Global Optically Clear Resin Market Highlights Over 2022 - 2031
The global optically clear resin market is estimated to garner a large amount of revenue by growing at a CAGR of ~8% over the forecast period, i.e., 2022 – 2031. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for consumer electronics, such as smartphones and LCD televisions, and growing technological advancements in the adhesive industry. In 2021, the total number of smartphone users in the world were about 6 billion. Also, from 2016-2021, the total number of smartphone users grew at an average rate of 12% annually. Along with these, optically clear film adhesives have excellent adherence to a variety of transparent substrates. As a result, they are extensively used for increasing the electrical and mechanical performance of screens, including their contrast and brightness, which in turn is also expected to drive market growth significantly in the upcoming years. Furthermore, rising usage of the resin in display screens in aircraft cockpits is projected to significantly expand the market in the near future.
The market is segmented by end user industry into electrical & electronics, energy, automotive, aerospace, and others, out of which, the electrical & electronics segment is anticipated to hold the largest share in the global optically clear resin market. This can be accounted to the high utilization of the resin in touch screen and display applications for mobile devices, televisions and laptops. Apart from this, optically clear resins are used as a core material for improving the optical performance of displays and sensors, which is also predicted to boost the growth of the market segment in the future. Additionally, on the basis of resin type, the epoxy segment is assessed to observe robust growth during the forecast period owing to the high mechanical properties, ease of processing, and excellent adhesion to a variety of materials of this resin.

Major Macro-Economic Indicators Impacting the Market Growth
The chemical industry is a major component of the economy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, in 2020, for the U.S., the value added by chemical products as a percentage of GDP was around 1.9%. Additionally, according to the World Bank, Chemical industry in the U.S. accounted for 16.43% to manufacturing value-added in 2018. With the growing demand from end-users, the market for chemical products is expected to grow in future. According to UNEP (United Nations Environment Program), the sales of chemicals are projected to almost double from 2017 to 2030. In the current scenario, Asia Pacific is the largest chemical producing and consuming region. China has the world’s largest chemical industry, that accounted for annual sales of approximately more than USD 1.5 trillion, or about more than one-third of global sales, in recent years. Additionally, a vast consumer base and favorable government policies have boosted investment in China’s chemical industry. Easy availability of low-cost raw material & labor as well as government subsidies and relaxed environmental norms have served as a production base for key vendors globally. On the other hand, according to the FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry), the chemical industry in India was valued at 163 billion in 2019 and it contributed 3.4% to the global chemical industry. It ranks 6th in global chemical production. This statistic shows the lucrative opportunity for the investment in businesses in Asia Pacific countries in the upcoming years.
