The surge in global electroplating demand is propelled by expansion in automotive, electronics, aerospace, and industrial sectors. Key industries rely on electroplating to enhance the durability, corrosion resistance, and appearance of metal parts. For instance, nickel and copper are critical for automotive, electrical, and electronics components, while Asia Pacific dominates due to robust manufacturing and increasing investment in technological upgrades.

Government initiatives play a vital role, such as India’s Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme, which offers incentives for assembling and manufacturing, driving investments and production in components that often require electroplating. Additionally, Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes and focused support for MSMEs further fuel industry growth and employment, indirectly supporting the electroplating market’s development.

Key Market Trends & Insights:

Rise of Advanced Electronics Applications

The growing use of electroplating in high-performance electronics, such as smartphones, 5G infrastructure, and IoT devices, is fueling demand for precise and reliable coatings. The electrical and electronics sector currently leads the market, accounting for 36.5% share, driven by the miniaturization and durability requirements of circuit boards and connectors.
