As downstream industries such as home appliances, building materials, aviation, and electronics raise their standards for surface protection, the PE protective film market is shifting toward high-performance and functional products. Industry observers point out that properties such as anti-static capability, UV resistance, high-temperature tolerance (above 80°C), and acid-alkali resistance have become key differentiators. Companies capable of producing functional PE protective films are expected to gain a competitive edge.

At the same time, end users are demanding higher cleanliness, residue-free peeling, and easy removal. The transition from basic temporary protection to long-term and precision protection is driving the industry toward greater specialization.
