Copper Clad Laminates Market by Application (Computers, Communication Systems, Consumer Appliances, Vehicle electronics, Healthcare Devices), Product Type (Rigid, Flexible), Reinforcement Material Type, Resin Type, Region - Global Forecast to 2027
Copper Clad Laminates Market
The global copper clad laminates market was valued at USD 16.4 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 21.6 billion by 2027, growing at a cagr 5.7% from 2022 to 2027. The copper clad laminate is widely used in the fabrication of printed circuit boards (PCB). However, copper-clad laminate is a material that soaks in a resin with electronic glass fiber or any other reinforcing material to make the copper clad. Nowadays, in the era of technology, the integration and assembly density of several small and lightweight components on the boards are higher, which results in producing more amount of heat. Hence, to dissipate this amount of heat, there is a requirement for such materials that have a great heat transfer properties. In the market, there are two major types of copper-clad laminates available, i.e., rigid copper-clad laminate and flexible copper laminate. These copper-clad laminates are widely used in various end-use applications such as Computers, communication systems, consumer appliances, vehicle electronics, healthcare devices, and defense technology.

These fiberglass sheets provide several benefits, such as excellent electrical properties, good moisture resistance, heat resistance, high strength, and others. Because of such benefits, these are widely used in making several electronic products that provide excellent energy-saving benefits.
By Type, the Flexible segment accounted for the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Flexible copper-clad laminates come in either single-layer or double-layer, which are made of PI film or polyester film as substrate material. This type of copper-clad laminate is an insulating and thin copper foil conductor with flexibility on the surface. Flexible copper-clad laminates provide several mechanical and electrical properties, along with good moisture resistance and low melting point. These flexible copper clad laminates provides low weight, thinness, and flexibility which make them an appropriate material to use in several electronic products, including cell phone, digital camera, automotive GPS, and laptop.
Asia Pacific is projected to account for the highest CAGR in the copper clad laminates market during the forecast period
Asia Pacific region is the hub of the electronic market. Due to the, rapidly growing electronics and automotive industries, competitive manufacturing costs, abundant availability of raw materials at lower costs, high economic growth rate, and lower labor & transportation costs are fueling the PCBs market in the region, which automatically boost the market of copper clad laminates.
