BOSTON, June 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The conductive ink market is diverse. This is shown in the schematic below, showing the commercialization status of diverse spectrum applications. This diversity is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because diversity imparts long-term resilience to the market and has allowed the technology to stay relevant over decades by always finding new markets and growth opportunities. A curse because this diversity makes market segmentation, analysis, and focus a challenge and because it also makes the development of a universal one-size-fits product or of sales by catalogue rather difficult. On the contrary, it makes the ability to customize formulation depending on the printing, adhesion, conductivity, stretchability, or other requirements of the application a strategic competency.

The results of the research from IDTechEx are represented in the comprehensive report, «Conductive Ink Markets 2020-2030: Forecasts, Technologies, Players«. This report offers many self-contained chapters, each focusing on the technology and market analysis of a given existing or emerging application. It is designed to help the market players make sense of emerging and existing applications, finding the right future growth segments.

In particular, the following markets/trends are of interesting:

  • 5G: The trend towards sub-6GHz 5G is enabling a transition of the power amplifier technology from Si LDMOS to GaN. This transition has thrown the market doors open to new die attach technologies, making this an interesting time for sintered paste die attach materials including pressure-less ones. In addition, filtering requirements in mmWave 5G will change, driving a transition in the technology of choice as performance requirements will be beyond incumbent solutions. Multi-layer LTCC based solutions are a promising option. The success will in turn create a market for conductive pastes.
  • Electric vehicles: the sales of electric vehicles are worldwide increasing. In turn, this means more demand for power electronics. The power electronic technology itself is changing. In particular, wide bandgap materials are gaining traction. In any case, the power density and the operating temperature are rising, in some cases beyond what existing solder can handle. In turn, this has opened many growing opportunities for Ag or Cu sintered (pressure, little pressure, or pressure less) die attach pastes. In addition, battery backs are a potential target opportunity. Here, printed temperature sensors are being proposed to offer battery monitoring.
  • Automotive (general): In addition to the electric vehicle business, the automotive business has emerged as an important target market for conductive pastes. Traditional applications include rear window de-frosters, occupancy or seat belt sensors, and seat heat sensors. The seat heating and sensor applications have extensive growth potential, whilst the window heaters will be changing their form, evolving towards transparent heaters. Emerging applications include 3D-shaped user interfaces or some exterior parts made with InMold Electronics.
  • EMI shielding: this continues to be an interesting market, especially with those OSATs or integrated chip makers selling into the non-Korean markets where there is no or little excess sputtering capacity to hinder the adoption of ink-based alternatives. Qualification is still on going and, in some cases, small production units already exist. COVID-19 may have helped, delaying some decision points and giving the tech the option to further mature.
  • E-textiles, wearables, and skin patches: The market in e-textiles is growing, albeit slightly. There is a lack of standards or even clearly defined product requirements. The supply chain is immature. Nonetheless, products are being launched. The skin patch business is huge and booming, and here printed conductors can add value in enhancing product performance and user comfort/experience. Many prototypes have already been demonstrated.

There are many other exciting markets. Even the huge silicon PV market contained surprising new opportunities- e.g., advanced activity on inkjet printed high-performance silicon PVs.

The Integrated Communication Controller, developed by Hyundai Mobis, connects various Electronic Control Units (ECU) mounted on the vehicle, e.g. the powertrain, multimedia, airbags and brake systems, through wired communication to collect and analyze various kinds of vehicle operation data in real time. It can process large amounts of data, including the data from various sensors like radars, lidars and cameras, and autonomous driving-related data.

It also communicates this information with the outside through full-time wireless network connectivity. It can also implement various connected car services, such as remote vehicle control and automatic update of the software of various systems, and functions like eCall which automatically transmits accident information in case of an emergency.

  • Expanding connectivity through convergence between automotive and information technology

The connected car, a smart mobility device is expected to greatly change the future driving environment, recently evolving in diverse directions.

As a representative example, the software of various in-vehicle systems is automatically updated so that the driver can always keep in-vehicle software up-to-date during their ownership of the vehicle without having to pay any extra attention. The errors of existing software can be corrected, and new functions and technologies can be applied to the vehicle in real time.

It is expected to improve the performance of the vehicle through the ECU updates in the vehicle, e.g. the safety, convenience and powertrain, and enhance the energy efficiency of electric vehicles by improving the software of the BMS (Battery Management System), drive motors and regenerative braking system.

It will be possible to collect and accumulate the operation data necessary for autonomous driving and high-definition maps, e.g. information on various incidents likely to occur during driving and steering information. It will then make it possible to analyze AI-based real-time traffic information to inform the driver of the best route and provide parking space information of the destination. It will also be possible to use the connected technology to implement various auxiliary functions for safe driving, e.g. real-time high-definition map update, work-zone-avoidance driving and avoiding collision with a vehicle in front of a preceding vehicle that stops suddenly.

Detailed vehicle data, including the status of the powertrain of the vehicle, fuel efficiency and driving habits, can be used not only to diagnose failures in real time, but also implement an open service ecosystem, e.g. integrated parking reservation, driving habit-linked insurance, smart home connection solutions and AI support.

Hyundai Mobis is concentrating on developing new technologies that combine its existing core component technologies, e.g. braking and steering, autonomous driving sensor technologies and integrated control technologies, to get ready for this market. The company is planning to leverage this new convergence technology to provide future car technology solutions, represented by autonomous driving and connected cars.

DOVER, Del., June 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Ecotrade Group recently acknowledged the growing popularity of its free pricebook app. Compatible with all devices, the Eco Cat App serves as an advanced search engine for pricing scrap catalytic converters in a wide variety of automotive makes and models.

Eco Cat App

With 20,000 different catalytic converters inventoried and priced so far, the Eco Cat App is an ever-growing database that is rapidly becoming the gold-standard search engine for the industry. Ecotrade Group has been a respected leader in eco-responsible and ethical catalytic converter recycling in Asia for over 15 years, leveraging state-of-the-art recycling tech and an enormous network of industry partners.

«The automotive recycling industry was sorely in need of a pricing-guide upgrade,» said Ecotrade Group Managing Partner, Maxime Le Breton.

«There has long been an imbalance between buyers and sellers in this industry, especially considering the vast catalog of catalytic converters available. And with daily marketing fluctuations, correctly identifying and pricing a converter on-the-spot can be a frustrating experience without help. Having a regularly updated app that correctly identifies and prices a particular converter in minutes has become an invaluable tool for the trade.»

The Eco Cat App: Environmental Responsibility

The Eco Cat App is an online pricebook that comes with convenient pictures, allowing buyers and sellers to look up the value of spent catalytic converters by either car or converter manufacturer. The Eco Cat App facilitates quick and easy scrap converter appraisals, providing sellers the knowledge needed to ensure they are getting a fair deal from converter buyers. And the app is updated three times a day to reflect precious-metal market shifts as they occur.

The buying, selling and recycling of catalytic converters is an enormous, globe-spanning industry that involves a great deal of automotive expertise, marketing savvy and technological knowledge. The precious metals used in catalytic converter construction are rare and costly, representing not only a unique revenue stream but also a need for state-of-the-art recycling technologies. Far from being a simple process however, the load of precious metals available in each converter depends on individual country emissions standards regulations, types of fuel, and a variety of other variables.

Catalytic converters were created to reduce the amount of harmful emissions from gasoline and diesel engines. The metals used in converters are a finite, nonrenewable resource that must first be professionally assayed before they are properly recycled. The recycling of converters represents a technological feat that is intrinsically beneficial, leading to a much more prosperous and sustainable future for the planet. With the precious metal recycling market poised to surge to over US$30 billion by 2026 from the current US$21 billion, Ecotrade Group continues to broaden its scope of practice, recently investing in artificial intelligence research and deep learning to bring other tech disciplines into the automotive recycling world.

About Ecotrade Group

Established in 2006, Ecotrade Group is an industry leader in tech-based and environmentally conscious catalytic converter recycling. Ecotrade Group has earned a solid reputation for integrity, professionalism, and transparency, with sampling methods that are fully approved by industry-leading authorities. The company offers a full range of services, including processing, sampling, and assaying of catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters. With offices in more than 10 countries, Ecotrade Group has become a global leader in precious metal recycling technology for catalytic converters.
