Liquid Crystal Polymer Market Size Worth $3.4 Billion By 2030

Liquid Crystal Polymer Market Growth & Trends

The global liquid crystal polymer market size is expected to reach USD 3.4 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 11.6% from 2023 to 2030. Growing demand for lightweight and miniaturized components on account of expanding transportation, electronics and automotive industries in emerging markets is expected to remain a crucial determinant for the global industry growth.

Increasing R&D investments coupled with rising product innovations in liquid crystal polymer (LCP) are some of the important factors boosting the growth of the market. The electrical and electronics end-use segment is dominating the LCP market owing to its enhanced dimensional stability, unique processability, and thin-wall flowability.

Increasing application scope in different industries coupled with consumer preference for lightweight and miniaturized electronic components including connectors, surface mount devices and others are the driving the demand for LCP. In addition, factors including minimal moisture absorption, abrasion resistance, thermal expansion, flexibility, environment-friendliness, and low cost of maintenance are attributed to the market growth.

The medical end-use segment registered the highest CAGR of 11.9% over the forecast period. This is owing to increasing investments in R&D to develop liquid crystal polymer (LCP) which is emerging as a substitute for metals and plastic in medical equipment’s and devices. Furthermore, growing prominence of technologies including 5G communication and 3D printing is propelling the demand for LCP as a material with a positive outlook for mobile phone antennas application. These factors are expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period.
