The electrical and electronics materials market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the market size for electrical and electronics materials has seen a significant expansion. There is projected growth from $2.77 billion in 2024 to $3.07 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The factors that have led to the growth in the historic period include demand for miniaturization, development of semiconductors, essentials for energy efficiency, modernization in printed circuit boards (PCBS), and the rising demand for high-performance polymers.
The Electrical And Electronics Materials market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the forthcoming years, the market size of materials for electronics and electrical purposes is set to witness substantial expansion, forecasting a growth to $4.64 billion by 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%.
Such expansion during the prediction period is attributed to the transition towards high-performance semiconductor materials, a surge in demand for adaptable electronics, IoT and wearable devices proliferation, emphasis on electric vehicles (EVs), and the need for eco-friendly materials. The prevailing trends for the forecast period encompass the evolution of nanotechnology, elastic and printable electronics, focus on materials for energy storage, the rise of wide bandgap semiconductors, and the arrival of sophisticated dielectric and insulating materials.
The expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) production is predicted to spur the rise of the electrical and electronic materials market. An electric vehicle is defined as a machine powered by an electric motor that utilizes energy from a battery, which can be replenished from an outside supply. The assortment of electrical and electronic materials is deemed a key component of electric vehicles, thus, a surge in EVs implies a greater need for these materials, stimulating the requirement for the electrical and electronic materials market. For example, data from the International Electric agency reports that in March 2024, approximately 14 million electric cars were registered globally in 2023, indicating a 35% surge from the 10.5 million in 2022. EVs constituted 18% of total car sales in 2023, an increase from 14% in 2022. This escalating trajectory signals a robust thrust in the EV market, as weekly registrations in 2023 surpassed 250,000. Battery electric vehicles made up 70% of the entire electric car stock in 2023. Hence, the swelling demand for electric vehicles is fuelling the expansion of the electrical and electronic materials market.
