Market Synopsis

The ESD trays market is expected to grow due to product advancements and growing demand for the trays in the various end-use industries such as automotive industry. Every year, nearly 6% of electrical products like printed circuit boards and semi-conductors have been broken by static electricity, which is produced by skin friction contacts or contact electrification between two electrically charged items. ESD trays are frequently used as sealed containers in the electrical & electronic industries for these reasons. ESD trays are in short supply in countries such as China, Taiwan, and South Korea to protect devices from external damage. Furthermore, rising per capita income around the world is increasing demand for luxury items such as high-tech vehicles, IoT-enabled home appliances, and the adoption of electric vehicles. All of these factors will be drivers for electrostatic discharge trays in the coming years.

The main impediment, however, is ensuring safety of the electronic components that can get hampered while transportation or due to the electrostatic discharge.

According to the regional analysis of the market, the Asia-Pacific ESD trays market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 8.9%, by generating a revenue of $336.7 million during the review period.

Electrostatic Discharge Trays Overview

The electrostatic discharge trays are thick clear plastics which are sturdy and can be easily customized with the required number of compartments that helps in maintaining the proper gaps between the equipment. ESD trays are majorly used for shipping, packaging, and storing of small electronic parts, PCB, circuit boards, and PCBA & electronic components prevent them from getting hampered.    

Impact Analysis of COVID-19 on the Global Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Trays Market

The novel COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the ESD trays market because all manufacturing units worldwide were closed and there was no import or export of raw materials or equipment for which ESD trays are primarily used. Furthermore, pandemic is expected to harm the global electrostatic discharge (ESD) trays market. Due to the government-imposed lockdown during the novel coronavirus outbreak, most consumer electronic industrial sites were shut down.

In addition, labour shortages, raw material supply, and other issues hampered the production of electronic devices. These elements had an immediate impact on the electrostatic discharge (ESD) trays market. As a result of the pandemic forcing certain industries to close, some temporarily and others permanently, the use of electrostatic discharge packaging has decreased dramatically.

However, after the pandemic has passed, the demand for electrostatic discharge (ESD) trays is expected to rise.   

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

Electrostatic discharge trays are commonly used in most manufacturing units due to their numerous benefits. Electrostatic discharge trays have excellent antistatic properties that prevent friction from generating antistatic current. Static sensitive products such as PCBs and PCBAs will be protected from electrostatic discharge damage by the trays. Electrostatic discharge trays are designed to provide hermetic protection from external humidity and static electricity flow. For example, leading ESD tray manufacturers are using current metal filler instead of additive, which has reduced production costs and increased the manufacturer's revenue margin. Furthermore, electrostatic discharge trays are widely used to transport and store static sensitive components, which is expected to fuel the market.
