The oxide coating market is growing rapidly and the industry has huge development potential

Oxide coating, the full name of oxide evaporated film, also known as ceramic evaporated film, refers to using plastic film or paper as the base material, SiO, SiO2, Al2O3 and other oxides as evaporation materials, through physical vapor deposition or chemical vapor deposition The deposition method causes the oxide to vaporize and evaporate to form a thin film on the surface of the substrate. Oxide coating has the advantages of high transparency, excellent barrier properties, environmental protection, good fragrance retention, strong temperature resistance, high microwave penetration, good corrosion resistance, and strong adaptability to metal inspection. It is widely used in food, medicine, chemical industry, electronics, etc. The field of application is relatively wide.

From the upstream of the industrial chain, substrates, evaporation materials, and coating machines are the main raw materials and production equipment for oxide coatings. Common substrates mainly include PP, PET, PA, etc., among which PET is widely used. In 2022, domestic PET production has exceeded 2.9 million tons; evaporation materials mainly include SiO, SiO2, MgO, etc., of which domestic SiO2 production in 2022 has exceeded 2 million tons. Overall, my country’s current market supply of base materials and evaporation materials is relatively sufficient, creating favorable conditions for the development of the domestic oxide coating industry.

But in terms of production equipment, my country’s coating machines are currently mainly concentrated in the mid- to low-end market, and high-end coating machine products still need to be imported from Japan, the United States, Germany and other countries. Therefore, in order to ensure the continuous development and upgrading of the oxide coating industry, local related companies need to accelerate the improvement of their technical level and competitiveness in the future, and there is huge room for industry growth.

From the downstream of the industrial chain, meat products are one of the important application areas of oxide coating. The use of oxide coating to package meat products can effectively slow down product oxidation, inhibit microbial growth, and extend product shelf life. At present, under the background that the advantages of oxide coating are constantly highlighted, its market penetration rate is constantly increasing. According to the “China Oxide Coating Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center , my country’s oxide coating market growth rate will exceed 15% in 2022.

Oxide coating was first invented by DuPont. Since the 21st century, it has continuously penetrated into the markets of developed countries such as Japan, the United States, and Europe. The industry has now entered a stage of rapid development. Therefore, the current global oxide coating market is dominated by companies from developed countries, including Flex Product of the United States, Coveris of the United States, Leybold of Germany, etc.

Industry AnalysisPersonnel said thatoxide coating, as one of the high-barrier film market segment products, is currently driven by the continuous development of its application fields, its market penetration rate continues to increase, and the industry development potential is huge. However, my country’s oxide coating industry started relatively late. There is still a large gap between domestic companies and foreign companies in terms of technology, equipment, product quality, etc. In the future, local companies will need to accelerate the improvement of production technology and product innovation capabilities to promote the rapid development of the industry. develop. The main oxide coating companies in my country include Foshan Cailong, Beijing Noblely, Beijing Tim New Materials, Huangshan Yongxin, Zhejiang Changyu, Jiangxi Ketai, Guangdong Weifu, etc.
