The silver sintering paste market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.33 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. During the forecast period, growth is expected to be driven by increasing demand for miniaturized electronics. Other contributing factors include a growing focus on electric vehicles, rising investments in 5G infrastructure, expansion of medical device manufacturing, and greater adoption in aerospace applications. Key trends in this period include technological advancements in the sintering process, process innovations, increased research and development investments, integration of automation, and material innovations.

The increasing adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles (EV/HEV) is expected to drive the growth of the silver sintering paste market. Electric and hybrid vehicles use electric power alone or in combination with an internal combustion engine for propulsion. The demand for these vehicles is rising due to environmental concerns, as consumers and governments seek cleaner alternatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Silver sintering paste supports EV/HEV performance by providing high electrical and thermal conductivity, enabling efficient power flow and heat management in EV power modules, which enhances reliability and extends battery life. For example, in August 2024, the US Energy Information Administration reported that combined sales of hybrid vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) grew from 17.8% of total new light-duty vehicle sales in the first quarter of 2024 to 18.7% in the second quarter.

Companies in the silver sintering paste market are focusing on advanced techniques, such as proprietary nanoparticle design, to improve thermal conductivity and bonding strength. Proprietary nanoparticle design involves engineering nanoparticles with specific sizes, shapes, surface characteristics, or compositions tailored for optimal performance. In May 2023, Toyochem Co. Ltd., a Japan-based polymers and coatings company, introduced sintering nano-silver pastes for automotive power electronics. These pastes feature proprietary nanoparticle and dispersion technologies, offering strong bonding and high thermal conductivity of around 300 W/m-K. They provide a lead-free alternative to traditional solder, supporting high-voltage silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) components in EV inverters and battery charging circuits.

In January 2025, Haitian Water Group, a China-based environmental services company, acquired Heraeus’s solar silver paste business in China and Singapore for $68.8 million (RMB 502 million). This acquisition enables Haitian Water Group to enter the silver paste industry and leverage Heraeus’s expertise to access the growing photovoltaic market while addressing efforts to reduce silver usage. Heraeus Holding GmbH, based in Germany, specializes in precious metals, materials, and specialty products, including silver sintering paste.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The intensifying U.S. tariffs and escalating trade tensions in spring 2025 are expected to have a significant impact on the chemicals sector, which is bearing a disproportionate burden, particularly from tariffs on petrochemicals and intermediates, where affordable domestic substitutes are often unavailable. Producers of specialty chemicals, heavily dependent on Chinese raw materials, are experiencing production disruptions. At the same time, fertilizer manufacturers are seeing profit margins eroded due to tariffs on phosphate imports. In response, companies are ramping up R&D into bio-based alternatives, forming procurement alliances to consolidate buying power, and shifting production to tariff-neutral nations such as Saudi Arabia.

Silver sintering paste is a conductive material made of silver particles suspended in a solvent or binder, designed to form strong metallic bonds at relatively low temperatures. It is used to create highly reliable electrical connections in electronic devices, power modules, and high-temperature applications, providing superior conductivity and thermal stability compared to traditional soldering methods.

The main types of silver sintering paste include nanoparticle silver paste, micron-sized silver paste, and hybrid silver paste. Nanoparticle silver paste consists of nanoscale silver particles suspended in a carrier medium, used to form highly conductive and thermally stable electrical connections in electronic and power devices. These pastes are distributed through online, offline, and direct sales channels. They are applied in die attachment, interconnects, thermal management, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. Key end-use industries include automotive, consumer electronics, industrial electronics, renewable energy, aerospace and defense, medical devices, and LED lighting.
