Market Trends of Nanowires Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Nanowires Market according to our research experts:
Consumer Electronics Segment to Dominate the Market Demand
- Nanowires, due to properties, such ashigh crystallinity, high surface to volume to ratio, and high resistance, are extensively used in consumer electronics.
- Metal nanowires are widely used in the manufacturing of consumer electronics. Nanowires find application in displays, sensors, transistors, memory devices, LEDs, conductors, etc.
- Besides, nanowires allow for faster communication between devices and microchips, which has increased its application in consumer electronics, such as smartphones, television, GPS tracking devices, identification cards, internet routers, etc.
- Hence, with the diversified application of nanowires innumerous electronics, the demand for nanowires is expected to increase with the rise in production in the electronics industry.
- Asia-Pacific has been witnessing numerous investments inthe electronics industry. Thegrowth in electronics production, especially in countries, such as China, India, South Korea, and Japan, etc.
- According toSESEI andMeitY, In India, the total production value of consumer electronics increases by about 2.4% in FY 2018 from the previous year and it is expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period.
- All the aforementioned factors are likely toincrease the demand for nanowires for electronic applications in the region, during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market
- Asia-Pacific region dominated the global market share, owing to the increasing demand from industries, such as electronics, aerospace, solar cells, sensors, etc.
- China stands to be the largest market for nanowires, as the country has been engaging in R&D activities for the development of nanotechnology.
- The country has a higher usage of nanowires in applications, such as electrical and electronics, construction, healthcare, and aerospace.
- China is the world’s largest producer of electronics. Owing to the growing electronic production, the government has set a goal for the semiconductor industry, to reach USD 305 billion in output, by 2030.
- Japan is one of the largest producers of electronic and energy equipment. The country is also witnessing new solar projects in the country to increase the share of renewable energy.
- For instance, Grasshopper Solar planned an investment of USD 80 million in Japan’s Lizuka solar plant, owned by Setouchi Koken, in September 2018. Hence, this is projected to create demand for solar panels, which is further expected to create demand for nanowires for application in solar cells.
- Similarly, the Japanese company, SoftBank Group, decided to invest USD 60 billion – USD 100 billion in a solar power project in India, which is expected to drive the demand for solar panels, and thereby solar cells.
- Besides, South Korea is one of the major exporters of electronics. Thus, with growing domestic as well as foreign demand for its electronic products, the market players have been increasing their industrial output in the country.
- Hence, all the above-mentioned market trends in the region are expected to drive the demand for nanowires market during the forecast period.
