Conductive Inks Market, By Type (Silver, Copper, Carbon Nanotube, Conductive Polymer, Carbon/Graphene), By Application (Photovoltaic, Display, RFID, Membrane Switch, Biosensor, Thermal Heating, Others), By Region (North America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Rest of the World) – Market Size & forecasting (2016-2025)

Rising technological advancements in the healthcare sector are expected to drive the growth of the conductive inks market during the forecast period. This has resulted in some of the key developments by companies operating in the market to consolidate their market positions and look for further niche opportunities.

Conductive inks are those inks that can conduct electricity and have the property of crease resistance and flexibility. They are mainly used in printed electronics. These inks comprise metallic particles that help the flow of the current across the circuit.

Segment Analysis: 

Based on the type it is divided into a silver, copper, carbon nanotube, conductive polymers, and carbon/graphene. The silver conductive ink is heavily used in many applications as it has high thermal conductivity and printability. But the cost of silver inks is considerably higher in comparison to its counterparts such as copper and it is also not easily available. Copper is being used as an alternative to silver as it is inexpensive and has a high electrical conductivity.

Based on the application, the market is segmented into photovoltaic, display, RFID, membrane switch, biosensor, thermal heating, and others. The application of these inks in RFID chips is the fastest-growing segment, as it leads to size reduction and efficient and faster production, which reduces the cost of production.

The APAC region is expected to have the highest demand for conductive inks in the coming years, due to the increasing disposable income and growth of the economies. Also, the use of the windshield sensor and Photovoltaic steadily increasing in this region is a major growth driver.
