Surge in Electronics Industry to Boost the Market Growth of Conductive Polymers

Conductive polymers are being widely deployed in the electronics industry owing to the inherently low thermal conductivity of the polymers and their ability to provide thermal insulation, thereby enhancing the safety of many electrical appliances, which is driving the market growth of conductive polymers. Furthermore, conductive polymeric fibres are installed in lasers used in television and the screens of mobile phones. Thus, a surge in demand for electronic devices in 2020, owing to the long periods of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, positively added to the demand for conductive polymers, hence, invigorating the market growth. As standards of living improve, dependency on electronics is bound to rise, which in turn, is expected to augment the market growth of conductive polymers in the forecast period.

Rise in the Demand for Electric Vehicles to Bolster the Demand for Conductive Polymers

Conductive polymers hold a bright future with the emergence of battery-operated vehicles. They are extensively deployed in electric vehicles in components, such as capacitors, batteries and, sensors. Conductive polymers weigh less, are pocket-friendly, easy to mould, can be customised, and offer thermal stability that aids in keeping electric vehicles and engines cool. These factors have been invigorating the demand for conductive polymers in the electric vehicles sector. Owing to stringent government policies across the world and the rising environmental concerns owing to climate change, the demand for electric vehicles is anticipated to boost rapidly, owing to which the demand for conductive polymers is also expected to witness a growth.
