A conductive ink (CI) is a thermoplastic viscous paste that conducts electricity by inculcating conductive materials such as silver and copper. This ink comprises binder, conductor, solvent, and surfactants used during its manufacturing process. The Asia-Pacific conductive inks market was valued at $2,349.2 million in 2012, and is projected to reach $2,654.6 million by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 3.0 % from 2013. Asia-Pacific conductive inks market has grown considerably during the past few years and is expected to grow at a more rapid pace in the next five years. Silver flakes are the major type of conductive inks, and has a huge demand in Asia-pacific.
The binder helps to clutch together all conductive materials in the ink and provides a strong support to the product. It is particularly used in the applications which require high reliability and flexibility. The conductor is another important part of the ink which allows the passage of electricity. The different types of conductors used in conductive inks are silver, copper, nickel, aluminum, and so on. Similarly, the solvent is used for the formation of solution, whereas the surfactants help in uniform mixing of the ink. Conductive inks have various applications such as photovoltaic, membrane switches, automotive, RFID/smart packaging, bio-sensors, printed circuit boards, and other applications.
The continuous rise in production of end products for use within the region and for exports derives a huge demand for the chemicals. The growing demand and policies including emission control, environment friendly products, etc., have led to innovation and developments in the industry, making it a strong chemical hub globally. The exorbitant growth and innovation along with the industry consolidations are expected to ascertain a bright future for the industry in the region.
