“Specialist chemicals and materials will reach over $50 billion in 2023”
The chemistry of the new electronics and electrics is key to its future,
whether it is invisible, tightly rollable, biodegradable, edible, employing
the memristor logic of the human brain or possessing any other previously-
impossible capability in a manufactured device. De-risking that material
development is vital yet the information on which to base that has been
unavailable. No more.
See how the metals aluminium, copper and silver are widely deployed, sometimes
in mildly alloyed, nano, precursor, ink or other form. Understand the 12 basic
compounds most widely used in the new electronics and electrics and compare
them with compounds exhibiting the broadest range of appropriate electrical
and optical functions for the future. Those seeking low volume, premium priced
opportunities can learn of other broad opportunities. Indeed, we cover in
detail all the key inorganic and organic compounds and carbon isomers. We show
how the element silicon has a new and very different place beyond the silicon
chip. Learn how the tailoring of a chosen, widely-applicable chemical can
permit premium pricing and barriers to entry based on strong new intellectual
property. For example, see which of 15 basic formulations are used in the
anode or cathode of the re-invented lithium-ion batteries of 131 manufacturers
and what comes next.
Most popular inorganic compounds in the new electronics by device family
Source: IDTechEx
We identify 37 families of new and rapidly-evolving electronic and electric
device, spanning nano to very large devices. Most chemical and material
companies wish to de-risk their investment by finding common formulations
across this new business that has a potential of over $50 billion for them.
This will reduce R&D cost and provide escape routes to sell their current
formulations elsewhere if they prove unsuccessful in the first application
addressed. Indeed, the biggest markets for new and reinvented electrical and
electronic devices may get commoditised first or collapse suddenly, leaving
the materials suppliers high and dry. Read this report to avoid such a fate.
