These unique organic materials, intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs), boast excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. Their benefits, such as being lightweight, flexible, cost-effective, and easy to process, make them appealing for various uses. Conductive polymers, with their effective shielding properties against electrostatic discharge and radio frequency interference, are increasingly used in packaging applications.  The demand for electronic devices, including those with conductive polymer fibers in television lasers and mobile phone screens, is a key factor fueling the market growth. The market is primarily fuelled by the rising adoption of conductive polymers in electronics, including printed circuit boards, sensors, and displays, offering improved performance and enabling miniaturization.

Market Drivers

• Expansion of Inherently Conductive Polymers (ICPS)

Traditional electrical insulators were linked to carbon-based polymers. These polymers gained conductivity by adding conductive stuff like carbon, nickel, or silver, forming a silvery film. This film transformed into a conductive substance when treated with various oxidizing agents. This led to the creation of several new conductive polymers.

• The growing demand for the electronic industry

Electronic devices are becoming increasingly sophisticated and complex, driving the need for new materials that can conduct electricity efficiently. Conductive polymers are sustainable alternatives to traditional materials such as metals, which can harm the environment.
