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

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–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.
