Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fhwjnb/silver_inks_and)
has announced the addition of the "Silver
Inks and Pastes Market - 2013" report to their offering.
This latest report from NanoMarkets quantifies the market opportunities
for silver inks and pastes in electronics applications over the next
eight years. In the report, we consider how the industry's latest
commercial strategies and technical developments, as well as the
persistent environment of high silver prices, which has been in effect
for over 18 months now, have affected the market for printed silver in
electronics. We identify the applications in which printed silver will
generate revenue for the industry in the near- and mid-term, and we
examine the key players in the silver inks/pastes markets. The report
provides granular, eight-year volume and revenue forecasts for this
business by application and by material.
Printed silver, with its superior conductivity, stability, and
ease-of-use in printing applications, has long held a critical place in
electronics applications, and suppliers of printable silver materials
have enjoyed a fortunate history of new applications - home electronics,
computers and displays, photovoltaics, etc. - for their materials.
In the report, we consider the following, shifting, opportunities for
silver inks and pastes:
- We examine the traditional electronics applications for printed silver
- circuit boards, membrane switches, resistive heaters, keyboards, etc.
- and look for opportunities for thick-film silver pastes to continue to
make money.
- We review the changes in the photovoltaics industry and discuss how
changes in the business environment are damaging the growth of printed
silver in this sector.
- We look for rising applications - in OLEDs, in other new kinds of
displays, and in sensors for pervasive electronics - that may be able to
make up for losses elsewhere.
- Finally, we consider whether the nanosilver revolution will ever
happen, or if it is time to give up on nanosilver-based electronics.
Applications for printed silver covered by this report include:
thick-film electronics (printed circuit boards, membrane switches,
keyboards, resistive heaters, discrete electronic components, and other
printed circuitry applications), displays (plasma and other displays),
OLEDs (both lighting and displays), PV, sensors, and RFIDs.
