Flexible Heater Market Size Worth USD 2.58 Billion in 2032

Vancouver, Jan. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The global flexible heater market size was USD 1.20 Billion in 2022 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period. Rising demand for flexible heaters in various applications for temperature range, insulation, and humidity control is a major factor driving market revenue growth.

Different types of industries have equipment and applications where fluctuating temperatures, humidity, or moisture may have an impact on how a component functions or processes signals. A product may also need to be at a specific room temperature to be processed. For example, a chemical that is a liquid or food item needs to be at the proper temperature range to be sufficiently fluid for packing into containers. Flexible heaters can be used to regulate humidity insulation. Various materials, including polyester, polyimide, and silicon rubber, are used to manufacture these types heaters.

Rising demand for ultra-thin flexible heaters is driving revenue growth of the market. Ultra-thin flexible heaters are used in industries with critical temperature applications between -200°C and 210°C. A clamp plate should be fitted above the heater for uses below -40°C so that the structure won’t be impacted by a shift in adhesion characteristics in cold weather. These adaptable heating elements are perfect for smaller applications owing to simple installation technique and good thermal characteristics. These heaters are more flexible than conventional flexible heaters as these types of heaters produce strong bonding produced by the heating components. Compared to heaters with foil imprints, this enables more effective and uniform heat transfer. The high-temperature capabilities of ultra-thin flexible heaters enable increased wattage for a quicker heat-up and warming-up time.

However, high operational and maintenance costs and limited heat output, and safety concerns are major factors, which could restrain revenue growth of the market. Flexible heaters have flexibility limitations; these heaters can be bent, but only to a particular extent, and only to a given radius. The heating component or electrical connections could be harmed by exceeding these limits, resulting in decreased performance or outright failure. Furthermore, heating elements could become worn out and eventually deteriorate if these are repeatedly stretched, compressed, or flexed under an excessive amount of pressure. These elements could be less suited to applications requiring continuous motion or significant mechanical loads since these heating elements are less durable and long-lasting, which could also hamper revenue growth of the market.

Segment Insights

Type Insights:

On the basis of type, the global flexible heater market is segmented into silicon rubber, mica, polyester, polyimide, and others. The silicon rubber segment accounted for largest revenue share in 2022. Silicone rubber heaters are portable, flexible, and can reach temperatures of up to 450°F. Being an adaptable heater, it may be attached to or connected to other system components with ease and incorporated with any surface that needs heating. The main advantage of these heaters is that these quickly and uniformly transfer heat. Flexible silicone heaters are regarded as being easy to deal with as these heaters are resistant to chemicals and dampness. These can be factory vulcanized for use on metallic surfaces and are suitable with both flat and curving surfaces. Silicone heaters can be built with thermostats, Real-time Digital Simulators (RTDs), thermocouples, or thermal fuses and can accommodate cut-outs and holes.

Application Insights:

On the basis of application, the global flexible heater market is segmented into automotive, electronics, aerospace, industrial, medical, consumer goods, and others. The automotive enterprises segment accounted for largest revenue share in 2022. Flexible heaters raise the temperature of the cold air inside a vehicle to maintain a temperature where people are at ease and every machine is operating without any issues. Any equipment that must heat the ground to clear snow, fog, or moisture can employ transparent flexible heaters. These transparency of heaters makes it possible to utilize them in goods that need a transparent surface. It can also be utilized in touch panels and the heating element can be taped. Its transparency would make the touch panel visible even in presence of dampness or fog.
