However, the coatings are also suitable for a
range of other applications that are impervious to dirt, dust, sticky
substance, and other particulates, subsequently offering a substrate
that is easy-to-clean and maintains a clean surface for extended
period than untreated glass.

Oleophobic
coatings find major application in the electronics segment. The
coating helps repel much of the natural oil from the finger when
touching the screen of any electronic device. Apple was the first one
to introduce an oleophobic screen on its 3G S iPhone. Currently,
these coatings are been being applied on most of the smartphones and
laptops available on the market. Consumer electronics hold the major
share of the oleophobic coatings market, and the share is anticipated
to rise even more in the coming years. In electronic devices,
oleophobic coatings are employed for optical device such as touch
screens and displays in electronic devices. Oleophobic coatings are
applied on LCD and projection displays as well as on video optical
components. These coatings self-clean themselves from contamination
by greasy smudges, fingerprints, and other natural oils that are
difficult to remove, and which significantly deteriorate the
appearance and view. Oleophobic coatings are also used in
encapsulation of oxygen and moisture sensitive electronics, such as
organic light emitting devices, quantum dot films, photovoltaic
cells, and flexible electronics. The coatings are also been being
used employed in printed circuit boards and semiconductor packaging.
The demand for oleophobic coatings in the electronic devices market
is observed to be increasing year-on-year, as along with being oil
repellent, the product is also scratch- resistant and keeps the glass
scratch proof on which it is applied. The oleophobic layer has a
slightly slippery feel to it, which makes the gadgets feel slick to
the touch. This helps the glass to be more scratch resistant, as a
reduced friction causes dangerous materials to slide off the surface,
rather than damaging damage it.
In
terms of region, North America holds the major share of the
oleophobic coatings market followed by Europe. Demand for oleophobic
coatings is higher in North America and Europe due to advancements in
technologies, developed industries, and high demand for electronic
devices. Asia Pacific is observed to be a rapidly expanding market
for oleophobic coatings due to rising demand for electronic devices
in the region. Demand is observed to be increasing in the electronics
market in the region. The electronics market is expanding rapidly in
developing countries such as China and India. Large number of
oleophobic coatings suppliers are present in China and India. China
is expected to be one of the major consumer for oleophobic coatings
for electronic devices over the coming years, owing to it high growth
in electronics industry. Demand for oleophobic coatings in Latin
America and Middle East & Africa is observed to be moderate over
the coming years.
Key
manufacturers of oleophobic coatings across the globe include Aculon
Inc., Artekya Ltd. Co., Innovative Surface Technologies, Inc.,
Cytonix, LLC, Armorix Inc., and Ultratech International Inc.
