Adoption curves depend on achieving performance parity and price within single-digit premium ranges to match incumbents. Securing a few flagship conversions creates momentum and accelerates category adoption. Prioritize certification, end-of-life testing and converter alliances to de-risk supply chains and claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-section image-2_new_design\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BCG-Content-Questions-Image.svg\" alt=\"Explore a Preview\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"highlight-box\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-icon\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BCG-Content-Questions-Image-Icon-Color-1.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWater and wastewater microfiltration media\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater and wastewater microfiltration media sits as a Question Mark: global need is clear in 2024 amid aging infrastructure, but municipal procurement cycles remain slow (typically 18–24 months) and specs are exacting, making incumbents sticky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA differentiated performance-to-cost claim — e.g., demonstrated OPEX reductions of up to 15% and longer media life — could unlock share.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFund targeted pilots with municipalities and industrials (pilot budgets ~100k–300k) to prove lifetime value and accelerate adoption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-orange-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-box-orange-section4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title-row-orange-section\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BCG-Content-Questions-Image-Icon-Color-2.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eE-mobility thermal and acoustic management substrates\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-row-orange-section blur_box\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMativ’s e-mobility thermal and acoustic substrates sit in Question Marks: EV platforms are still standardizing material stacks and OEM approvals typically take 12–24 months, but once approved access is sticky; if Mativ meets weight, safety and cost targets, addressable revenue can scale quickly as EV content per vehicle rises—EV penetration reached about 18% of new car sales in 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"lst_crct\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCo-develop with Tier 1s to shorten approval cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure multi-year nominations to lock recurring volumes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTarget weight\/safety\/cost parity to enable rapid growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"get_full_prdct_green\" onclick=\"get_full()\"\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-box-orange-section4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title-row-orange-section\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BCG-Content-Questions-Image-Icon-Color-2.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFunctional papers for electronics and smart packaging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-row-orange-section blur_box\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFunctional papers for electronics and smart packaging show cool concepts but fragmented demand; pilot-to-scale conversion remained under 10% in 2024, so they need killer use-cases that scale beyond pilots.
