There are two main types of liquid crystal polymer films and laminates: films and laminates, while cinema is the most widely used type, accounting for about 67% of the global total in 2017.
The average price of global liquid crystal polymer (LCP) films and laminates has been declining from 14 US $ / kg in 2012 to 12.4 US $ / kg in 2017. If more capacity is put into operation, the price will show a downward trend, In the future, the price of raw materials will drop, and the global sales volume of LCP film and laminate will increase from 7,100 tons in 2012 to about 9,050 tons in 2017, representing a CAGR of 6.7%.
Japan is the world's largest consumer of LCP film and laminate in the past few years and will remain in the same position for years to come. The Japanese market accounted for about 38% of the global market in 2016, followed by the United States (27% ), Followed by China about 21%.
China, the United States and Japan are now major producers of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) films and laminates.Chinese manufacturers are inexpensive, poorly-prized and highly competitive.High quality products are mainly supplied by overseas producers.Lithin polymers LCP) Other major plants for films and laminates come from Europe and many more.
