Summary

Register for NanoMarkets' Q&A session on February 3rd 2012

NanoMarkets believes that the 2012-2013 period will be an important one for conductive coatings manufacturers. Once a staid and stable business, the conductive coatings industry has seen a steady demand for ESD and EMI/RFI coatings and new forms of energy storage, solar, energy-efficient lighting, and the rise of flexible and transparent displays, all with unique and challenging coatings requirements.

The industry is also seeing the emergence of nanomaterials and NanoMarkets is predicting that nanometals, graphene and carbon nanotubes will account for a sizeable part of the conductive coatings market in the not-to-distant future and that metal oxides and organic materials will make a greater impact on the conductive coatings market than ever before.

Clearly the business is changing, forcing companies to become more dynamic and responsive to new forms of energy and electronics.

In this report NanoMarkets examines and quantifies the opportunities for conductive coatings. As with all our reports, this study includes a detailed eight-year forecast of conductive coatings markets by application and material and it also contains a discussion of some of the key conductive coatings materials suppliers and their product/market strategies.

NanoMarkets has been providing analytical coverage of the conductive coatings market for more than four years and has developed an insider's knowledge of the factors that shape it.

Press Release

Positive Outlook for Conductive Coatings in New Energy and Electronics Markets, Says NanoMarkets

January 23rd, 2012

Global Information Inc. would like to present a new market research report, "Conductive Coatings in Electronics and Energy Markets" by NanoMarkets.

In a newly released report, industry analyst firm NanoMarkets states that the conductive coatings market has morphed from a stable, established business ecosystem into a more dynamic and important growth opportunity for materials companies as new forms of electronics emerge. The report titled, "Conductive Coatings in Energy and Electronics Markets- 2012" estimates that the total market for conductive coatings will grow at a CAGR of about 10% from a value of $9.5 billion (USD) in 2012 to approximately $13.8 billion in 2016.

About the Report:

This report analyzes the opportunities for emerging conductive coatings in various electronics markets. The major focus of the analysis is on growth opportunities in electronics applications for new kinds of materials, such as alternative transparent conductive oxides, nanometals, carbon nanomaterials, conductive polymers, and the like. The forecasts also contain projections for the legacy, large-volume conductive coatings materials such as ITO, metals, and conventional carbon. The major application markets covered are coatings used in displays, solar panels, energy storage, EMI/RFI shielding, and ESD/antistatic protection.

The report also discusses the strategies of some of the important suppliers of novel conductive coatings product, especially those in the emerging nanomaterial-based coatings sector. Firms discussed include Agfa, Cambrios, Carestream Advanced Materials, Cima NanoTech, Enthone, Heraeus, Linde Group, PolyIC, Saint Gobain, Toray, Unidym, Vorbeck Materials and others.

From the Report:

The display industry is looking for the next big thing beyond LCDs and new forms of conductive coatings will be an important factor in the development of flexible and transparent displays, as well as OLEDs and touch-screen based products. The display sector is where conductive coatings suppliers can expect to see the greatest opportunities going forward since the PV sector clearly has its work cut out for it in light of subsidy reductions, oversupply, Chinas emergence and Indias domestic manufacturing policies.

On the materials side, the biggest news is the coming-of-age of nanomaterials for electronics applications. Finally, these materials based on nanoscale metallic particles or CNTs and graphene have serious commercial drivers and in the report nanomaterials are projected to see the biggest growth rates in our forecasts reaching $1.2 billion by 2016.

The increasing multi-functionality of all consumer electronics, and the ubiquity of wireless computing and communications is fueling growth in conductive coatings for energy storage applications as well continuing to drive demand for coatings used for EMI/RFI shielding and/or ESD protection of devices. And by 2016, NanoMarkets expects to see revenues for conductive coatings used for energy storage devices reach $1.4 billion and for EMI/RFI and ESD protection reach $2.9 billion.
