Asia-Pacific consumes over 70% of the conductive ink to cater to its large photovoltaic (PV), consumer electronic and printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing industry. Photovoltaic industry stands as the biggest consumer of conductive inks, but the recent over capacity, changes in governmental policies and fall in PV cell prices have slowed the growth of this segment, affecting the conductive market.
Growth for Alternative Conductive Inks, Silver Based Inks Still Dominating
Conductive ink industry is shifting from silver to other materials due to the rising and fluctuating prices of silver in the recent times. This has encouraged the conductive ink industry to explore and develop alternatives for silver such as copper, carbon/graphene, dielectric and conductive polymers-based conductive inks. Until the complete development of the other inks, silver flake-based conductive ink will remain as the largest segment with a market share of 73% in 2013.
