The automotive industry emerges as a key market for conductive inks

摘要

The automotive industry is fast becoming a significant market opportunity for suppliers of conductive pastes and similar materials, soon to rival photovoltaics (PVs). Almost every major paste supplier with a global profile is re-organising its product portfolio to capture this rising trend. Multiple significant trends are re-shaping the automotive industry in an unprecedent way. Vehicles are becoming increasingly electrified, which will affect the powertrain and battery charging. In particular, this trend will increase the number capacities of devices such as inverters, DC-DC converters, onboard chargers and other devices.
