Liquid Metals Market Report 2026

The liquid metals market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.44 billion in 2025 to $2.65 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in electronics and semiconductor industries, rising adoption of liquid metals for cooling solutions, expansion in aerospace and automotive sectors, increasing use of mercury and gallium in industrial applications, development of alloy-based liquid metals for specialty uses.

The liquid metals market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.65 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for thermal management in electric vehicles, growth of flexible and wearable electronics, rising use in 3d printing and additive manufacturing, expanding applications in healthcare and biomedical devices, innovation in high-performance liquid metal alloys. Major trends in the forecast period include rising use of liquid metals in thermal management applications, increasing adoption in flexible electronics, growth of liquid metals for 3d printing and additive manufacturing, expansion of gallium and galinstan alloys for industrial uses, rising demand for indium, bismuth, and sodium-potassium alloys.

The growing development of smart facilities is expected to drive the expansion of the liquid metals market. Smart facilities are technology-driven buildings that integrate the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and automation to improve management, enhance user experiences, and save energy. The demand for energy-efficient and automated infrastructure is fueling the growth of these facilities. Liquid metal is used in smart facilities to improve thermal management and enable self-healing conductive systems in advanced infrastructures. For example, a report by TNS Electrical Solutions, a UK-based commercial electrical service company, in August 2024 revealed that the UK had 7.2 million smart homes, making up 24.4% of the country’s households. It is projected that by 2027, the number of smart homes will increase to 15.1 million, representing more than 50.2% of all UK households. As a result, the rise in smart facility construction is driving the growth of the liquid metals market.

Companies in the liquid metals market are focusing on technological innovations, such as 3D printing, to improve manufacturing precision, scalability, and cost-effectiveness while broadening industrial applications. 3D printing, an additive manufacturing technique, creates objects layer by layer from digital designs using materials such as metals, plastics, or ceramics. For example, in March 2024, Fluent Metal, a US-based 3D printing company, launched its liquid metal printing (LMP) technology and raised $5.5 million in venture capital funding. The company aims to transform metal additive manufacturing by using a drop-on-demand approach with wire feedstock, which produces high-quality metal parts in a single-step process. This method reduces material waste, cuts energy consumption, and overcomes the safety and regulatory challenges that traditional powder-based systems face.

In October 2023, Indium Corporation, a US-based materials manufacturing company, acquired Safi-Tech Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition enhances Indium Corporation’s low-temperature soldering portfolio by incorporating Safi-Tech's innovative supercooled liquid metal microcapsule platform. Safi-Tech Inc. is a US-based company specializing in liquid metal soldering solutions.
