Conducting Polymers Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Conducive polymers, also called intrinsically conducting polymers, are organic polymers with the capacity to conduct electricity. Monocyclic precursor polymers are oxidized to produce conductive polymers. Although these polymers offer high conductivity, they lack the same mechanical qualities. High electrical conductivity, strength, and durability are just a few of the qualities that conductive polymers provide.

Global Conducting Polymers Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Expansion of Inherently Conductive Polymers (ICPS)

Electrical insulators have historically been associated with carbon-based polymers. These polymers can be given some conductivity by incorporating small amounts of a conductive additive, typically carbon, nickel, or silver. When the resulting silvery film was doped with different oxidizing agents, it was discovered that the substance had changed into conductive. As a result, several additional conductive polymers were created. ICPs are electrically conductive polymers because they contain conjugated carbon-carbon bonds, which give these materials their conductivity. These conjugated polymer’s delocalized electron systems give them exciting and practical properties.

• Rising Demand from Automotive and Aerospace Industries

The global conductive polymer market is expected to grow quickly over the coming years due to the rapid growth in the electronic sectors. This growth is largely attributed to increasing awareness of protecting electronic component packaging from electromagnetic interference, static electricity, and other hazards. The excellent shielding properties of conductive polymers against electrostatic discharge and radio frequency interference have increased their use in packaging applications due to this factor. The demand for electronic devices grew along with the demand for conductive polymers, which fuelled market expansion.  In addition, both the lasers in televisions and the screens of mobile phones contain conductive polymeric fibers.

Opportunity

• Expansion of Electronics Sector

Conductive polymers are widely used in the electronics industry due to their low thermal conductivity and capacity to provide thermal insulation, boosting the market growth for these materials.  Dependence on electronics will inevitably increase as living standards rise, which is anticipated to fuel the market growth of conductive polymers throughout the forecast period. Through the conductive polymer’s potential use in battery-powered cars and their high energy density, this anticipated growth is caused. Furthermore, these materials produce lightweight structures for modern vehicles, essential in creating stiff, resistant, and light vehicles with improved safety.

Restraint/Challenge

• Low Adoption of Product Technology in Emerging Nations

While conducting polymers are becoming more popular across industries for some applications, developing countries still lack knowledge and awareness of the advantages of the products. In addition, the high price of conductive polymers restricts their use in developing nations such as China, India, and other South Asian nations. However, it is anticipated that manufacturers will be encouraged to innovate production technology to reduce costs and expand the use of conductive polymers throughout the automotive industry due to growing vehicle demand and an expanding electronics market in Asian countries.
