Smartphone Screen Protector Market Drivers

Government efforts to increase domestic production of smartphones

• Increased government initiatives to manufacture smartphones are anticipated to have a favorable effect on screen protector demand. Smartphone imports have raised costs and made it more difficult for people to use them widely. Nonetheless, governments from a number of nations have taken steps and offered incentives to support local smartphone manufacture and the production of its many components.

Spreading knowledge among users to prevent smartphone screen damage

• Another reason driving up demand for screen protectors is people' growing awareness of the importance of protecting their smartphone screens. Because they are pricey, premium cell phones must be handled carefully to avoid screen damage. The chance of mishaps damaging the screen has increased as screen usage time and frequency have increased.

Smartphone Screen Protector Market Restraints

Presence of a halo effect in screen protectors made of glass

• The edges of the screen protector that are separate from the phone are referred to as having a "halo appearance." A halo effect appears when users place the phone's screen protector made of glass or plastic over it. It lessens the screen's sensitivity and visibility. Moreover, adhesives on a screen protector make it easier to break and lose effectiveness when put under pressure. Furthermore, if handled carelessly, the pressurized adhesive component could break the screen guard and perhaps hurt the person. Changing the tempered glass screen guard is difficult because adhesives are used. In addition, plastic screen protectors lose clarity over time, giving off a cloudy appearance and a bad aesthetic.
