Revised NanoMarkets Numbers Show Conductive Silver Inks Market at $1.6 billion by 2015GLEN ALLEN, Va., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- NanoMarkets, a leading industry
analyst firm based here, today announced it has released an updated analysis
of the conductive silver inks market. According to NanoMarkets' analysis and
forecast, sales of such inks will see declines for the next few years before
the market begins a recovery in 2011. NanoMarkets projects that the market
will achieve Key Insights: According to NanoMarkets, several factors are pointing to a decline in the silver inks business. Demand for consumer electronics and automobiles has declined and will remain depressed for several quarters. The firm has also significantly lowered its expectations for the RFID sector as the current environment and more conservative actions taken by companies will slow the deployment of item-level RFID and with it the need for silver inks for both antennas and chip contacts. NanoMarkets still expects to see substantial business for silver inks emerging from the solar panel metallization, especially as energy prices begin to increase again. NanoMarkets believes that lower silver prices will help silver conductive inks manufacturers stave off competition from copper and other inks in the near future. However, as inflationary pressures resume in 2010 NanoMarkets expects renewed impetus for alternative approaches to conductive inks. About the Report: NanoMarkets' report, Silver Inks and Pastes for Printable Electronics: 2008-2015 (Revised Edition) quantifies the opportunities for silver inks in both traditional applications and in RFID, Photovoltaics, Displays, Sensors and Lighting. The report covers the future of both conventional inks and pastes and the new nanosilver inks. Printing types covered include screen, inkjet, flexo and gravure. Detailed volume and value forecasts are provided for each application, including a breakout by ink and printing technology type with completely updated numerical projections with a discussion of possible high-end and low-end scenarios for silver conductive inks markets.
