The silver reflective film market continues to expand, with LCD being its main demand end

Reflective film refers to a film used to completely reflect light. It is usually divided into two categories: fully dielectric reflective film and metal reflective film. Metal reflective films include gold reflective films, silver reflective films, aluminum reflective films, etc. Silver reflective films are also called silver-plated reflective films, which refer to reflective films whose metal material is metallic silver (Ag). Silver reflective film has the advantages of high reflectivity and low light loss, and is widely used in mobile phones, computers, TVs, LCD monitors, lighting devices and other fields.

​​ ​ ​ Silver film is an important component of silver reflective film, but it has problems such as poor adhesion and easy oxidation. A transition layer and protective film need to be added to its surface to ensure the quality of the finished product. Aluminum oxide and chromium oxide are the main materials of the silver film transition layer. Aluminum oxide has the advantages of wear resistance, high temperature resistance, good chemical stability, and high hardness, making it an ideal material for the silver film transition layer. my country is the world’s largest producer of alumina. As the industrial structure continues to be optimized, the output of high-quality alumina continues to increase, which provides favorable conditions for the development of the silver reflective film industry.

In recent years, the country has attached great importance to the development of the silver reflective film industry and introduced many policies to support it. In December 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Guidance Catalog for the First Batch Application Demonstration of Key New Materials (2021 Edition)”, which clearly included silver reflective films in the category of new electronic and chemical materials. In this context, my country’s silver reflective film will have broad market prospects.

Silver reflective membrane is a optical film segment product, which is widely used in electronic products, lighting devices, LCD LCD display and other fields. At present, my country has become the world’s largest LCD producer and consumer. In 2022, my country’s LCD production capacity will reach approximately 210 million square meters, setting a record high. With the rapid development of downstream industries, the market demand for silver reflective films in my country is increasingly strong. According to the “2023-2028 China Silver Reflective Film Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, In 2022, my country’s silver reflective film market will reach 470 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.1%.

Ningbo Jizhi Technology Co., Ltd., Ningbo Boyang Technology Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Da Membrane Technology Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Yasheng Industrial Materials Co., Ltd. are the main manufacturers of silver reflective films in my country. Jizhi Technology focuses on the research and development, production and sales of optical films, and has now become the leading enterprise of silver reflective film in my country. According to the financial report of Ji Zhi Technology Company, in the first three quarters of 2022, the company achieved revenue of 1.53 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14.8%.

          Industry analysts said that silver reflective film has extremely high reflectivity, and as an optical film, it is widely used in the LCD field. In recent years, as the prosperity of the electronic product industry has improved, the LCD market demand has increased, bringing broad development space to the silver reflective film industry. Benefiting from national policy support and the continuous breakthroughs in production technology of local companies, the development speed of my country’s silver reflective film industry continues to accelerate. It is expected that my country’s silver reflective film industry will develop in a high-quality direction in the future.
