GLEN ALLEN, VA – The total market for silver inks and pastes in 2011 will be approximately $4.5 billion, an increase from 2010, according to a new report by NanoMarkets.
The market size for these kinds of materials will stay in this range for the next eight to 10 years, the firm says.
NanoMarkets believes silver prices will remain high and may increase, and expects many users to reduce silver consumption. The firm sees an opportunity for hybrid silver inks, as a result.
“While these more specialist inks currently account for no more than a few percent of traditional (i.e., non-nanosilver) inks/pastes at the present time, they could easily expand to (say) 15% of all traditional pastes and inks by 2016 or so.” This would be an increase from well under $100 million to more than $600 million by 2016, NanoMarkets says.
The market for nanosilver inks is expected to be not much more than $300 million by 2016, making it just 7% of the silver inks and pastes market as a whole, the firm adds.
Thick-film applications will generate $1.8 billion in 2011 and $2.1 billion by 2016, with growth in consumer electronic markets in particular.
