Flexible heaters can be used in various aerospace, automotive, and transportation applications. These heaters are employed in commercial aircraft systems as well as in various subsystems, including battery heaters, fuel tanks and pipelines, and fluid delivery and control systems, to maintain temperature stability. Additionally, flexible heaters are esteemed for their remarkable resistance to corrosion, rendering them particularly suitable for use in demanding environments. Their ability to withstand exposure to oils, chemicals, and moisture ensures they do not rust, degrade, or support fungal growth, even in challenging conditions like the interiors of electronic components and industrial equipment. Thus, these advancements have broadened the application possibilities of flexible heaters. 

However, the design and development of flexible heaters require manufacturers to cater to the distinct demands of diverse industries. For example, the oil and gas industry operate in rugged and harsh environments. These necessitating heaters are tough, dependable, and resistant to extreme conditions such as high humidity, chemicals, and fluctuating temperatures. Consequently, this limits the adoption of flexible heaters and hampers market growth.
