What Are Potential Applications of Conductive Polymers in Prosthetics?

According to several sources, the world is home to more than 3 billion people with smartphones. Originally introduced to the developed world, they are now more-widely used in developing countries owing to their shifting manufacturing base to the latter and their dropping prices as a result. Moreover, people around the world are witnessing a rise in their purchasing power, which has played a vital role in propelling the sale of such consumer electronics.

Thus, P&S Intelligence expects the conductive polymers market revenue to grow from $4,441.7 million in 2017 to $7,341.2 million by 2023, at an 8.7% CAGR between 2018 and 2023. This is because these materials have become essential for such products, especially the lightweight and high-performance ones. Simply put, conductive polymers are plastic-like materials that conduct electricity and show optical properties that can be modified as per requirement. Thus, with the rising sale of consumer electronics in emerging economies, the consumption of such materials will only surge.

Presently, North America is the largest conductive polymers market because of the extensive research being conducted to explore and widen the applications of such materials. The region is home to the most-advanced medical device sector, which is why most of the trials and research activities regarding the usage of conductive polymers in prosthetics and implantable medical devices are being conducted here. In the coming years, the demand for such materials is set to shoot up in Asia-Pacific (APAC), home to the largest consumer electronics sector in the world. Moreover, regional countries are rapidly creating solar power plants, which are a key application area of conductive polymers.

Therefore, with continuous research being undertaken to come up with advanced materials for a number of applications, the demand for conductive polymers will only increase.

Why Oxygen-Free Copper Market Opportunities Galore in APAC?

Image
 The major factors in the global oxygen-free copper market are skyrocketing demand for oxygen-free copper wires in the electronics & electrical industry and electric vehicles (EVs). This surging demand is owing to their ease of welding, renowned creep resistance, high impact strength, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and high ductility. The market is predicted to grow significantly in the coming years. The outbreak of COVID-19 had disrupted the entire circular economy, significantly reducing this market’s sales because of the ruptured logistical network, shutdown of electronic & electrical product factories, and reduced EV production. Within the grade system, the oxygen-free copper market can be bifurcated into oxygen-free electronic and oxygen-free categories. The latter bifurcation generated higher revenue in the market in the past, not only in terms of value but also in terms of volume. The category will continue to exhibit this trend in the coming years as well. T

Why Is OLED Material Consumption Highest in Asia-Pacific?

Image
The technology of TV displays has evolved significantly from the cathode ray tubes of the mid-20th century to the liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of the first decade of the 21st century. With efforts on to make the displays even better, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been invented, which are rapidly becoming popular in TVs, smartphones, laptops, tablets, and automotive displays. This is because of the several advantages OLED screens offer, including brighter pictures, larger viewing angles, ability to work in a wider temperature range, and lower power consumption. Moreover, OLEDs are so thin that they can be used for curved and folded screens, which are becoming rapidly popular, especially in wearable devices and other consumer electronics. Similarly, transparent displays, which are helping revolutionize advertising activities, have become possible due to OLEDs. P&S Intelligence cites these advantages and the constant research being put i

How Will Rapid Industrialization Drive Hydraulic Equipment Demand?

Image
The Government of India completed the construction of 2,734 projects under the Smart City Mission till 2021. The government is currently working on the construction of 100 smart cities, 6 new ports and 14 coastal economic zones (CEZs). Likewise, Infrastructure Australia (IA) approved the construction of 44 new infrastructure projects in February 2021. The rising construction activities, on account of the booming population and mounting investments being made in the construction sector, will propel the need for hydraulic equipment in the coming years. Additionally, the rapid industrialization in developing countries will drive the hydraulic equipment market growth during 2021–2030. According to P&S Intelligence, the market generated a revenue of $37 billion in 2020. For instance, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) aims to offer institutional support to special economic zones (SEZs) and industrial and technology parks in Brazil. The UNIDO will help Brazil
