Conductive Plastics Market – Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment 2014 - 2020: Future Market Insights

Conductive plastics are polymers which conduct electricity. They possess metallic conductivity or behave like semiconductors. Conductive plastics are a new variant of plastics with tremendous ongoing research to develop them further. It is estimated that, conductive plastics would find numerous applications across various industries. Many automobile manufacturers and aerospace engineers are studying conductive plastics in order to make them suitable for industrial applications. Conductive plastics are produced by incorporating carbon fibers, carbon nano - tubes or stainless steel fibers into plastic formulation. These dispersed fibers or nano tubes bring about the electrical conductivity effect in plastics.

Report Description<br />

Countries such as China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea <strong>and</strong> India are expected to be the<br />

biggest markets for conductive plastics. These countries are the electronic <strong>and</strong><br />

automobile hubs of the world. Use of conductive plastics in automobile sensors, batteries<br />

<strong>and</strong> switches is also expected to grow considerably over the coming years. Brazil is<br />

expected to be the emerging market for conductive plastics within the forecast period. If<br />

the technology of conductive plastics is developed to meet aerospace needs, U.S <strong>and</strong><br />

Europe could be potential markets for conductive plastics within the forecast period.<br />

Research <strong>and</strong> development activities are being carried out to develop conductive plastics<br />

for bio medical devices. These plastics are being studied to relay the neuronal responses<br />

to eyes <strong>and</strong> ears via implantable devices, in case of sensory damage. Goodrich<br />

Corporation, which specializes in aircraft components, is carrying out research in the field<br />

of conductive plastics to develop light weight, sturdy <strong>and</strong> conductive plastics for use in<br />

l<strong>and</strong>ing gears. The reduced weight due to the use of conductive plastics is expected to<br />

greatly enhance the fuel efficiency of aircrafts <strong>and</strong> automobiles. Audi sedans make use of<br />

a conductive plastic named Ultraform N2320 C from BASF to manufacture the fuel filter<br />

housing. The use of this conductive plastic eliminates the risk of electrostatic discharge<br />

<strong>and</strong> sparking as fuel flows through the filter. These plastics can be used to manufacture<br />

conductive adhesives, artificial nerves, piezoceramics, optical computers, ion exchange<br />

membranes, actuators <strong>and</strong> other automobile <strong>and</strong> aircraft components.
