Why is Worldwide Demand for Conductive Polymers Soaring?

The rising consumer preference of high-performance and lightweight electronic products is driving the demand for conductive polymers across the world. These polymers are extensively used in wearable and flexible electronics, cell phones, various flexible inorganic semiconductors, laptops, displays, and other gadgets. With the surging income of people in emerging economies, such as China, the use of conductive polymers in the manufacturing of lightweight electronic products will shoot up in the forthcoming years.

Besides, the ballooning requirement for conductive polymers in the fields of healthcare, chip packaging, medicine production, electromagnetic interference (EMI), display material manufacturing, plastic transistors, sensors, electrical appliances, ultra-capacitors, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) is also expected to propel the progress of the conductive polymers market. Additionally, the burgeoning need for conductive polymers in the field of corrosion control coating, on account of their biodegradable characteristics and conductive ability, is also expected to fuel the surge in the industry’s value from $4,441.7 million in 2017 to $7,341.2 million by 2023.

Furthermore, the market will advance at a CAGR of 8.7% between 2018 and 2023, as per the estimates of the market research company, P&S Intelligence. Inherently conductive polymers, polyphenylene based resins, polyaniline, and polycarbonates are the most widely used types of conductive polymers across the world. Out of these, the requirement for inherently conductive polymers is predicted to rise at the fastest pace in the upcoming years. This is credited to its several applications in electromagnetic interference (EMI)/radio frequency interference (RFI) shielding, antistatic coating, and RFID.

Geographically, the demand for conductive polymers is predicted to rise sharply in Europe and North America in the coming years. This is credited to the mushrooming use of these polymers in sensors, batteries, and various electrical applications in the automobile industry. In addition, the rising urbanization rate is also pushing up the demand for conductive polymers in the region. Asia-Pacific (APAC) and Rest of the World (RoW) are also witnessing a massive rise in the demand for conductive polymers, owing to their usage in applications, such as capacitors, actuators, sensors, display devices, and textiles.

In the APAC region, the sales of these batteries are predicted to soar massively in China in the upcoming years. This will be because of the existence of several conductive polymer producers, such as Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) and The 3M Company, rising requirement for electrostatic coatings on window panes and door panels, especially in the residential construction sector, and booming electronics industry in the country. In the RoW region, the demand for these polymers is soaring in Brazil. 

Hence, the demand for conductive polymers will surge sharply in the coming years, primarily because of their growing usage in various electronic appliances.

Solar Encapsulant Industry Set to Exhibit Huge Expansion in Future

Image
The widescale installation of photovoltaic (PV) modules, continuous research and development (R&D) in solar cell technologies, and advent of crystalline silicon solar technology are expected to drive the market for solar encapsulant at a CAGR of 28.4% during the forecast period (2018–2023). The market generated a revenue of $1,036.0 million in 2017 and it is projected to generate $4,555.4 million by 2023. Moreover, the escalating awareness among people regarding the benefits of the solar cell technologies will propel market growth in the coming years. One of the prominent trends currently being observed in the solar encapsulant market is the rising incorporation of thin-film solar cell technology. This is mainly credited to the fact that the conventionally used crystalline silicon solar technology-based solar modules have high production costs and fragile nature. In addition to this, the thin-film solar cell technology has lower costs than the crystalline silicon solar technology ...
