Demand for organic photovoltaics: Growth driver
Organic solar cells are preferred over conventional photovoltaics, due to its light weight property, cheap manufacturing cost and cost-effectiveness for photovoltaic applications. Increasing demand for renewable and sustainable source of energy will drive demand for organic solar photovoltaics for the forecasted period. Solar energy accounted for the largest investment amongst all renewable energy investments in 2016. Total investment in solar energy across the globe remained $113 billion (47% share of the total renewable energy) in 2016 according to Frankfurt School & United Nation Environment Program study. High investments within solar industry are led by rising demand for sustainable source of energy, declining price of solar photovoltaics, and government initiatives. Organic photovoltaics will observe surge in demand in commercial and residential areas according to Berkley National Laboratory, USA. The cost of residential solar energy has fallen drastically since 2014. According to Berkley National Laboratory, USA, the cost for residential solar systems in 2016 reduced from average $3.30 per watt to average $5per watt in 2014. Residential solar energy market across the globe will witness 67% year on year growth according to OBRC analysis. Expanding residential solar energy market would supplement demand for organic photovoltaics aiding conductive polymers market growth for the forecasted period.
Expanding electronic market: Growth driver
Global electronic industry is anticipated to reach sales of more than $1.7trillion by FY 2017, with a year on year growth at 5%. The growth in the electronics industry is mainly led by government investment schemes and demand for electronic products such as wearables, smartphones, home appliances and others. Countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore are leading manufacturers in electronics industry across the globe. Over 55% of the global electronic manufacturing processes are focused in above four countries, according to an IEEE study in 2015. Government and public administrations are implementing various investment programs in order to drive growth within electronic sector. Digital India Campaign initiative from government of India launched in 2015 is aimed to promote investments within the electronics industry in the country. Indian Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) estimates, electronics industry in India is anticipated to reach $400 billion by 2022 from $70 billion in 2012.
Inherently Conductive Polymers (ICP) market: Fastest growing segment
