Global Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Packaging Market Analysis

The rapid adoption of ESD packaging in a variety of end-use industries, such as defense and military, healthcare, manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace, is a major factor driving the global electrostatic discharge (ESD) packaging market. Furthermore, organizations' increasing investments in biodegradable electrostatic discharge packages is expected to open up lucrative potential for market growth throughout the forecast period.

Electrostatic discharge packaging is more expensive compared to other goods like anti-static bags and a few rub-off carbon black packaged products, which is expected to limit market growth over the projection period. Because the packaging is pricey and big, it is less affordable in the market. The packaging takes up a lot of space and is difficult to handle, which may limit the market's growth.

By region, Asia-Pacific market for electrostatic discharge packaging is expected to reach $1,812.10 million by 2030, growing from $813.40 million in 2021, at a CAGR of 9.39%. The regional growth is attributed to growing electrical and electronic gadgets and devices industries in the region which is also increasing the demand for electrostatic discharge packaging products.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Packaging Market Overview

Electrostatic discharge packaging is made of plastic which helps in reducing the static electricity and protects electro-sensitive devices or products that contain inflammable gases or liquids due to a variety of causes like other gadgets, friction, and even the weather. The electronic devices are packed inside a rigid black polyethylene box with poly foam around the package. ESD packaging is made to keep static electricity at bay, thereby ensuring the integrity of the contents inside the pack.

ESD packaging is also a good idea in electronics since integrated circuits are made of semiconductor materials like silicon and insulating materials that might be damaged by high voltages. To avoid this problem, integrated circuit manufacturers and users must take measures and utilize the proper packaging materials and printing procedures.

COVID-19 Analysis on Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Packaging Market

The pandemic is predicted to have a negative impact on the global electrostatic discharge packaging market. During the novel coronavirus outbreak, most of the electronic industrial sites were shut down due to the government-imposed lockdown. Also, the production of electronic devices was obstructed due to labor shortages, raw material supply, and other issues. These factors had a direct impact on the electrostatic discharge (ESD) packaging market. As the pandemic has forced certain industries to shut down, some temporarily and others permanently, the use of electrostatic discharge packaging has reduced drastically. However, predictions state that the demand for ESD packaging will increase after the pandemic settles.

Increasing Use of Electrostatic Discharge Packaging in Multiple End-use Industries is Predicted to be a Major Driving Factor for the Global Market

ESD packaging is used in automotive, defense & military, manufacturing, healthcare, and aerospace for various operational uses. With the help of ESD packages, the products can be securely transferred from one place to another, preventing electrostatic or static electricity from damaging electronic items in transit. When two differently charged items come into contact or even come close to one another, electrostatic discharge occurs. Electrostatic discharge can completely destroy any printed circuit board. Increased use of these packages by various end-use industries is predicted to drive the market in the forecast period. In addition, ESD packages provide safety to the product from inflammable liquids and gases. Such packaging materials are designed to promote the direct flow of electricity causing zero damage to the materials inside. ESD packaging is a safe and secure way of packaging which provides more safety as compared to other packages and hence, the market is predicted to grow in the forecast timeframe.

The cost of ESD Packages is Predicted to be a Major Restraint for the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Packaging Market

The cost of electrostatic discharge packaging is higher as compared to other products such as anti-static bags and a few rubs off carbon black packaged products, which is predicted to hinder the market growth in the forecast period. The packaging is expensive and bulky in nature, decreasing its affordability in the market. The packaging occupies huge spaces and is difficult to handle which can further restrain the growth of the market.

Biodegradable Electrostatic Discharge Package is Predicted to Create More Growth Opportunities for the Market in the Estimated Period

Increasing investments in biodegradable electrostatic discharge packages by a majority of companies is predicted to create more investment opportunities for the global ESD packaging market. The biodegradable packages cost less and are light weight in nature but these packages are in their experimental stages and need time to grasp the market. For instance, Croatia-based EcoCortec, in 2021, announced the world’s first biodegradable and compostable static-dissipative film.
