Transparent Conductive Films Market: Information by Material (Carbon Nanotubes, Metal Mesh, Silver Nanowire, Indium Tin Oxide on PET, Indium Tin Oxide on Glass), Application (Notebooks, Tablets, Wearable Devices, LCD) and Region - Forecast till 2030

Transparent Conductive Films Market Overview

Transparent Conductive Films Market is projected to be worth USD 12.10 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.7% during the forecast period (2022 - 2030).The increasing use of transparent conductive films in wearable devices for touch panels is propelling the market. Because of their decreased resistance and flexibility, transparent conductive films are perfect for light control windows and organic photovoltaics. The strong need for entertainment systems and human-machine interfaces in automobiles is expected to drive transparent conductive films in prototype dashboards. Transparent conductive films are increasingly being used on vehicle steering wheels, seatbacks, automotive control panels, and entertainment panels, expected to drive market expansion.

The main drivers of this market are the falling cost of smartphones, increased acceptance of touch UI interface devices, low power consumption, reduced reflection, thinness, flexibility, and resilience. The two main constraints limiting the market growth are the lack of a one-size-fits-all solution and the multitude of possibilities for a single application. In the upcoming years, displays and photovoltaic applications hold many promises for TCF applications. Moreover, increased demand for tablet PCs and notebooks will propel the market throughout the forecast period. However, the many issues involved with the production of transparent conductive films and the high operational costs associated with conductive film manufacturing may act as major restrictions on the transparent conductive films market's growth rate. On the other hand, the market for transparent conductive films may be hampered by price fluctuations in raw materials during the forecast period.

• Mar 2022 Panasonic Corporation reported that its Industry Company had developed a double-sided full wiring transparent conductive film with low resistance and high transmissivity for the first time in the industry, utilizing its unique roll-to-roll fabrication technology. Recently, increasing image quality and larger touch displays have necessitated the creation of a transparent conductive film with superior characteristics, which has led to the continuous development of a metal mesh. Panasonic's original roll-to-roll fabrication approach allowed for a wiring width of 2 m, which was impossible to achieve with traditional etching procedures and a high aspect ratio, resulting in a transparent conductive film with low resistance great transmissivity.
