Market Segmentation
Advanced functional materials help to reduce the total electricity consumption through effective signal and power transmission to all connected components. The thin conductors or interconnects that are used in advanced functional material-based miniature electronics help overcome the signal propagation, and power loss issues of large PCBs, as well as thick, interconnects.Based on its types, the market can be divided into the following:
- Advanced Functional Ceramics
- Advanced Energy Materials
- Conductive Polymers
- Nanomaterials
- Advanced Functional Composites
- Others
The market can be broadly categorised based on its end-use segments into:
- Automotive
- Medical
- Industrial
- Aerospace and Defence
- Energy and Power (incl. Chemical Industry)
- Others
Market breakup by region
- North America
- Europe

Market Analysis
The production of lightweight, portable, and versatile substrate technological devices will fuel the demand for advanced functional materials in the coming years. The growing demand for miniaturisation and microelectronics has been identified as one of the critical market trends in the advanced functional materials industry that is expected to boost the industry growth. The highest demand for advanced functional materials are from the medical industry.The nanomaterial is the dominating type of material in the industry. The use of nanomaterials is continually increasing in the nanomedicine sector of the healthcare industry. Nanomedicine is the application of nanotechnology for diagnosis, tracking, drug delivery, treatment, and control of the biological systems.
The lack of market expansion and technical innovation, however, are expected to impede the growth of the industry in the coming years.
