Stretchable conductive materials refer to self-healing materials with mechanical stretching properties. They are used for powering artificial muscles in robots, batteries and electrical devices. Some of the commonly used stretchable conductive materials include graphene, silver, copper and carbon nanotubes. They are fabricated by using inherently conductive materials with fillers or through the deposition of conductive materials on a flexible substrate or a polymer matrix. These materials retract to their original shape and size without applying any external force and are usually transparent in appearance. They are also incorporated in wearables, biomedical devices, photovoltaic and cosmetics and are used for the integration of sensors or electronic devices into textiles, energy harvesting, chemical sensing and multifunctional conforming suits.
Significant growth in the electronics industry is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, widespread utilization of stretchable and flexible conductive materials in consumer electronics is providing a thrust to the market growth. These materials are used in the manufacturing of wearable devices, televisions, smartphones and laptops with touch displays and other high-performance electronics. In line with this, the emerging trend of miniaturization of electronic devices is also contributing to the market growth. The increasing utilization of stretchable conductive materials in the fabrication of field emission displays, integrated circuits, hydrogen storage, solar photovoltaic (PV) cells and fuel cells are acting as other growth-inducing factors. The stretchable conductive materials are also widely used in the development of biomedical implants and devices that can conform to the body shape as per the requirement. Other factors, including rising energy requirements, especially in the developing economies, along with the implementation of favorable government policies, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
