Nano Copper Powder Market – Trends and Forecasts by Technavio

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#MetalsandMinerals–Technavio’s latest report on the global
nano copper powder market provides an analysis of the
most important trends expected to impact the market outlook from
2017-2021. Technavio
defines an emerging trend as a factor that has the potential to
significantly impact the market and contribute to its growth or decline.

Chandrakumar Badala Jaganathan, a lead analyst from Technavio,
specializing in research on metals
and minerals sector, says, “The market for nano copper is
beginning to materialize, as nano copper enabled products such as
lubricant additives and conductive inks have been introduced into the
market in recent years, and other products will also move further with
commercialization.”

The global
nano copper powder market is expected to reach USD 34.63
million by 2021, growing at a CAGR of more than 12%. Conductive inks and
lubricant additives are the early starters to incorporate and
commercialize nano copper based products. The ability to print nano
copper-based conductive inks in printed electronics will also be a key
factor that will spur the market for nano copper powder during the
forecast period.

The top three emerging trends driving the global nano copper powder
market according to Technavio research analysts are:

Nano copper for batteries and capacitors

Nano copper is one of the trending materials for electrodes in
batteries, capacitors, and supercapacitors. In the battery segment,
Li-ion batteries are the breakthrough and are dominating the segment
over the past two decades. However, Li-ion batteries are only used in
the portable electronics segment, and they have limitation to serve the
large-scale energy storage segment.

“Li-ion batteries are popular for high energy density storage within
small size. But, when it comes to storage on power grid lithium ion
batteries are expensive due to their high costs of components,”
according to Chandrakumar.

Copper nanofluids for diverse end-user markets

Nanofluids are the new class of fluids containing nanomaterial
dispersion in the base fluid. The nanomaterial dispersion may be in the
form of nanofiber, nanorod, nanowhisker, nanowire, nanosheet, or
nanopowder.

Nano copper powder based nanofluids have high conductivity and low
viscosity in a wide range of applications. Few challenges relating to
homogeneous dispersion of copper nanomaterials and base fluids,
stability of suspension, agglomeration, and nano copper shape and size
selection for attaining the desired properties play a vital role in the
performance of nanofluids.

Lead-free soldering materials to replace tin-lead solders

Currently, tin-lead (Sn-PB) alloy solder is the material of choice for
interconnect applications. However, due to environmental concerns
regarding the use of lead, which is inherently toxic and hazardous to
human and the environment, the use of tin-lead solders is restricted.

To obtain sufficient wetting by lead-free solders, the processing
temperature during electronic assembly must, therefore, be raised by
30°C-40°C. This temperature increase reduces the integrity, reliability,
and functionality of printed wiring boards, components, and other
attachments.

The key vendors are as follows:

• American Elements
• NanoAmor
• QuantumSphere
• Nanoshel
• Hongwu International Group
