The process of plating on plastics encompasses electroplating plastic surfaces with diverse metals such as Aluminum, electric nickel, Bronze, copper, Cobalt phosphorus, silver, gold, etc. This method offers final products with both functional and ornamental benefits, ensuring uniform coating, durability, tightness, and a lightweight substrate. Gold and silver plating not only elevate visual attractiveness but also enhance resistance against corrosion and abrasion. The metal coating technique has progressed, incorporating dual-layer nickel systems to augment corrosion resistance and a micro-discontinuous Chromium device to enhance resistance against corrosion in nickel and chromium deposits during metallization.

Plating Type Outlook Chrome plating is the most commonly used metal for coating applications. Despite hexavalent chromium restrictions in the EU, trivalent chromium is widely employed for its environmental friendliness. Nickel, known for decorative purposes in the automotive industry, improves the appearance of both interior and exterior automotive components. Copper, due to its higher conductivity, is gaining importance for covering large plastic parts, providing both cost-effectiveness and aesthetic enhancement.

Plastic Type Outlook Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is the most widely used plastic type globally, known for its lower costs, ease of molding, high metal adhesion, and low thermal expansion coefficient. ABS/PC is anticipated to exhibit the fastest growth from 2019 to 2027, with its stable and ductile composition suitable for extreme temperatures. The PC/ABS phosphorus flame retardants have been developed to address environmental concerns related to halogen-based flame retardants.

Application Outlook The automotive industry pioneered nickel and chromium coating on plastic resins, leading to applications in mirrors, interior fittings, grille components, and more. Electronics industry applications primarily use copper, while nickel and nickel/chrome masking enhance the aesthetic appearance of electronic device plastic trimmings, cell phones, buttons, and switches. Plating on plastics is also gaining popularity in the plumbing industry due to its water resistance and corrosion-resistant properties.

Regional Outlook Europe dominates the market in terms of sales, driven by the automotive industry in the UK and Germany. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period, driven by the growing automotive and electronics industries in China, India, and Japan.

Market-O-Nomics

• Rising demand for lightweight materials in automotive, household, and electronics & electrical part manufacturing is driving industry growth.
