Thermal Interface Materials Market Growth & Trends

The global thermal interface materials market size is projected to reach USD 4.1 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 11.0%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing demand for electrical and electronic gadgets is anticipated to boost the demand for thermal interface materials over the forecast period.

Increased demand for high specification electronic goods in light of new launches in the field of consumer electronics and technological innovations are likely to support the demand for thermal interface materials. Moreover, growing demand for latest technological gadgets and specialty electronics for high end operations are expected to augment the market in the projected time.

Commercial availability and enhanced performance characteristics of the products to reduce the heat transfer is likely to support the demand. Thermal interface materials are known to conduct more heat than air which it displaces as a substance to fill the imperfection between the physical contacts of solid surfaces. These substances can also be used to extract waste heat generated when a semiconductor electronic device is used to its maximum potential.

Increasing reliance on electronic devices, growing adoption of electric cars, and rising demand for smart devices are anticipated to drive the demand of the product in the estimated time frame. The market is highly competitive in nature as market influencers like high degree of innovation in terms of product development and performance, remarkable impact of e-commerce in the shopping experience, and product substitutes.
