BOSTON, Nov. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — IDTechEx’s newly launched report “Conductive Ink Markets 2023-2033” comprehensively explores this significant materials expertise that underpins each photovoltaics and the rising area of printed electronics. Based mostly on interviews with over 30 corporations, the report assesses the marketplace for every of the 8 totally different conductive ink sorts throughout 15 totally different functions. Conductive ink sorts embody flake-based silver, nanoparticle-based silver, copper, stretchable/thermoformable, and particle-free, whereas functions embody photovoltaics, a number of kinds of printed sensors, versatile hybrid electronics (FHE), in-mold electronics (IME), and RFID/good packaging. This detailed segmentation offers 39 distinct forecast traces, offering a transparent image of the standing of the marketplace for every ink sort and future alternatives. The market as an entire is at the moment valued at US$2.7 billion and is forecast to develop to US$4.5 billion by 2033, with all this development coming from rising functions throughout printed/versatile/wearable electronics slightly than from silicon photovoltaics.
Main perception from interviews with particular person gamers, starting from established gamers to revolutionary start-ups, is included through over 30 detailed firm profiles that embody dialogue of each expertise and enterprise mannequin together with SWOT evaluation. Moreover, the report contains evaluation of conductive ink parameter house based mostly on a database of over 100 conductive inks that features curing time, conductivity, and viscosity. Along with the segmentation of suppliers by ink sort, this could help in gaining a complete image of the worldwide conductive ink market.
Technical Developments
Flake-based conductive inks are a longstanding expertise broadly used for metalizing the higher floor of photovoltaic panels for cost extraction. Nonetheless, this market is unlikely to maintain up with the expansion in PV panels, with new applied sciences growing to scale back the quantity of silver ink required. As an alternative, a lot of the expansion will come from rising functions throughout the printed versatile electronics house.
This broadening of the appliance house creates alternatives for rising conductive ink formulations that purpose to fulfill particular software necessities:
-
Particle-free conductive inks are metalized in situ, producing a clean, skinny conductive layer ideally suited to high-frequency EMI shielding and antennas. The very low viscosity additionally makes these inks ideally suited to high-resolution deposition strategies akin to aerosol printing.
-
Nanoparticle-based conductive inks supply greater conductivity, enabling extra compact circuit designs.
-
Liquid steel gel makes a great stretchable ink since there is no such thing as a enhance in resistance over time – the conductive liquid flows to accommodate the dimensional change. It’s primarily focused at wearable pressure sensors.
-
Copper-based inks with components that stop oxidation throughout sintering. These are gaining important traction, with main electronics producers operating qualification tasks. Copper inks are particularly appropriate the place price is the primary driver, akin to RFID/good packaging antennas.
Utility Alternatives
As a platform expertise for printed electronics, conductive inks might be utilized in a remarkably wide selection of functions, spanning market verticals starting from healthcare to power. This report divides the conductive ink software house into 15 segments, every outlining:
-
Introduction to the appliance.
-
Evaluation of technological and business standing.
-
Conductive ink necessities for that particular software.
-
Examples of conductive inks concentrating on that software.
-
Market forecast, together with the adoption of various ink sorts the place acceptable.
As a result of potential for each speedy development and specialist ink necessities enabling differentiation, a few of the most promising conductive ink functions are digital pores and skin patches, pressure sensors, and in-mold electronics (IME).
Outlook
The expansion in printed/versatile/hybrid electronics, particularly the place it allows new functions and even enterprise fashions, akin to digital pores and skin patches for distant well being monitoring and good packaging, will drive the expansion of the conductive ink market over the subsequent decade. Moreover, many rising functions, akin to in-mold electronics, e-textiles, and high-frequency antennas, have particular ink necessities that present a possibility for differentiation.
