The plating on plastics market is the market for the technique of electroplating or other means of adding a metallic coating (plating) on plastic surfaces. The demand for plastic products with improved functionality, durability, and aesthetics in the automotive, consumer electronics, and other industries is driving this industry. To enable metal deposition, the plating procedure entails forming a conductive layer on the plastic surface. The process of plating involves applying a thin coating of metal, such as nickel or chrome, to a plastic surface. This is done to improve the plastic's electrical conductivity, durability, and/or attractiveness.
