Optical release film (OCA release film) is an important raw material for OCA optical adhesive. The market competition is fierce.

Optical release film, also known as OCA release film, refers to a release film made by coating a special release agent on optical grade PET polyester film. Optical release films have the advantages of high transparency, high gloss, good weather resistance, and good die-cutting performance. They can be used to produce OCA optical adhesives and are used in optical filters, optical lenses, reflectors, electronic screens, smartphones and other fields. More.

The base material of the optical release film is PET polyester film. Polyester film is a polymer material and has broad application prospects in new energy vehicles, consumer electronics, construction engineering and other fields. Driven by market demand, my country’s polyester film production continues to increase, and the industry is experiencing overcapacity in low-end and mid-end production and insufficient high-end production capacity. The quality of polyester films plays a decisive role in the performance of optical release films. In the future, with the accelerated pace of import substitution of high-end polyester films such as BOPET films in my country, the development trend of the optical release film industry will continue to improve.

According to the “2023-2028 China Optical Release Film (OCA Release Film) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center 》shows that optical release films are widely used in fields, including optical filters, optical lenses, reflectors, electronic screen displays, smartphones, etc., and OCA optical adhesive is its end product. As smartphone updates and iterations accelerate, consumers’ performance requirements for mobile phone displays continue to increase. OCA optical adhesive is mainly used to produce curved flexible OLED touch displays and flat OLED touch displays, which can meet the needs of lightweight and flexible mobile phone displays. As the prosperity of the OCA optical adhesive industry increases, the optical release film market space will be further expanded.

The global optical release film market is mainly concentrated in Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea. Leading companies include 3M Company of the United States, TOYOBO, TORAY, Mitsubishi Chemical, South Korea’s SKC Corporation (SKC), etc. Compared with overseas developed countries, my country’s optical release film industry started late, but many companies already have mass production capabilities.

There are many optical release film manufacturers in my country, and the market competition is fierce. Jiemei Technology, Shuangxing New Materials, Sidik, Dongcai Technology, Changyang Technology, etc. are representative enterprises of optical release films in my country. Sidik is my country’s leading enterprise in functional coating composite materials. Its main products include optical release films, OCA optical adhesives, PET optical films, polarizer protective films, etc. In recent years, Sidik has continuously increased its investment in the research and development of precision release films and already has multiple optical release film production lines.

          Industry analysts said that optical release films, as a segmented release film product, have excellent performance and are widely used. In the future, as the market demand for OCA optical adhesives grows, the development space of the optical release film industry will be further expanded. Compared with overseas developed countries, my country’s optical release film industry started late, but its development momentum is rapid. As local companies improve their independent research and development capabilities, the market share of high-end optical release films in my country will further increase.
