Producing, distributing, and selling printed materials with electrical conductivity for use in additive manufacturing techniques to directly produce electronic circuits and components on a variety of substrates is the scope of the conductive inks for the additive manufacturing market. The market is driven by the growing need for stretchy and flexible electronics, which provide benefits such as more design freedom, quicker prototyping, and less material waste. The additive manufacturing market for conductive inks is expected to grow significantly due to the increasing use of 3D printing in industries like automotive, consumer electronics, and healthcare. Advancements in 3D printing technologies and reduced printer prices are expected to drive demand for these consumable materials, which serve as printing materials in the additive manufacturing process. The design and production of electronics have been completely transformed by the development of additive manufacturing technology. Electronics companies may now create complicated components with intricate internal structures and novel form factors that were previously impossible because of 3D printing's unparalleled design flexibility. However, the high cost of silver-based conductive inks, widely used in additive manufacturing due to their superior electrical properties, is a significant restraining factor, potentially limiting their adoption in cost-sensitive applications.

 

The silver-based conductive inks segment accounted for 31.31% of the market share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
