Global Liquid Crystal Polymer LCP Overview

Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) Market is expected to grow at a significant rate by 2025, at an estimated CAGR of 4.88%

Liquid-crystal polymers (LCPs) are a group of aromatic polymers. They are inert and unreactive, perform well under harsh environments, and resistant to fire. LCPs provides high resistance to electricity, heat, and tolerance to chemical-resistance. These features permit these components to perform well even if being resistant towards strong chemicals and towards harsh environment making them capable of tolerating extreme heat conditions as well as.

Global Liquid Crystal Polymer LCP Drivers & Restraints

Demand for electronic and durable electrical products coupled with its high-quality in emerging economies is driving the growth of the liquid crystal polymer (LCP) market. LCP is broadly used in the automotive industry owing to its low weight, high strength, and abrasion resistance features. LCPs can replace materials such as metals, ceramics, composites, and other plastics due to resistance to almost all weathering, radiation, chemicals, and fire. Moreover, growth in demand for engineering resins to produce ultra-thin electrical components is projected to remain a key booster for the target market. Furthermore, an increase in demand for lightweight and high-performance materials from the automobile industry to manufacture fuel-efficient vehicles is propelling the growth of the global market. Also, reduce carbon emissions is projected to positively impact on the global market growth. Conversely, relatively high cost of LCPs is a major factor restraining the growth of the target market.
