Silver Nanowire-Based Conductive Ink Technology:
In an event held at NIT Warangal, indigenous knowhow of silver nanowire-based conductive ink technology was transferred to two startups.
- Silver Nanowire-Based Conductive ink technology has been developed under the project funded by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India.
- The indigenous conductive ink technology holds the promise of reducing dependency on other countries, while also enabling India to tap into the rapidly growing demand for advanced electronic materials.
- Silver nanowire-based conductive ink is a versatile material used in:
- Flexible electronics (e.g., foldable devices, touchscreen displays, computer keyboards).
- Wearable devices and sensors.
- Solar panels and display technologies.
- RFID tags and windshield defrosters.
- The global market for silver nanowire-based conductive ink and adhesive is projected to surpass $16.87B by 2032 due to a rapid increase in the electronics, semiconductor, solar photovoltaic, and RFID market.
- The market growth can be attributed to key factors, including robust demand from end-use industries.
- India imports ink worth no more than $15,72,000 every year.
- The United States of America, the People’s Republic of China, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Taiwan are the major exporter countries.
