Abstract
NanoMarkets believes that the conductive coatings business offers a unique
combination of drivers in the next few years. Demand for these kinds of
coatings are likely to increase as they are required to support new green
technologies such as photovoltaics, improved solid-state lighting, and more
energy-efficient building materials. Somewhat further off lie prospects for
increased business for conductive coatings through sales into emerging markets
such as flexible displays and smart fabrics. At the same time, conductive
coatings are also sold into less risky and speculative markets; an attractive
aspect of the business at the time of rough sailing in the economy.
Also attractive is the fact that the conductive coatings business is no longer
just about commodities. While the established metallic materials and metal
oxides that have dominated the business will continue to do so, there is
increasingly an opportunity for materials firms to distinguish themselves in
the conductive coatings business with new organic and nanomaterials of various
kinds.
With all this in mind, NanoMarkets presents its new market study on conductive
coatings. The report surveys the various classes of materials that are used
for conductive coatings, R&D developments relating to new materials and how
these new developments meet (or don' t meet) the needs of the marketplace. As
with all NanoMarkets reports, this report includes a detailed eight-year
forecast of conductive coatings markets by application and material and it
also provides an in-depth discussion of key materials suppliers and other
firms active in this space.
