The global automotive conformal coating market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2021-2027). Conformal coating is a protective covering for electronic circuits that protect them from high humidity, fluctuating temperatures, and a hostile environment that may contain airborne pollutants. A polymer film of 25-75 microns is used as the coating layer. Conformal coatings are significantly used in the automobile industry as they provide the necessary mix of high performance and dependability. Urethane resin, acrylic resin, epoxy resin, silicone resin, and parylene are a few examples of coatings.

The development of large-scale demand for conformal coating from the automotive sector is a key driver accelerating market growth. Growth is expected to be impacted by changes in consumer expectations. Vehicle safety and regulatory requirements have risen, luxury features are now expected to come with new vehicles, and manufacturers must comply with a new warranty requirement. Full infotainment systems, which include software assistance, a music player, communication, and a variety of less common apps, are gaining popularity. Furthermore, emerging trends such as electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as an increase in overall vehicle sales, particularly in Asia, and an increase in electronic content per vehicle, are driving the market growth.

In-vehicle air quality systems in new vehicles employ sensors to detect hazardous chemicals entering the vehicle cabin and, if found, immediately seal the inlet air cabin. Rain sensor, anti-lock braking system (ABS), heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control, automatic dimming mirror, and airbag actuation are some uses for sensors in the automobile sector. Customers' increasing desire for safety and luxury amenities has prompted manufacturers to include these elements in mid-segment vehicles as well. To function at high temperatures, these sensors will need protective conformal coating shields, which is driving the adoption of automotive conformal coatings.
