The transparent conductive films market is projected to reach USD 8.46 Billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 9.4% from 2016 to 2026. Factors driving the growth of the global market is the rising demand for high conductivity, low resistance, and high transparency of touch screens. Strong demand and advancement of communication technology will lead to higher consumption of smartphones and other communication devices, thereby increasing the demand for transparent conductive films.
Major applications areas of transparent conductive films are smartphones, tablets, LCDs, notebooks, and wearable devices, among others. Transparent conductive films are majorly used in smartphones. The growing demand for LCD display units and preference for luxury products are driving the growth of the LCD application segment. Transparent conductive films are thin films, which are widely used in touch screens and flexible screens. Transparent conductive films due to their mechanical properties, excellent electrical conductivity, and optical transparency are widely used in organic photovoltaic cells and other applications.
The transparent conductive films market in the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR between 2016 and 2026. Japan and China have witnessed stable economic growth, and the growth of the transparent conductive films market is expected to grow in these two countries in the future. Moreover, rising demand from electronic components, smartphones, LCDs, and other applications will drive the demand for transparent conductive films in the Asia-Pacific region.
The demand for transparent conductive films is expected to be hampered in the coming years due to certain challenges such as decreasing supply of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) due to rise in prices. Silver nanowires, metal mesh, and carbon nanotubes, among others, are some of the prominent alternatives to ITO. However, it is difficult for transparent conductive film manufacturers to provide unmatched properties of ITO through its alternatives.
Key companies operating in the transparent conductive films market are Teijin Ltd (Japan), Toyobo Co., Ltd (Japan), Nitto Denko Corporation (Japan), TDK Corporation (Japan ), Canatu Oy (Finland), Cambrios Technologies Corporation (U.S.), C3Nano (U.S.), Gunze (Japan), Dontech Inc. (U.S.), and Blue Nano Inc. (U.S.). These players are engaged in manufacturing and supply of transparent conductive films and have a strong regional presence. Companies in Asia-Pacific and Europe are focusing on additional capacities and new product developments to meet the increasing use of transparent conductive films in various applications.
