The OCA optical adhesive market has broad development space. The level of localization in my country’s market is continuing to improve.

OCA optical adhesive, Optically Clear Adhesive, refers to a special double-sided adhesive film used to bond two layers of flat optical components to each other without a base material. OCA optical adhesive has the advantages of high cleanliness, strong light transmittance, high adhesion, high bonding strength, low haze, good high temperature resistance, and strong UV resistance. It can be widely used in computers, mobile phones, wearable devices, and vehicles. In the display touch modules of central control, capacitive touch and other electronic products, its performance has a direct impact on the visual appearance, touch experience and terminal quality of the displayed images of downstream products.

According to different application scenarios, OCA optical glue can be divided into two categories: resistive OCA optical glue and capacitive OCA optical glue. Among them, resistive OCA optical glue is mainly used in resistive touch screens. Depending on the thickness, it can be subdivided into 20μm, 50μm OCA optical glue, etc.; capacitive OCA optical glue is mainly used in capacitive touch screens. Depending on the thickness, it can It is subdivided into 175μm, 200μm, 250μm OCA optical glue, etc.

Mobile phones and tablets are the main application areas of OCA optical adhesive. In recent years, as the penetration rate of domestic consumer electronics products market continues to increase, the demand for OCA optical adhesives continues to increase, which in turn promotes the continuous expansion of the market scale. According to the “2023-2028 OCA Optical Adhesive Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that my country’s OCA optical adhesive market size will reach 8.93 billion yuan in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 16.7%.

Wearable electronics and vehicle-mounted displays are emerging application areas for OCA optical adhesives. Under the current background of the gradual increase in the development trend of domestic automobile intelligence and the continuous increase in the penetration rate of the smart cockpit market, the continuous increase in the number of vehicle displays has driven the demand for OCA optical adhesives to continue to rise; at the same time, as flexible display technology continues to upgrade, more new types can The continuous emergence of wearable electronic devices such as smart watches, VR glasses, and smart bracelets has brought broader development space to the OCA optical adhesive market.

OCA optical adhesive has high technical barriers. It has high requirements for bonding strength, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, electromagnetic shielding and other indicators during production, making production difficult. At present, the core technology is still controlled by large enterprises in developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan. In their hands, they include Germany’s 3M, Germany’s Tesa, Japan’s Mitsubishi, Nippon Electric, etc., which occupy a major share of the global and Chinese markets by virtue of their technology and brand advantages, and have a low degree of localization.

OCA optical adhesive has irreplaceable advantages in high-tech fields such as electronics, automobiles, and aviation. Therefore, domestic companies are currently accelerating their entry into this field and continue to increase their efforts in key technology research. The main players in the domestic OCA optical adhesive market include Xinlun New Materials, Baoli New Materials, Zhengxian Industrial, Zhanxin Adhesive Materials, Rijiu Optoelectronics, Ji Zhi Technology, Jiayun New Materials, Fanset Materials, Stickix New Materials etc.

Industry analysts said that in recent years, as local companies have continued to introduce advanced technologies and accelerate the research and development process, Some Chinese companies have made great progress in the field of OCA optical adhesives, and are accelerating to seize domestic market share with their cost-effectiveness and local advantages, and the level of localization is continuing to improve. In the future, as local companies continue to increase their technological advantages, my country’s OCA optical adhesive market structure is expected to be reshuffled.
