Revised NanoMarkets Numbers Show Conductive Silver Inks Market at $1.6 billion by 2015
GLEN 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 $1.6 billion in revenues by 2015. Additional details about the
report are available at http://www.nanomarkets.net.
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.
