Segment Analysis

The global wearable display device materials market has been segmented on the basis of substrates, adhesives, coatings, end-use industry, and region.

On the basis of substrates, the market has been categorized into glass, fiber, polycarbonates, and others. Among these substrates, the polycarbonates dominated the market in 2017. This can be attributed to the unique properties of polycarbonates such as lightweight, impact resistance, UV resistance, chemical resistance, and weatherability along with its high dimensional stability, mouldability, as well as has excellent heat resistance with a glass transition temperature of up to 148°C.

Based on the adhesives, the global market has been segmented into silicone, epoxy, acrylic, and polyurethane. The silicone adhesives segment is projected to showcase substantial demand on the backdrop of its excellent flexibility, high heat and temperature resistance, as well as adherence to a wide range of surfaces including plastic, metal, and glass.

By coatings, the global market has been categorized into parylene, superhydrophobic, piezoresistive, conductive, and others. The conductive coatings offer reduced coating thickness, improved electrical properties, good adhesion, durability, and design adaptability. Besides, they are available at a competitive price and have low VOC content, which are the primary factors fuelling the demand for conductive coatings.

On the basis of end-use industry, the global market has been segmented into smart glass, smart watches, wearable cameras, fitness trackers, and others. Among these, the smartwatches segment is expected to register a healthy CAGR during the review period as they can perform day-to-day tasks such as receiving phone calls, read and dictate text messages and e-mails, analyzing physical activities, and monitoring fitness and health-related activities.
