Miniaturization in the Electronics Industry to Propel the Demand for Fiberglass Electrical Products in the Global Market

Renewable energy

The global giberglass electrical products market is currently valued at almost USD 1,712 million and is expected to reach around USD 2,661 million by 2021, says Technavio.

Technavio has announced its latest market research report on the global fiberglass electrical products market, under its textile, fiber, and composites portfolio. This market analysis discusses the major drivers and key emerging trends and offers an analysis of key vendors like AGY, Jushi Group, PPG Industries, Saint-Gobain, and China Beihai Fiberglass.

According to Ajay Adikari, a lead analyst for textile, fiber, and composites research at Technavio, “Growing environmental awareness and the demand for higher energy  are prompting the electrical and electronics industry to shift their focus towards energy-efficient electrical goods. Besides, government initiatives toward environmental considerations are anticipated to foster growth of the market for energy-efficient electrical and electronic products during the forecast period.”

Fiberglass electrical and electronic products such as PCBs, insulators, and enclosures are the essential components in the electrical and electronics industry. Fiberglass serves as one of the most important materials in this industry.

Nanotechnology in fiberglass

Nanomaterials function as super filler, with a much smaller filler volume compared with traditionally filled resins. Furthermore, nano-filled resins often exhibit characteristics such as enhanced thermal and electrical conductivity and reduced flammability. For instance, Applied Nanotech has developed stronger fiberglass that can be used in certain application areas using carbon nanotube (CNT)-enhanced composites.

Miniaturization in electronics industry

The need for decreased material costs and demand for smaller assemblies in specific applications is resulting in the miniaturization of electrical devices. The trend of miniaturization of devices is especially prominent in the aerospace industry owing to the development of semiconductor technology and integrated circuits. The technological advancements in the electronic equipment are spurring the development compact and user-friendly devices. Such developments are resulting in changes in design features of the integrated circuits and PCBs that require fiberglass for manufacturing.
