The global Flat Flex Cable Market Growth is Accelerated by Increasing Demand for Portable Electronic Devices

Flat flex cables are an integral part of portable electronic devices owing to their flexibility and capability to withstand repeated flexing and installation into tight spaces. They provide efficient conduction of electrical signals between printed circuit boards and internal components in various applications such as cell phones, tablets, wearable devices and laptops.


The global Flat Flex Cable Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 492.7 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 2.0% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.


Market key trends:



The increasing demand for portable electronic devices is expected to significantly drive the growth of flat flex cable market over the forecast period. Flat flex cables offer several advantages such as reduced weight, compact size, resistance to stress cracking and flexibility which make them suitable for use in various portable consumer electronic devices. As the demand for smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other compact devices continues to grow globally, more manufacturers are focusing on developing increasingly thin and lightweight designs which is augmenting the adoption of flat flex cables. According to the report by Coherent Market Insights, the global smartphone sales reached over 1.5 billion units in 2020 and are projected to reach nearly 1.8 billion units by 2025, thereby paving the way for increased consumption of flat flex cables during the forecast period.


Segment Analysis


The flat flex cable market is segmented into pitch size, end-user industry, and geography. Based on pitch size, the 1.25-1.00 mm pitch is the dominant segment as this pitch size is widely used in consumer electronics devices like cameras and smartphones due to its compactness. It allows design of thinner and smaller form-factor electronic devices.
