Global Conductive Polymers Market is speculated to attain steady growth through 2032 owing to the increasing expansion of the solar power industry in the US.
Increasing demand for conductive polymers in response to rising product usage across major end-use industries such as consumer electronics and semiconductors may accelerate revenue growth. Besides, an elevated emphasis on the utilization of renewable energy sources across countries such as the United States will further foster product demand.
Leading enterprises operating in this industry vertical have been focusing on improving products capabilities and features while reducing their environmental impact. They are introducing several initiatives to ensure that they abide by stringent government norms and promote future sustainability.
For instance, in June 2022, Avient Corporation, a leading provider of customized and sustainable material services as well as solutions, launched its groundbreaking PCR Color Prediction Service for polyolefins and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins, as well as CesaTM Nox A4R Additives for Recycling.
The products are specifically designed to enhance the consumer experience of working with (PCR) post-consumer recycled content. The escalating product rollouts will help create favorable growth prospects for the conductive polymers market through 2032.
The conductive polymers market has been divided in terms of conduction mechanism, application, and region.
In terms of conduction mechanism, the inherently conductive polymers (ICPs) segment is slated to surpass $1 billion by 2032. The unique mix of processability, conductivity, dimensional stability, and mechanical as well as optical qualities are primarily driving the demand for ICPs, especially in the electrical and electronics industry.
With respect to application, the actuators and sensors segment is poised to grow at more than 8.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2032. The demand for conductive polymers is expected to be driven by benefits such as high sensitivity and selectivity due to their chemical and structural variety. In addition, the strength of polymers over other materials, such as low-temperature synthesis & processing, would also fuel segment size.
Meanwhile, the batteries segment is also estimated to record a substantial revenue growth as U Conductive polymers are utilized as cathodes in Li-polymer batteries. With the demand for lithium-ion batteries rapidly rising due to the growing popularity of environmentally friendly electric vehicles, this end-use vertical is likely to offer novel growth for the market.
From the regional outlook, the North America conductive polymers market is anticipated to attain high gains through the analysis timeframe. The North America conductive polymers industry is the second fastest expanding and holds the biggest market share, over 40%, due to a strong demand from the region's expansive electronics and semiconductor industries.
The competitive landscape of the conductive polymers market is well established, with major companies such as 3M Company, Agfa Gevaert N.V., Avient Corporation, Covestro AG, DuPont de Nemours, Inc., Celanese Corporation, Henkel Ag & Co. KGaA, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), and more, operating in the industry.
