Advanced functional materials (AFM) for low carbon applications include five categories of materials, namely advanced functional ceramics, advanced functional composites, advanced energy materials, conductive polymers, and nanomaterials. The European advanced functional materials market was valued at $23,512.02 million in 2012, and is projected to reach $29,859.88 million by 2018, at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2013. Advanced functional ceramics is among the key advanced functional materials.
AFMs reduce the carbon footprint of the component in which they are incorporated, in three different ways. They consume less energy during manufacturing process and have smaller carbon footprint during use and recycling. The demand for AFMs is derived from industries such as electrical & electronics, energy & power, automotive, aerospace, and healthcare & pharmaceuticals.
The European chemical industry is a significant part of the country’s economy. The industry is divided in four segments including base chemicals, specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and consumer chemicals. Germany is the largest chemical producer in Europe, followed by France, Italy, and the Netherlands. These four countries together account for 64.0% of the Europe chemical sales. In the past, most of Europe’s chemical industry growth was driven by domestic sales. However, recently, the country’s growth is dependent on both the domestic and the export market.
