Transparent Conductive Films Market by Application (Smartphones, Tablets, Notebooks, LCDs, Wearable Devices), Material (ITO on Glass, ITO on PET, Metal Mesh, Silver Nanowires, Carbon Nanotubes), and Region - Global Forecast to 2026

“Transparent conductive films market is projected to reach USD 8.46 billion by 2026”
The transparent conductive films market is projected to reach USD 8.46 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 9.4% from 2016 to 2026. Increasing use of transparent conductive films in smartphones, tablets, notebooks, LCDs, wearable devices, and other applications due to growing population and consumption of electronic display products is one of the significant factors driving the growth of the transparent conductive films market. However, growing need for films with higher conductivity and difficulty in achieving properties offered by ITO using alternative materials are some of the major challenges.
“Smartphones is the largest application segment of the transparent conductive films, while the LCDs segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period”
Smartphones are the largest consumers of transparent conductive films. Transparent conductive films, owing to their growing consumption as thin films, allow users a rich touch experience. With the growth of the smartphones application segment, the demand for transparent conductive films is estimated to rise during the forecast period.
The LCDs segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. Large screen size, technological advancements, and changing preference of consumers for luxury products are factors that are expected to drive the transparent conductive films market.
The transparent conductive films market in the Asia-Pacific region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The Asia-Pacific transparent conductive films market is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR between 2016 and 2026. Growth of this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for transparent conductive films for various applications. The transparent conductive films market in China and Japan is expected to register significant growth during the forecast period.
The growth of the transparent conductive films market in these two countries can be attributed to the rising demand for electronic components such as smartphones and tablets. Increasing use of notebooks on production sites for effective management is another major reason for the growth of transparent conductive films market. Teijin Ltd (Japan), Toyobo Co., Ltd (Japan), Nitto Denko Corporation (Japan), and TDK Corporation (Japan) are some of the major producers of transparent conductive films in the Asia-Pacific region.
