“Silicone is the second largest in terms of value amongst other dispersant types in the thermally conductive filler dispersants market, in 2022.”

Silicone-based thermally conductive filler dispersants are widely used in various industries such as electronics, automotive, healthcare, aerospace, and telecommunication for heat dissipation applications. They are dispensed to fill air gaps and voids in electronic components. They work with heat sinks or metal cases to dissipate heat from critical electronic parts. These non-adhesive curing silicones form a soft, stress-absorbing interface and fill uneven areas to improve cooling.

“Metal fillers are the third largest in terms of value amongst other filler materials in the thermally conductive filler dispersants market, in 2022.”

Metal fillers such as silver, copper, and aluminum have high thermal conductivity, which is essential for efficient heat dissipation in various industries. They offer controllable heat conducting efficiency, which is important for applications where specific thermal conductivity requirements need to be met. In addition, these filler materials comprise metal particles with diameters less than 20 μm, which is important for achieving uniform dispersion and optimal thermal conductivity in thermally conductive polymer composites.

“Energy is projected to be the third largest in terms of value amongst other end-use industries in the thermally conductive filler dispersants market, in 2022.”

Conductive fillers have been filled into dispersants to create electrically conductive composites (ECCs) that are used in printed electronics. Surface engineering techniques have been developed to modify the conductive fillers, enabling tailor-made surface functionalities and charges. The use of thermally conductive filler dispersants can help to achieve efficient heat dissipation in the energy sector for various applications. In addition, metal particles such as copper, aluminum, and silver are common thermal conductive fillers that can be used in thermally conductive filler dispersants for energy applications. They offer high heat conducting efficiency and controllable thermal conductivity.

“Europe is the third largest in the thermally conductive filler dispersants market in 2022.”

Europe is the third largest region amongst others in the thermally conductive filler dispersants market in 2022, in terms of value. The growing medical device industry, increase in innovation and development in TIMs, rising production base of the medical device and electronics industry are expected to enhance market growth during the forecast. Thermal insulation glue is the largest segment of the thermally conductive filler dispersants market in Europe. They are used as they can spread a very thin bond line. Therefore, if the co-planarity of the substrate allows, a much lower thermal resistance can be achieved. Phase change materials are the fastest-growing sub-segment in the European market due to their easy application and increased use in computers application. All these factors are projected to drive the thermally conductive filler dispersants market in the region.
