In terms of adhesive material, polyimides segment is estimated to contribute the 41.9% share of the market in 2024. Polyimides material used in bonding sheets has witnessed increased adoption due to its unique combination of properties that make it ideal for applications requiring high-performance adhesives. Polyimides offer excellent thermal and electrical insulation as well as resistance to moisture and chemicals. These can withstand temperatures as high as 400°C without degradation of properties. The heat resistance of polyimides allows them to perform reliably even under demanding operating conditions like those found in engine compartments. Another key advantage of polyimides is their flexibility and ability to form strong bonds on a variety of substrates including metals, ceramics and plastics. This compatibility with dissimilar substrates expands the scope of applications for bonding sheets. The flexibility of polyimide films also makes them suitable for applications requiring bonding of complex 3D shapes. Their flexibility and conformability allows polyimide bonding sheets to form tight, void-free bonds even on irregularly shaped components. Polyimide materials used in bonding sheets also demonstrate very high strength coupled with outstanding dielectric properties. This enables polyimide bonding sheets to reliably transmit electrical signals and protect electronic circuits from failure under harsh operating environments. Overall, polyimides offer the best balance of physical, chemical and electrical properties compared to other adhesive materials, giving it the highest market share.

Insights, By End Use: Electronics segment contributes the highest share of the market due to growing circuit complexity

Others (Electronics, etc.)Segment is estimated to account for the 42.6% share of the bonding sheet market. Advanced semiconductor packages with increasing numbers of miniature interconnects require ultra-thin, flexible bonding sheets to form uniform bonds over minuscule pitches and irregular surfaces within tiny footprints. Polyimide and acrylic bonding sheets are widely used in semiconductor manufacturing for applications such as die attach film, ultra-thin chip scale packaging (UCSP), wafer level chip scale packaging (WLCSP) and 2.5D/3D advanced multi-chip modules (MCM). Their properties like flexibility, dimensional stability and electrical insulation make them well-suited for complex, high density advanced packaging needs. As electronics become ever more compact with shrinking feature sizes and shortening design cycles, bonding sheets play a critical role in improving manufacturing yields and reliability of minute interconnects. Their adoption is growing with increasing miniaturization of chips and proliferation of applications like Internet of Things (IoT) devices, autonomous vehicles and mobile technology. Overall, the need for high-performance, ultra-thin bonding solutions drives the electronics segment's prominence in the market.
