According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Conductive Inks Market is accounted for $3.54 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $4.94 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period. Conductive ink is an electrically conductive and printable ink that is used in printed objects or electronics. Conductive ink results in a printed object, which conducts electricity. It is produced by infusing conductive substrates into ink. The ink is created by infusing conductive material such as silver or graphite into the ink, which enables electrical conduction. The conductive ink has various applications including RFID, antenna, sensors, touch screens, printed heaters, and photovoltaic cells such as perovskite, CIGS, and silicon heterojunction solar cells.
According to the Statistical Review of World Energy 2023, the world's installed photovoltaic power capacity stood at 1053.12 gigawatts, registering an increase of 22.2% in 2022 as compared to 861.54 gigawatts in 2021.
Rapid growth in the electronics industry
Rising consumer preference for more efficient and lightweight electronics products has prompted manufacturers to seek new innovative methods and materials for manufacturing miniaturized electronic components. This includes utilizing conductive ink to manufacture printed electronic devices such as organic biosensors, IoT sensors, RFID tags, touch displays, thin-film PV cells, and printed heaters. With the emergence of various new technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G networks, it is anticipated that more individuals and businesses around the world will upgrade their outdated electronics.
Price volatility of silver
The silver is a highly sought metal in the electronics sector owing to its high conductivity and oxidation stability. Typical examples of applications that use silver-based ink are printed and flexible electronics, which have grown in popularity in recent years. However, the increasing cost of silver has prompted a need to either minimize or replace the usage of this expensive metal. Silver price fluctuations have led manufacturers to shift their focus to alternative low-cost conductive metals, such as aluminum copper, and graphene. The offered alternatives have qualities that are not comparable to silver due to their inferior properties, thus restricting market growth potential.
Development of new conductive polymer ink
A new conductive n-type polymer ink is developed that is stable in air and at high temperatures. The new n-type material is in the form of ink, with ethanol functioning as the solvent. The ink may be deposited by merely spraying the solution onto a surface, making the production of organic electrical devices simpler and less expensive. The development paves the way for innovative conductive inks for printed electronics that are highly energy efficient. The doping technique may be used to manipulate the electrical properties of conducting polymers to achieve the desired functionality. Moreover, according to the researchers, the newly developed electrically conductive polymers would enable the development and mass production of lightweight and flexible electronic devices, including transistors, organic biosensors, light-emitting diodes, and solar cells.
High-end technology requirements
The conductive inks are produced by incorporating distinct types of metals such as copper and silver or by using carbon particles. Carbon particles are preferred in most of the applications as they offer numerous technical properties at a low cost. Compared with other metals, carbon inks have relatively less and unreliable conductivity. The major factor acting as a constraint for the conductive inks market growth is the lack of chemical compatibility with most of the polymers, which is necessary to provide mechanical endurance. Moreover, there is a need to develop technologies that can impart long-term stability of conductive inks for commercial purposes.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the conductive ink market. Initially, disruptions in the global supply chain and reduced manufacturing activities led to a decline in demand. However, as the pandemic progressed, the market seen a resurgence due to increased demand for electronics and medical devices, such as sensors and testing equipment, which use conductive inks. Additionally, the shift towards remote work and digital communication boosted the electronics sector, further driving the market's recovery. Enhanced focus on technological advancements and new product developments also played a role in stabilizing and revitalizing the conductive ink market post-pandemic.
