導電油墨是導電的可印刷油墨,用於印刷材料和電子設備。導電墨水產生導電的印刷材料。它是通過將導電基材注入墨水中而製成的。透過用銀或石墨等導電材料浸漬墨水,可以實現導電。導電油墨具有多種應用,包括 RFID、天線、感測器、觸控螢幕、印刷加熱器和光伏電池,如鈣鈦礦太陽能電池、CIGS 太陽能電池和矽異質結太陽能電池。
根據《2023年世界能源統計年鑑》顯示,2022年全球太陽能發電裝置容量為1053.12吉瓦,較2021年的861.54吉瓦成長22.2%。
電子工業快速成長
消費者對更有效率、更輕的電子產品的偏好增加,促使製造商尋求新的創新方法和材料來生產微型電子元件。這包括使用導電油墨生產印刷電子設備,例如有機生物感測器、物聯網感測器、RFID 標籤、觸控顯示器、薄膜太陽能電池和印刷加熱器。隨著物聯網 (IoT) 和 5G 網路等各種新技術的出現,世界各地的個人和企業預計將升級越來越多的舊電子設備。
白銀價格波動
由於其高導電性和氧化穩定性,銀是電子產品中流行的金屬。銀基油墨的典型應用包括近年來變得越來越流行的印刷和軟性電子產品。然而,白銀成本的上漲導致需要盡量減少或取代這種昂貴金屬的使用。白銀價格的波動導致製造商將注意力轉向替代的、成本較低的導電金屬,例如鋁銅和石墨烯。由於其性能較差,所提供的替代品的品質無法與白銀相媲美,從而限制了市場的成長潛力。
新型導電高分子油墨的開發
開發出一種在空氣和高溫下穩定的新型導電n型聚合物墨水。這種新型n型材料呈墨水狀,以乙醇為溶劑。只需將溶液噴灑到表面即可沉積墨水,從而使有機電子設備的製造變得更容易、更便宜。這項發展為節能印刷電子產品的創新導電油墨鋪平了道路。這種摻雜技術可用於控制導電聚合物的電氣性能並實現所需的功能。此外,研究人員表示,新開發的導電聚合物可以促進輕質、軟性電子設備的研究、開發和大規模生產,包括電晶體、有機生物感測器、發光二極體和太陽能電池。
高階技術需求
導電油墨是透過結合不同類型的金屬(例如銅或銀)或使用碳顆粒來製造的。碳顆粒是大多數應用的首選,因為它們以低成本提供多種技術特性。與其他金屬相比,碳墨水的導電率相對較低且不可靠。限制導電油墨市場成長的主要因素是與提供機械耐久性所需的大多數聚合物缺乏化學相容性。此外,還需要開發能夠賦予商業用途的導電油墨長期穩定性的技術。
COVID-19的爆發對導電油墨市場產生了重大影響。最初,全球供應鏈中斷和製造業活動減少導致需求下降。然而,隨著疫情的發展,隨著對使用導電油墨的感測器和測試設備等電子和醫療設備的需求增加,市場出現復甦。此外,向遠端工作和數位通訊的轉變推動了電子產業的發展,進一步支持了市場的復甦。技術進步和對新產品開發的關注也有助於穩定和振興疫情後導電油墨市場。
預計銀基導電油墨產業在預測期內將是最大的
銀基導電油墨領域預計將出現良好的成長。銀基油墨因其高導電性和導熱性、化學穩定性以及在氧化物狀態下導電的能力而被用於高性能電氣設備的生產。這些墨水主要用於列印現代交通票證中使用的 RFID(無線射頻識別)標籤。此外,銀奈米粒子的低熔點允許在低溫下製造導電薄膜,這對於聚合物和紙張等軟性基材的應用非常重要。
無線射頻識別(RFID)產業預計在預測期內年複合成長率最高
預計無線射頻識別(RFID)產業在預測期內將出現最快的年複合成長率。 RFID技術廣泛應用於智慧卡、信用卡和護照等各種設備。由於其高柔韌性、附著力和相容性要求,適用於廣泛的應用。此外,RFID 產品必須能夠傳輸和接收特定的射頻。使用導電墨水列印 RFID 晶片具有多種優勢,包括尺寸更小、生產更快、更有效率,從而降低生產成本。
由於最高的經濟成長速度,預計亞太地區將在預測期內佔據最大的市場佔有率,從而在不久的將來為導電油墨市場規模提供有利的業務成長機會。由於中國太陽能和家用電子電器產業的強勁成長,中國在全球導電油墨市場規模中處於領先地位。例如,中國汽車產量佔全球近30%,在整個導電油墨市場中佔有重要的需求佔有率。
由於電子製造業的需求不斷成長,預計北美在預測期內的年複合成長率最高。美國是主要的汽車之都之一,擁有許多製造設施,近年來電動車銷量激增。此外,電動車中安裝的電子元件製造產品的需求不斷成長,預計將推動導電油墨市場的成長。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Conductive Inks Market is accounted for $3.54 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $4.94 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period. Conductive ink is an electrically conductive and printable ink that is used in printed objects or electronics. Conductive ink results in a printed object, which conducts electricity. It is produced by infusing conductive substrates into ink. The ink is created by infusing conductive material such as silver or graphite into the ink, which enables electrical conduction. The conductive ink has various applications including RFID, antenna, sensors, touch screens, printed heaters, and photovoltaic cells such as perovskite, CIGS, and silicon heterojunction solar cells.
According to the Statistical Review of World Energy 2023, the world's installed photovoltaic power capacity stood at 1053.12 gigawatts, registering an increase of 22.2% in 2022 as compared to 861.54 gigawatts in 2021.
Rapid growth in the electronics industry
Rising consumer preference for more efficient and lightweight electronics products has prompted manufacturers to seek new innovative methods and materials for manufacturing miniaturized electronic components. This includes utilizing conductive ink to manufacture printed electronic devices such as organic biosensors, IoT sensors, RFID tags, touch displays, thin-film PV cells, and printed heaters. With the emergence of various new technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G networks, it is anticipated that more individuals and businesses around the world will upgrade their outdated electronics.
Price volatility of silver
The silver is a highly sought metal in the electronics sector owing to its high conductivity and oxidation stability. Typical examples of applications that use silver-based ink are printed and flexible electronics, which have grown in popularity in recent years. However, the increasing cost of silver has prompted a need to either minimize or replace the usage of this expensive metal. Silver price fluctuations have led manufacturers to shift their focus to alternative low-cost conductive metals, such as aluminum copper, and graphene. The offered alternatives have qualities that are not comparable to silver due to their inferior properties, thus restricting market growth potential.
Development of new conductive polymer ink
A new conductive n-type polymer ink is developed that is stable in air and at high temperatures. The new n-type material is in the form of ink, with ethanol functioning as the solvent. The ink may be deposited by merely spraying the solution onto a surface, making the production of organic electrical devices simpler and less expensive. The development paves the way for innovative conductive inks for printed electronics that are highly energy efficient. The doping technique may be used to manipulate the electrical properties of conducting polymers to achieve the desired functionality. Moreover, according to the researchers, the newly developed electrically conductive polymers would enable the development and mass production of lightweight and flexible electronic devices, including transistors, organic biosensors, light-emitting diodes, and solar cells.
High-end technology requirements
The conductive inks are produced by incorporating distinct types of metals such as copper and silver or by using carbon particles. Carbon particles are preferred in most of the applications as they offer numerous technical properties at a low cost. Compared with other metals, carbon inks have relatively less and unreliable conductivity. The major factor acting as a constraint for the conductive inks market growth is the lack of chemical compatibility with most of the polymers, which is necessary to provide mechanical endurance. Moreover, there is a need to develop technologies that can impart long-term stability of conductive inks for commercial purposes.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the conductive ink market. Initially, disruptions in the global supply chain and reduced manufacturing activities led to a decline in demand. However, as the pandemic progressed, the market seen a resurgence due to increased demand for electronics and medical devices, such as sensors and testing equipment, which use conductive inks. Additionally, the shift towards remote work and digital communication boosted the electronics sector, further driving the market's recovery. Enhanced focus on technological advancements and new product developments also played a role in stabilizing and revitalizing the conductive ink market post-pandemic.
The silver-based conductive inks segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The silver-based conductive inks segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. Silver-based inks are used in the production of high-performance electrical devices because of their high electrical and thermal conductivity, chemical stability, and ability to conduct electricity in their oxide state. These inks are mainly used in printing Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tags which are used in modern transit tickets. Moreover, silver nanoparticles also have a low melting point, enabling the production of conductive thin films at low temperatures, which is important for applications in flexible substrates, such as polymers and papers.
The radio frequency identification (RFID) segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The radio frequency identification (RFID) segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. RFID technology is profoundly used in a wide a variety of devices such as smart cards, credit cards, passports, etc. It offers high flexibility, adhesion, and compatibility requirements which makes it ideal for a wide-range of applications. Additionally, RFID products have to be capable of transmitting and receiving specific radio frequencies.
