Conducting Polymers Market - Expected to Reach $6.7 Billion by 2022 - Research and Markets

The "Conducting Polymers Market - Global Forecast to 2022" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The global conducting polymers market is projected to reach USD 6.77 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 9.0% from 2017 to 2022. The growth in the market is triggered by the rising demand for smart electronics and ease of design flexibility offered by these polymers. There is a huge demand for miniaturization of electronic components by various end-use industries, which is also leading to a high demand for compact conducting polymers. However, the lower thermal conductivity of polymers as compared to conventional materials such as ceramics and metals acts as a major restraint for the market.

Based on type, the electrically conducting segment accounted for the largest share of the global conducting polymers market in 2016. This large share is mainly attributed to the strong demand from the electronics industry, especially for display devices, fuel cells, biosensors, and solar cells. There is a huge demand for inherently conducting polymers possessing conductive properties of their own.

Based on application, the ESD/EMI shielding segment is projected to lead the market between 2017 and 2022. Conducting polymers are widely used in the electronics industry for ESD/EMI protection because, during handling and/or storage, electronic components suffer damage due to the sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects. The high demand for conducting polymers from the electronics industry is expected to drive the conducting polymers market between 2017 and 2022.
