by The global conductive ink market surged to approximately US$3 billion in revenue in 2021, driven primarily by the escalating demand in consumer electronics and the growing interest in smart clothing. The market is poised for stable growth in the coming years, underpinned by several key factors.
Smart Clothing Revolutionizes Sports and Beyond
The advent of wearable electronics has ushered in a new era for smart wearables, including clothing. Smart clothing is transforming industries like sports by enabling the collection of performance data for athletes, from Olympic contenders to soccer players and golfers. Recent studies by the Taiwan Textile Research Institute (TTRI) and the National Research Council of Canada (NRC)’s Advanced Electronics and Photonics (AEP) Research Centre have demonstrated the potential to embed electronic functionalities directly into garments using conductive ink. This innovation replaces traditional wiring and allows circuits to be drawn on various materials like films, paper, and textiles, all while ensuring their resilience to washing. Beyond sports, conductive inks in textiles offer opportunities for tracking daily activities and monitoring health conditions, such as heart failure, thereby enhancing overall quality of life.
Miniaturization Drives Consumer Electronics
The consumer electronics industry is witnessing a strong trend toward miniaturization, driven by consumer preferences for lightweight and compact electronic devices. Conductive ink emerges as an effective solution to replace conventional circuit arrangements and wiring, reducing the weight of electronic components while improving efficiency. This technology reduces material density, decreases component weight, and enhances ease of handling, all contributing to its growing demand and positively impacting the conductive ink market.
Silver-Based Inks Take Center Stage
Silver-based conductive inks are in high demand and expected to dominate the conductive ink market. These inks are favored for manufacturing high-performance electronic devices due to their superior thermal and electrical conductivity, as well as chemical stability. Their ability to conduct electricity in the oxide state has made them ideal for flexible and printed electronics, thanks to the low melting point of silver particles. This facilitates the production of thin conductive films used in flexible substrates, making silver inks a crucial driver of market growth.
Asia Pacific Leads the Charge
The Asia Pacific region is expected to lead in terms of revenue growth in the global conductive ink market. Increased adoption of conductive ink across industries like touch screens, photovoltaics, automotive, and microelectronics is a key driver. The growing purchasing power in emerging nations has led to higher sales of consumer electronics, further boosting demand for conductive ink. Additionally, the rise of electric vehicles in the region, as reported by the International Energy Agency (IEA), is expected to fuel the use of conductive inks, given their importance in electronic components for these vehicles. As environmental concerns push for renewable energy sources, the adoption of solar photovoltaics is on the rise, bolstering the conductive ink markets growth in the region.
Competitive Landscape
Major players in the conductive ink market are actively pursuing research and development initiatives, collaborations, and acquisitions to strengthen their positions and expand their product portfolios. Recent examples include Encres DUBUITs acquisition of POLY-INK, Electroninks Inc.s launch of MOD conductive ink solutions, Nano Dimensions introduction of next-gen nano particle conductive ink, and HydrogGraph Clean Power Inc.s patented graphene ink launch.
Leading players in the conductive ink market include DowDupont (US), Applied Ink Solutions (US), Sun Chemical Corporation (US), Henkel AG & Co. KGaA (Germany), Johnson Matthey (UK), Creative Materials Inc. (US), Heraeus Holding GmbH (Germany), Vorbeck Materials (US), and NovaCentrix (US).
