Superconductors Market Drivers and Opportunities
Growing Consumer Electronics Industry to Favor Market
Superconductors are critical components of electronic devices, allowing advancements in communications, computers, healthcare, military systems, transportation, clean energy, and a wide range of other uses. Computers (+34%) and TV sets (+12%) have expanded far faster than cell phones (+1%) in the last three years internationally, most likely owing to COVID-19 limitations and increased time spent working and studying from home. As a result, smartphones' proportion of total sales dollars for the three device categories has decreased from 65% to 60%. With the increasing demand for consumer electronics, the demand the superconductors is expected to rise in the coming years.
