Graphene Electronics Market

It will register a market share of 15.7% during the forecast period 2025-2030. Graphene is the thinnest stretchable material and is a strong substitute for traditional electrode materials. For applications like strong composite materials, flexible screens, and nano-transistors, graphene is the most desirable material. Graphene is being used to replace electrodes in batteries to boost electrical conductivity and battery life. Also, it is highly adopted in the automotive, electronics, semiconductor, and aerospace sectors owing to its superior properties like conductivity, ultra-light, and indestructible material. Solar chips, RFID, transistors, integrated electronics, and solar packaging can all benefit from graphene as an electrode material. The energy storage capacity of lithium-ion batteries has led to the increased use of graphene material. The increasing demand for flexible electronics in the commercial and consumer industries, combined with the continued focus on electronics miniaturization, has given market demand for graphene electronics, a new boost.

The COVID-19 epidemic has hampered demand for the manufacturing of raw materials and final components used in consumer markets. The overall fall in consumer electronics sales and shipping in the first half of 2020 had a negative impact on the graphene electronics market's growth patterns. The rapidly growing digitalization in industry, on the other hand, provided a promising opportunity. The pandemic prompted firms across industries to focus on going digital in order to stay adaptable in the aftermath. Several firms who were dubious about the benefits of digitization jumped on board quickly. As a result, flexible electronics for enterprise applications gained new opportunities, resulting in the growth of the graphene electronics industry.
