Conductive inks conduct electricity due to the presence of certain materials such as silver, copper, polymers, nanotubes, carbon, gold and nickel among others. Conductive inks are used in a wide range of applications such as photovoltaic (PV), electronic displays, sensors, automotives, smart packaging and membrane switches among others.

Growing demand for electronics and automobiles is expected to be one of the primary drivers for the growth of the market, owing to the increasing scope of application in these sectors, particularly for miniaturization. In addition, rising demand for smart packaging among consumers, particularly in emerging economies of Asia Pacific, is expected to fuel the demand for conductive inks. However, high cost of conductive inks is expected to hamper the growth of the market. Development of nanomaterials, which can be used as conductive inks, is expected to open opportunities for the growth of the market in the near future.
