Protective film is a material that protects surfaces that are susceptible to damage: minor or moderate abrasions to scratches and more. Protective films were originally developed with military applications in mind.
With the fast growth of electronics, building materials, and packaging industries, demand for product surface protection has surged. As a key material, protective film has expanded its market scale—global sales rose 15% year-on-year in 2024. PE and PET series protective film have become mainstream, with their application scenarios expanding to high-end manufacturing.
In PE series, PE Protective Film for Plastic Sheets is a top choice for plastic sheet makers, thanks to its strong adhesion and scratch resistance. A manufacturer noted, "We rely on PE Protective Film for Plastic Sheets to protect acrylic and PC sheets during transport and processing; it leaves no residue and boosts quality." The firm buys over 500,000㎡ of PE Protective Film for Plastic Sheets monthly, and demand keeps growing as production expands—PE Protective Film for Plastic Sheets is now irreplaceable in its supply chain.
PE Self-Adhesive Protective Film is widely used in furniture, home appliances, and electronic casings for easy use and stable adhesion. In home appliance workshops, workers attach PE Self-Adhesive Protective Film to fridge and washer casings to prevent damage. A brand’s purchasing manager said, "We have strict adhesion requirements for PE Self-Adhesive Protective Film—it must stick firmly but peel easily. Our current PE Self-Adhesive Protective Film meets this, with great aging resistance." It also protects mobile and tablet casings, and its market demand grows 20% yearly.
PET Protective Film stands out in high-end fields like displays and optical lenses for high strength, heat resistance, and transparency. Liquid crystal display production needs PET Protective Film at every step—it handles high temperatures and doesn’t affect testing. A tech director said, "Our PET Protective Film has good physical properties and antistatic effects, critical for display yield (over 99.5% qualification)." It’s also used in car 中控 and smart watch screens; as high-end electronics grow, PET Protective Film’s potential and R&D gain focus.
Experts predict the protective film industry will move toward high performance, eco-friendliness, and customization. PE Protective Film for Plastic Sheets will have material-specific versions, PE Self-Adhesive Protective Film will be low-VOC and recyclable, and PET Protective Film will advance in thinness and anti-fingerprint features. With more attention to surface protection, the protective film market will grow—PE Protective Film for Plastic Sheets, PE Self-Adhesive Protective Film, and PET Protective Film will drive industry development.
