Liquid Metals Market Report 2025

The liquid metals market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.27 billion in 2024 to $2.48 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing reliance on advanced thermal management solutions, the rising adoption of automation, the growing use of 3D printing, the expanding adoption of wearable technology, and the increasing use of liquid metal alloys.

The liquid metals market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.5 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing construction of smart facilities, rising demand for innovative solutions, growing interest in artificial intelligence, a shift toward sustainable and eco-friendly materials, and a greater focus on minimally invasive procedures. Key trends during this period include advancements in autonomous driving technologies, enhanced thermal management solutions, the growth of advanced consumer electronics, strategic collaborations, and the integration of robotics.

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.

Liquid metals are metallic substances that remain in a liquid state at or near room temperature or under specific conditions. They possess high thermal and electrical conductivity, excellent fluidity, and distinctive mechanical properties, making them ideal for use in thermal management and advanced manufacturing due to their versatility and efficiency.

The main types of liquid metals include gallium, mercury, alloys, and others. Gallium is a soft, silvery metal that stays solid at room temperature but melts just above it, making it useful for various applications. These metals are available in different forms, including liquid, paste, and powder, and are distributed through direct sales, online platforms, distributors, wholesalers, and retail outlets. They are used in a range of applications, such as thermal management, flexible electronics, and 3D printing, and are employed across various industries, including electronics, healthcare, automotive, aerospace, and more.
