NanoMarkets has published a new market research report titled ‘Markets for ESD and Antistatic Protection Materials and Products in Electronics 2012.’
According to the report, the market for ESD protection products used in electronics applications will reach a value of $3.4 billion in 2019 from 2012 value of $1.4 billion for a CAGR of 13%. This report will be helpful for ESD protection material manufacturers to determine prospects in the semiconductor and electronics industries.
The in-depth report provides forecasts for both ESD raw materials and ESD products in terms of material source and application for a period of eight years. Materials covered in the report include traditional carbon, carbon nanomaterials, metals, conductive polymers, metal compounds and other organics. It also discusses the market and product strategies of major suppliers, including SciCron, Bayer MaterialScience, Nanocyl, RTP, 3M, Hyperion Catalysis, Heraeusa and Agfa.
NanoMarkets continues to witness significant opportunities for providers of ESD and antistatic protection materials in 2012-2013. The steady increase in the demand for electronics and computing products is the major driving factor for the market for ESD products, while shrinking circuitry increases the demand for superior performance ESD materials. Moreover, a transformation in the display market encourages the growth of latest technologies such as OLEDs, which may require different type of ESD protection.
Besides witnessing demands for new designs of ESD products, the market sees advancements in materials, most of which are associated with the rise of nanomaterials. NanoMarkets estimates that graphene, nanometals and carbon nanotubes will represent a significant share of the ESD materials market in the near future. Carbon nanomaterial-based ESD products alone will reach a value of more than $100 million by 2015. Moreover, ESD products based on inherently conductive polymers will reach a value of over $100 million by 2017, thanks to the steady growth experienced in high-performance, low-cost transparent ESD coatings.
