by Silver nanowires find usage in transparent conductive films and coatings due to their enhanced optical properties. They help in lowering the sheet resistance without affecting the optical transmittance when used in optoelectronic devices. Silver nanowires have high electrical conductivity and strong transmission of light and can be easily integrated into flexible substrates.
The Global Silver Nanowires Market Size is estimated to be valued at US$ 170.57 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.8% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
Silver nanowires have emerged as a promising alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO) for applications such as touch panels, liquid crystal displays, organic light-emitting diodes and solar panels due to their ability to maintain high optical transmittance even at large surface areas. Their high electrical conductivity and flexibility enables the manufacturing of bendable, lightweight and unbreakable electronic devices. They allow electronics to be integrated easily into fabrics, plastics and other flexible surfaces that were previously not possible with rigid materials such as ITO. The enhanced optical and electrical properties of silver nanowires is expected to drive their increasing demand over the forecast period.
SWOT Analysis
Strength: Silver nanowires have high electrical conductivity and can self-assemble into transparent conductive networks. They have high mechanical flexibility and stability under harsh environmental conditions.
